I was ten years old, but I was not looking forward to Christmas.The previous spring, my mother and the man who was to become my stepfather had moved our family from rural Alabama to sunny Southern California. My little brother, Todd, and I were leaving behind our father and all of our extended family. This would be my first Christmas away from Alabama.My elegant mother took to California like a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother enjoyed the climate that allowed him to be outdoors 11 months of the yea.I, however, was a fat, awkward child with a high-pitched voice and a heavy southern accent. My first day at my new school, I went to the front of my fourth-grade class to introduce myself. All I said was my name and where I was from.

But the line was busy, ad despite several attempts, I didnt get through.To make matters worse, my mother was always encouraging me to lose weight. She had been a fat child herself and saw weight loss as the key to my happiness.Granny Smith was everything good about Christmas. Her language of love was food. She would spend weeks cooking for Christmas Eve, when all of her children and grandchildren would gather at her house, which was tiny and saturated (使充满) with plain Christmas decorations. But to my childhood aesthetic (审美), it was glorious.She sewed new pajamas for all of her grandchildren. She searched for catalogs, newspaper advertisements, and stores all over the town to get us exactly the toy we had requested.She was my solace. She was my resilience. She was magical.I missed her desperately.4. What can we know about the author?A. He expected a merry Christmas.B. He enjoyed the life in California.C. He spent his childhood in California.D.
