It was a cold December, at the end of the Great Depression, and things were tough. Mum had a _________ time raising us kids on her own. Looking back, I realize what Mum _________ sending us to school. Constant _________ was typical for my family, and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer.

The holidays were fast _________ , and we received S25 for Christmas from social services. Mum said instead of buying food and Christmas gifts, she was going to pay back our _________ with it. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer.

Unknown to Mum, I had been _________ Christmas trees, shoveling (铲) snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots.

The _________ day came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very _________ as I hurried to catch the bus into town. On the way a house with Christmas decorations reminded me that at our house, we had no such things and no _________ for Christmas goodies. Suddenly, I felt a sense of __________ . Here I was going to spend S23 on a pair of boots, while Mum was probably home __________ , wondering how to explain why there were no __________ .

The bus drove off and I stood alone, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I went into a __________ across the street, with __________ and excitement. I bought a turkey, ham and all the Christmas trimmings. I spent every dime of my __________ money.

Two boys with carriers on their bicycles ran those groceries to our house. After we __________ piled (堆) the groceries against the door, I __________ the door.
