While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in   41   ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces,   42   a few and took them home.

I was afraid that they would disappear among other   43   gifts of a Christmas tree,   44   I used them to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to    45    my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?

Some people in our community   51   had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t   52   with holiday decorations.

I nodded my head in determined   53  . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath.   54   the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into   55  .
