     Melissa quickly grabbed the car. "No!" she screamed.She never let anyone else play with the car. "Well I said，pleased with my cleverness，" "I guess I can't play with you today." As I started walking to my room，Melissa called out to me， "Have you got my Christmas present yet？"
     "Not yet，but I will，" I said. "I've got what I'm giving you，" said Melissa She smiled and added. "it's going to be the best present ever!" "I' m sure it will，" I said flatly.I still remembered the handful of candies she had wrapped and handed to me the year before.
     The days leading up to Christmas went by quickly.The whole family spent Christmas morning exchanging gifts.I had bought Melissa a cheap toy cat at the local Dollar Store.It was not a surprise to her，but I was pleased that she liked it.When the process of exchanging gifts was over，Dad joked， "We need a dump truck for all of this wrapping paper."
