Christmas

          Christmas has got to be one of my favorite times of year but once again Jeanette Walls shows how completely different her life is from mine. She buys everyone in her family a present using only one dollar. Today I couldn't buy one person a Christmas present, never mind five people. They buy a Christmas tree for a dollar and using grandma's old Christmas ornaments decorate it. The first present they give is to their dad and it is a lighter which he throws into the fire ruining all of the other presents. Once again Mr. Walls ruins everything good for his family. This was supposed to be the best Christmas ever for his family and they had spent weeks making it perfect just to have it go up in flames.

I imagine that their Christmas Tree looked something like this
