No name, no address. It has hung on our tree for about 10 years.It was all because my husband, Mike, hated Christ-mas. He didnt hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial（商業(yè)的） way of it: spending too much on the usual Christmas gifts, such as rushing into a store to get a tie for Uncle Harry.Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts. I reached for something special for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, 12, was wrestling at school. Before Christmas, there was a match against a team helped by a city church. As the match began, I was surprised to see that the other team was wrestling only in old clothes because they could not afford the wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course we ended up beating them.Mike shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “In fact, they could if they wear the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.”Mike loved kidsall kidsand he knew them, having trained the kids in football and baseball. At that time, I thought of the idea for the gift. That afternoon, I went to a store and bought some wrestling uniforms and sent them to the city church for the kids without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I put the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and telling him that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and the following years.You see, weve lost Mike now. But every Christmas Eve I would put an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, three more joined it. Each of our children had secretly put an envelope on the tree for their dad.Mikes spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.（ ）1.
