No name, no address. It has hung on our Christmas tree for about 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. He didn39。t hate the true meaning of Christmas, but the mercial（商業(yè)的） way of it, spending too much on the usual Christmas gifts, such as rushing into a store to buy a tie for Uncle Harry. Knowing he felt this way, I decided not to buy the usual gifts, such as shirts and sweaters. I reached for something special for Mike. The idea came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, 12, was wrestling（摔跤） at the school. Before Christmas there was a match against a team helped by a city church, mostly poor kids. As the match began, I was surprised to see the other team wrestling only wearing the old clothes because they couldn39。t afford the wrestling uniforms, while our boys in their blue and gold uniforms. Of course, we ended up with beating them. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, I wish just one of them could have won. In fact, they could if they had worn the uniforms. They have talent for wrestling, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them. Mike loved kidsall kids and he knew them, having trained kids 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 greatest thing about Christmas that year and the next years. You see, we 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. Mike39。s spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.（1）Mike hated Christmas because he .
