The Christmas Present

avatar
(Edited)

Janet wanted a little surprise for her daughter Cordelia, she had just turned 7 and it was going to be the first time she'd celebrate the Christmas festival without her dad who had traveled for an assignment. Cordelia had always wished for a teddy, Janet felt it was the right time to get her one and some Christmas presents to put a smile on her face hoping she doesn't miss her dad so much.

She went to a store in the town and enquired of them what best she can surprise her daughter of 7 with during the festival. Mrs Gloria was glad to give her opinion and assisted her in getting some. She picked some items from the shelves while they moved around the hypermarket

"My daughter turned 7 last Christmas too. She was happy I got her these gifts," Mrs. Gloria said to Janet while she made selections for her. "I hope she'll like them too," she added.

Janet was happy with the items. They cost her less than she had budgeted and were enough to put a smile on a young girl's face.

She took them home and kept them in a hidden place hoping to give her a surprise.

What I see And My Feeling about the Photo

I see some presents and the colors being red and white signifies they're Christmas gifts. They're yet to be unwrapped, this I believe might happen on the day it's presented. The gift definitely is for a young child and I suggest it would come as a surprise.

What a considerate mother to do everything she could to surprise her daughter and at the same time distract her from missing her father too much during the holiday. Sometimes when you think of doing something nice and special for someone else, you also get a gift in return. Finding the teddy and other items to fit the mother's budget was her gift for being thoughtful.

What a lovely story. I enjoyed the read. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care.

I can see what you see. I am sure these are Christmas presents yet to be wrapped too. I hope Janet's 7 year old daughter will love her presents her mum and Gloria picked for her.

It sounds a bit odd to me a mom does not know what her child likes. For these moms it is good there are people like Mrs Gloria who can help out.
