(b) In the story, Jess’s family celebrates Christmas together, it is somehow similar to how we celebrate in Singapore. Every year during Christmas, we will all be busy shopping for presents for our family and friends at shopping malls and exchange our gifts with them, so does Jess’s family.
Jess’s sister, Joyce Ann hopes that on Christmas, Santa Claus will comes into the house through the chimney to give her a Christmas present, but it was always Jess who was the “Santa Claus”. It is also the same for me, as when I am still young, I used to think that Santa Claus will ride on his reindeer and go round the world distributing the presents to the children. But this “dream” never seems to come true for me every year. It was my parents who came sneaking into my room when I was asleep and put the present by my bed or they will give it to me directly. I get to realise it only when I grow older, that Santa Claus do not really exist.
While we were shopping happily and not worrying for the prices of the presents, also looking forward to Christmas, Jess's family were sulking over what to buy for their family and friends as their father had only given them a dollar each.
