But the big 3 for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall．They talked and 4 for weeks ahead of time，asking each other and their grandparents what they wanted for Christmas．I dreaded it．I had 5 $100 for presents to be shared by all five of us.

The 6 day arrived and we started out early．I 7 the money equally among us and reminded them to 8 gifts about four dollars each．Then everyone scattered for shopping.

Back in the car driving home，everyone was 9 high Christmas spirits，but my younger daughter，Ginger，was unusually 10 .I could 11 through the plastic bag that she had bought candy bars—fifty—cent candy bars! I was so angry．For what did you swap the twenty dollars you 12 from me?
