Now if you come to think of it, today's Christmas is really impaired without those big boxes in colorful wrappers tied up with glistening ribbons and piled up at the foot of the Christmas evergreen, those red stockings chock-a-block with Santa's givings, those warm cards displayed on the mantle and many more sweet Christmas surprises.
