She bought the cheapest meat, the cheapest vegetables. And when she was tired, she still walked round and round the shops to find the cheapest food. She saved every cent possible. Delia counted the money again. There was no mistake. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And the next day was Christmas. She couldn't do anything about it. She could only sit down and cry. So she sat there, in the poor little room, and she cried. Delia lived in this poor little room, in New York, with her husband, James Dillingham Young. They also had a bedroom, and a kitchen and a bathroom – all poor little rooms. James Dillingham Young was lucky, because he had a job, but it was not a good job. These rooms took most of his money. Delia tried to find work, but times were bad, and there was no work for her. But when Mr James Dillingham Young came home to his rooms, Mrs James Dillingham Young called him 'Jim' and put her arms round him. And that was good. Delia stopped crying and she washed her face. She stood by the window, and looked out at a grey cat on a grey wall in the grey road. Tomorrow was Christmas Day, and she had only one dollar and eighty-seven cents to buy Jim a Christmas present. Her Jim. She wanted very much to buy him something really fine, something to show how much she loved him. Suddenly, Delia turned round and ran over to look in the glass on the wall. Her eyes were bright. Now, the James Dillingham Youngs had two very special things. One was Jim's gold watch. It once belonged to his father, and, before that, to his grandfather. The other special thing was Delia's hair. Quickly, Delia let down her beautiful, long hair. It fell down her back, and it was almost like a coat around her. Then she put her hair up again, quickly. For a second or two she stood still, and cried a little. Then she put on her old brown coat, and her old brown hat, turned, and left the room. She went downstairs and out into the road, and her eyes were bright. She walked along by the shops, and stopped when she came to a door with 'Madame Eloise — Hair' on it. Inside there was a fat woman. She did not look like an 'Eloise'. 'Will you buy my hair?' Delia asked. 'I buy hair,' Madame replied. 'Take your hat off, then, and show me your hair.' The beautiful brown hair fell down. 'Twenty dollars,' Madame said, and she touched the hair with her hand. 'Quick! Cut it off! Give me the money!' Delia said. The next two hours went quickly. Delia was happy because she was looking round the shops for Jim's present. At last she found it. It was a gold chain for The Watch. Jim loved his watch, but it had no chain. When Delia saw this gold chain, she knew immediately that it was right for Jim. She must have it. The shop took twenty-one dollars from her for it, and she hurried home with the eighty-seven cents.

Magical winter

Winter is a fairy season of a year. I like bright and frosty weather and snowing outside. Bizarre patterns are appearing on the window plates. When everything is covered with white snow it seems that you got into some kind of a fairytale. Moreover it’s a great time to skiing, sliding, snowballing and making snowman.

When it is too frosty outside you don’t even want to go outside at first. But once you’ve got out and walk on a lane listening to snow creaking it becomes joy. Main in thing in such weather is to keep moving. It is impossible to freeze while walking, running, riding skies or sleigh.

January is the time of greatest holidays of Christmas and New Year. All relatives are gathering and mother cooks tastiest things. I like the blinking of garlands in windows during those holydays. But most pleasant parts of all festivities are given and presented present. I used to believe in Santa Claus but presents from parents are great too.

Winter gave us lots of beauty and joy. One can spend time with use to health even despite the cold weather. And it’s great time to spend time with relatives. And even when there are severest frost outside one should remember that winter won’t last forever and warm spring is ahead.

                                        New Year in USA
In the United States, New Year's Eve is a time for entertaining.Many people go to parties and masquerade balls, where, according to an old tradition, guests unmask at midnight.Thousands of Americans gather in Times Square in the heart of New York City, This is probably the noisiest and the most crowded New Year's Eve celebration in the world!At one minute before midnight, a lighted ball drops slowly from the top of a pole on one of the buildings. People count down at the same time as the ball drops. When it reaches the bottom, bells ring, sirens sound, firecrackers explode, people hug and kiss, and shout "Happy New Year!" Everyone drinks a toast to the New Year and sings "Auld Lang Syne"It is believed that everything done or not done on the opening day of the year would influence the succeeding twelve months.Nothing is allowed to be taken out of the house on New Year's Day. Thus, normally generous people would flatly refuse to lend anything on this day.
