My Christmas This Year
I made my son happy this Christmas. I think. I hope so. I bought him his first Android phone. :) It cost quite a lot, at least in my standards. I am (for the most part!) a practical spender, and my son knows it. I have been using the same outdated cellphone for the last two or three years, and I am not even thinking of getting a new one anytime soon. So, when he told me that this Christmas wish was to have a new phone, the hesitation was there. I will never forget, however, the happiness on my son's face the moment the sales clerk handed him his brand-new phone. I saw in my son a very youthful look of excitement, pride, and joy. He's 15, and at his age, the one thing that matters to him most is his life in the virtual world. As we walked out of the store, my son uttered a word of thanks to me. That was very thoughtful and heartwarming. Every centavo I shelled out for that gadget was suddenly worth it.
