Secret Christmas Deed

Can’t help but to succumb to the spirit of giving, without which Christmas has no meaning for me. Back when i was 16 (1980) just finished my Form 5 exam, me and my buddy planned to give a surprise Christmas gift to a poor family who lives near the Blessed Sacrament Church in Labuan, Sabah (before Labuan was declared Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur). Couldn’t remember if the family have any children. We bought some basic stuff like canned foods, biscuits, etc, put them all in a carton placed it just outside their door before the Midnight Mass was about to begin. What happened next we never knew but I guessed if I were to see their expression upon seeing the gift I would get emotional.
