This is a nice Christmas story of a mother who took a gift even though she cherished the dress she had.
She probably was contented with or didn't want to make a big thing of out, one dressed she loved so much. People do have favorite and no matter what they get they still go back to something the like the best.

This is such a nice story. It shows the true meaning of Christmas at the end. The happiness and togetherness and kindness it should bring.
The cruelness in the beginning is changed to happiness in all.
Congrats on winnng the contest.

What a sweet story. I can see why it won the contest. All the details in the boy's head really bring this to life. I especially like the way Mom is so careful not to tear the wrapping paper.
Nicely done!

What a touching and truly beautiful story. I remember one very much like it from my own youth, only it was my mother's dress she was altering for me to wear for the music festival that year.

Thank you for sharing this -- it makes a special gift for your readers, IMHO. Best of luck in the contest.

I love this story. It is so full of warmth and love that a son feels for his mother. I love the excitement he feels when he sees her walk into church with her new dress on. It shows how some children do realize the sacrifices their parents make, and the plight that some of their parents are in despite hard work. What a touching story! Great work!
