After surprising his neighbor, Mark, a teenage boy, found himself inside her house. It was there that he noticed a familiar photo on the shelf. He wondered, “Is that my mom?” before showing the picture to the elderly lady.
Mark took pleasure in strolling along the street outside his house on Christmas Eve every year to observe how his neighbors decorated their homes.
He liked watching the twinkling lights and the cheerful decorations. However, one house always stood out from the rest. It lacked Christmas lights, and its front yard was consistently empty.
The teenager didn’t know much about the homeowner because she never talked to anyone.
An old lady lived in that house on that corner of the street, but she rarely interacted with the neighbors or accepted invites from others. She liked to stay indoors, but Mark tried to silently help her whenever he could.
While walking down the street before Christmas, Mark noticed that the old lady’s house wasn’t decorated this year either. “Why don’t the other neighbors help her put up lights or buy her a Christmas tree?”Mark wondered.
As he walked home, he thought he should do something to please the elderly lady in the spirit of the festival.
“I think I know what to do!” he said before he entered his house.
The woman left her house every Saturday to buy groceries from the nearby supermarket. Mark thought that would be the perfect time to decorate her house and surprise her. Per his plan, the teenager grabbed a ladder from his house and a few garlands before reaching the old lady’s house.
