    It was a cold and snowy December, and the Miller family was struggling to feel the holiday cheer. Their small home lacked the warmth and joy that Christmas usually brought.

    The family had fallen on hard times, and there was hardly any money for presents or decorations. Despite this, the Miller family tried to keep their spirits up.

    Their only solace was an old Christmas tree that had been in the family for generations. It was a bit scraggly and bare, but it held so many memories.

    One evening, as the family was huddled around the tree, something magical happened. The tree started to shimmer and glow.

    From the base of the tree, wrapped presents started to appear. Each one had a name tag, indicating it was for a member of the Miller family.
