Learning Objective ;   Able to understand the importance of celebrations in the                                            busy life.

              ‘’Yet, where was the magic of Christmas now?’’

Q1. Why does the author say this?

A.    Christmas is the time of great joy and merriment. When Rob was young and his father was alive, it was the time to reaffirm love and show kindness. As he grew old and left alone with his wife , he missed the magic of Christmas. So the author says these words.

Q2. How did the idea of giving his father a special gift in the barn strike Rob? What was the special gift?

A. Rob knew that Jesus was born in a barn and to the barn, wise men had come with their Christmas gifts. His father told him that the barn where Christ was born was like theirs. This struck Rob with an idea of giving his father a special gift in the barn.

                         He got up early as 2 ‘o’ clock in the morning, went quietly to the barn and did the milking on the Christmas Day.

Q3.‘’In just a few minute, his father would know.’’ What would his father know?

A.    Rob’s father would come to know that Rob had done the milking before the early hours of morning and he had freed his father from the job that morning.

Q5. ‘’Milking was not a chore for Rob on Christmas Day.’’ Why?

A.    Milking was not a chore for Rob on that Christmas Day because he wanted to present a special gift for his father by doing it himself. It did not seem to be a usual chore, but something special he did for his father.  

                      

 Q6. ''But he was not satisfied.'' Why was not satisfied?

   

   A. Rob was not satisfied because he wanted to make his wife feel that he loved her in a special way , much more than he ever had when they were young.
