Give a suitable title for the passage
“Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents,” grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
“It’s so dreadful to be poor!” sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
“I don’t think it is fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls have nothing at all,” added little Amy, with an injured sniff. “We’ve got father and mother, and each other,” said Beth contentedly from her corner.
The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, “We haven’t got father and shall not have him for a long time.” She didn’t say ‘perhaps never’, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, “You know the reason mother proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure, when the men are suffering so in the army. We can’t do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don’t.” And Meg shook her head regretfully at all the pretty things she wanted.
“But I don’t think the little we spend would do any good. We have each got a dollar, and the army won’t be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself. I’ve wanted it for so long,” said Jo who was a bookworm.
“I plan to spend mine in new music,” said Beth, which no one heard but the hearth brush and kettle holder.
“I shall get a nice box of Faber’s drawing pencils. I really need them,” said Amy decidedly.
