The Christmas Spurs — Bill Wallace

The Greatest Gift of All

When you're a big brother you don't cry, no matter how scared you are. And I'm scared. My little brother, Jimmy, is sick. All I want for Christmas is for him to get well.

Santa seems to be listening when we get Buck, the best horse ever! I get spurs, and Jimmy gets a new cowboy hat, a real Stetson. He's so happy it almost makes us forget...untilJimmy's in the hospital again. I try to act big and strong. But I feel angry and sad, until the miracle happens...on an unforgettable Christmas day...
