Tears of Joy On Christmas

     The best gift I've ever given someone is jar that counts the money that you put in it, inside the jar was 50 dollars. It isn't much, I know that it isn't the best gift in the world, but it felt good when my mom recieved it, she cried because, to her, it showed that I really tried to help her, and that I cared enough to try to give her something as important as money. At the time I was was young, but I was old enough to understand what money problems were. I knew that money was something my mom didn't have a reliable source of at the time, so I kept I jar in my room for a couple months to collect spare change in. I kept it hidden in my room, so my mom would never see it. I don't recall exactly where I got it, but I'm glad I did because the concept of it counting coins is what made this fun. Every time my grandfather gave me the left over change from going to the store, I would put it in the jar. I would search the house meticulously for dimes and such under the couch and on the floor.  By the time Christmas came I had a little more than 50 dollars. When I gave it to her she cried, I didn't understand why at the time and I thought I had made her angry, but I was glad to learn that the tears coming from her eyes were tears of happiness.
