I felt that Jess did not celebrate an enjoyable Christmas with his family. His relationship with his sisters, Ellie and Brenda were bad. If Jess had given them presents for Christmas, they would have laughed at him but Leslie would not. As for my family, we are satisfied with whatever presents we recieved from our family, friends and also, our relatives.
Jess's father had given him a racing-car set as his Chirstmas present. However, the car did not run quite well and he started cursing it with impatience. In the end, he gave up and kicked the floor dangerously near the track, saying "cheap junk". This showed how bad-tempered his father was and not caring the feelings of Jess even when it is Christmas. My father would have try to fix it and assure me that it will be okay instead of Jess's father actions such as flaring up his temper.
Jess had always spent more time with Leslie rather than his family as he get along better with Leslie instead of his parents and sisters. As for my family, we think that family are more important than friends and we should treasure the most joyous time we had such as Christmas events or others. Ellie and Brenda only cared for themselves and always leave household chores for Jess to do it. My family, bonded together, will do everything together as the 'one and only family'. =D We shared happiness, troubles and problems we had instead of Jess's family which doesn't care much about one other. Hope our relationship would not become like Jess's family. ^^
