Summary

Before Christmas, Greg gave Manny some good big-brotherly advice about his experience. When he was seven, he got this experience.

It was also before Christmas, Greg’s parents got in a big fight for what they should give to Greg. Finally, Dad won, so Greg had to pick a gift for boy. Then, Uncle Charlie could hook Greg up. However, Greg didn’t get what he asked for. He got a Barbie. Dad was not happy, but he kept it anyway.

Because of the pink Barbie shoe, Greg was in emergency room for a while.

Greg and Mom went out to buy a gift to someone who was needy. Greg thought the guy will throw all gift in the trash.

On Christmas, Greg found few gifts that were for him under the Christmas tree, but Manny received all things he circled.

When someone was going to open a gift, Dad always cleaned up the garbage. So Greg liked to stay in the corner behind the couch when he was opening the gift .

As for his brother Rodrick, who was always gave him a book as a Christmas gift, which he liked in the least. Greg gave Rodrick a book, too. It was talking about bands. Greg always gave his parents the same gifts every year but his parents seemed very happy for the gifts.

Greg was really frustrated after he received another gift from Uncle Charlie─ Uncle Charlie’s photo. Because Greg couldn’t hide his disappointment, his mother was very angry. Then, Greg’s father gave Greg a brand-new weight set.
