News Reporter: Hello. This is Charles Richards from Channel 7 News, and we're down here, uh, at the City Mall, interviewing people on how they celebrate Christmas. And, uh, hi young lady. What is your name?

Young Girl: Elizabeth Carter.

News Reporter: And, uh, Elizabeth, uh. How does your family celebrate Christmas?

Young Girl: We go sledding, and we go over to my grandparents' house and have dinner with them.

News Reporter: Well, that is great, and let me ask this young man. Hi, what is your name? [Johnny.] And Johnny, how old are you?

Steven: Giving but not expecting to get.

News Reporter: Now, that's kind of hard for a young man like yourself. What does that mean: Giving by not expecting?

Steven: Well, one thing that we do is secret giving.

News Reporter: Secret giving? Now how does that work in your family?

Steven: We sneak up to the porch of somebody that we want to give to, we put the gift that we want to give to them, ring the doorbell, and hide.

News Reporter: Ring the doorbell and hide? Uh, so you're not expecting something; you just want to be generous to someone else. Is that right?

Steven: Yeah. That's correct.
