Her heart swells with pride and love as she reflects on the true meaning of the season. "It's not about the presents," she murmurs to herself, "It's about love and unity."

Liza, Marco, and Ella join their neighbors, sharing what little they have. "Look, Mom! They're giving away food to those who need it," Marco exclaims, pointing to a group distributing meals. Liza nods with a smile, "This is what Christmas is truly about," she tells them.
