天天过圣诞节。小姑娘琼斯非常喜欢过圣诞节，因为每到这一天她都能收到很多礼物，于是琼斯给圣诞仙子寄去了一封信，请求仙子让她天天过圣诞节。第二天早晨，琼斯一起床就发现床头的长袜子里塞满了巧克力和水果。她走进客厅，又看到一棵美丽的圣诞树，上面挂满了五颜六色的灯泡和琳琅满目的礼物。琼斯好高兴啊，她一下子吃了许多巧克力和水果，然后就忙着到各家去送礼物，还和伙伴们玩了很久的雪橇，简直开心极了！这天晚上，琼斯睡得又香又甜当她醒来时，看见许多邻居家的孩子手里捧着礼物站在她的床前。圣诞快乐！圣诞快乐！他们大声喊叫着。琼斯马上想起给圣诞仙子写信的事儿，她对自己说：好啦，天天过圣诞节的日子开始了！琼斯像小鹿一样快活地冲进客厅，却听见妈妈在抱怨：这么多礼物往哪儿放呀？爸爸也在说：奇怪啊，昨天不是刚刚过完圣诞节吗？琼斯暗暗得意，一高兴又吃了很多好吃的东西，然后就跑出去滑雪结果啊，这天晚上她的肚子疼了一夜，觉也没睡好。接下来，当然又是圣诞,圣诞，一个接一个，没完没了，连喘息的空儿都没有。森林里所有的树都被砍下来当圣诞树，火鸡也卖到了1000美元一只。人们因为每天都要互相送礼，已经变得非常穷，糖果店,水果店,礼品店和邮局倒是发了大财。http://www.sanwen.net/琼斯家呢，本来宽敞的房间里现在堆满了礼物，走路稍不留意就会摔跟头；所有平时好吃的东西，现在却让人倒胃口；雪橇也坏了，被扔在院子里；琼斯已经累得连说话的力气也没有了，只能整天蜷在沙发里发呆；爸爸妈妈的心情越来越坏，动不动就发脾气。圣诞节竟会变得这样让人讨厌，这是琼斯根本没想到的。要不是有天夜里说梦话泄露了秘密，她永远也不敢把自己做的傻事讲出来。伙伴们都不跟琼斯玩了，他们说，都是因为琼斯太贪心，才给大家带来了这么多的麻烦。琼斯赶快又给圣诞仙子写了一封信，请求她原谅自己的过失并恢复一年过一次圣诞节的习俗。人们知道了这个消息，都欣喜若狂。他们奔走相告：太好啦，我们终于又可以过一种正常的生活了！
