Then she asked, "Shall we invite him over today?" "Sure," said her mother who was always happy guests came. Her father smiled. When Joy called Nick two hours later, he was deeply (move). He joined them for dinner. To Joy's surprise, she enjoyed (spend) time with him. Joy came to understand sharing Christmas cheers is the (great) joy to Nick, even to the whole world.
