Possible Answer: One time I made a sacrifice was at
Christmas. Two years ago our family decided to not buy presents
for each other. We did this because we really didn't need
anything. Instead we bought presents for a poor family that lived
in our city. On Christmas Eve we went to their house and gave them
the presents. It was a sacrifice for me, but it also made me feel
very good.
