(p.129)I kind of decided to throw in the towel for this Christmas

I had to explain that you need a game system and a TV to play Twisted Wizard, so the game was totally useless to him.
난 엄마한테 Twisted Wizard 게임을 하려면, 게임기하고 텔레비젼이 필요하다고 설명했다. 그러니까 그 게임은 완전히 그에게 쓸모 없었다.

Even though my Christmas was not going that great, I'm sure it was going a whole lot worse for the Giving Tree guy.
비록 나의 크리스마스가 그렇게 훌륭하게 진행되지 않았지만,  Giving Tree guy에겐 훨씬 더 최악이었을 것이라 확신한다.

I kind of decided to throw in the towel for this Christmas, and I headed up to Rowley's house.
난 이번 크리스마스는 포기 하기로 결정하고 난 라일리의 집으로 갔다.
