Dear John,

How are you? Is everything alright? I hope so.
You know, my family really loves winter holidays (including me). We absolutely adore making gingerbread, shrimps and cakes on New Years. We decorate Christmas Tree with red, yellow, blue and white balls every year and wait for Santa Clause to come and leave us presents in socks near the fireplace. On the New Year Eve there are a lot of people in our house. Our grandmothers and grandfathers always visit us on the 31-st of December and give us presents. But when it's Christmas nobody visits our family and my brother/sister goes caroling. After it he/she comes back home with a lot of candies. How do you celebrate winter holidays?

Take care,

[Your name]
