Dear Clare,
Thank you for_your letter_.
I liked my last New Year Eve and New Year day and Christmas because_I had a nice rest during all these holidays__.

At_the party_we danced to modern music and played with Father Christmas different games and then got sweet presents from_him.
All the evening we were very busy but happy at home.
The next day we were_ at the theatre and watched_the performance"_New Year fairy tale". It was awesome.
On Christmas Day__our relatives came to see us and we had a wonderful holiday dinner together_.
Love,
