Sample Letter: Winter Holidays

You have received a letter from your pen-friend, in which he / she tells you about his / her plans for winter holidays. Write a letter in which you say

Hi, Mike

hope you’re well. Actually, my parents and I are going to decorate our pine tree and make some dishes for future winter holidays. As far as I understand, you also are going to renovate your daily interior and make something special for celebrations.

In November, I bought a lot of wonderful decorations, but as things turned out they are needless for this winter. I will be visiting my grandparents, who live in Seattle. We will return in spring.

However, I don’t like winter at all. The cold weather, bored people, long nights make me feel tired and sad from day to day. But separately from the weather, I am really into in celebrating Christmas, my favorite holiday every year. That is a wonderful period when the whole family troop together, have fun and praise the birth of God.

As far as I was talking before, I hate cold and muddy weather in winter so, due to that I prefer to stay indoors : watching films, spend time with friends, make Christmas dishes and so on.

How do you like to spend your winter holidays ? indoor or outdoors ? With friends or family ?

Write me back as soon as possible. I will be waiting for your letter.

Wish you all the best. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Amanda
