Thanks for your letter. I wish I'd been at that party and had fun with all of you! I usually have birthday parties. I invite some of my class- mates and closest friends. Besides birthdays my friends have New Year's parties, but I don't attend them since New Year is a family celebration here. My favorite celebration is Halloween, which has become popular here. However it's not allowed in my school, that's why my friends and I have Halloween parties at home. We dress up in costumes have snacks and drinks play jokes, dance and tell scary stories. Sometimes our parents join us. I really think this day is for fun! Tell me about your grandma's visit. How long did she stay? What did you do? Does she live far away? Write soon!
