Hello Diana,
It is (твое имя) writing to you. Do you remember me? Sorry, I couldn't answer to you for 5 days because of Post Office breaking. You know, it was a lot of snow on the 21th of December. And something happened at this Post Office...But let's talk about your questuons! Yes, I already have! I bought to my mother aroma candles(she absolutely love those candles with nice smell of lavender. She likes it very much. I also knitted to my father a scarf and socks. (I choose his favourite colour - green). And I made special chocolate for them. It has special surprise on it - there are a lot of dried raspberries. Of course I thought about you. I made special present for you too. Don't forget yo pick it with this letter. I'm going to spend Christmas holidays with my family, because I havent seen them for too long.
Love always, (твое имя).

Hello, Diana.

How are you?

Thanks for your letter! As soon as I have received it I start writing to you.

I have already bought some little presents for my family. I am going to spend Christmas holiday at home. I want to spend some time with my family. We are going to go skiing and skating. We are going to go to the cinema and to visit all our relatives. 

How are you going to spend Christmas holidays? What presents have you bought for your family?

Sorry. I have to go. I must help my mother to make dinner.

Merry Christmas!

With love,

Kostja.
