Dear Daniel
I am writing to say thank you for your letter that I've just got. I hope all is well with you and your family.
 In your letter you told me about celebration of Thanksgiving in your country. You know, we don't celebrate such holiday in our country. But we have some other holidays that are celebrated in winter. The greatest one is New Year. And this holiday is best loved not only in my family but all over the country. This day we prepare holiday table, cook a lot of tasty things. Nothing special, but different salads and what not. We decorate the new year tree and wait for the midnight. When the clock strikes twelve, we drink for the new year and congratulate each other. Do you celebrate this holiday? If you do, tell me about the tradition of celebrating it in your country.
Well, I'm sorry but I really have to go now. I hope to hear from your soon.
Stay in touch and do write.Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Love

Frankly speaking, Christmas is one of my favourite winter holidays! This year I spent it with my family. My brother was responsible for adornments. My sister was asked to find a great venue. And I was expected to find some new recipes for the unique Christmas dishes. So I started to look for some unusual ideas related to the Christmas celebration. However, it was not so simple as it seemed at first. I must admit, that I got really confused while trying to make it come true. As a result, I had no ideas about Christmas menu at the morning of Christmas Day. Therefore, my mum got completely cross with me! Fortunately, I remembered about my classmade Nick, who was really good at cooking and learning foreign national dishes. He helped me with the Christmas preparation and tought all the unique resepies of some tasty dishes.Another part of the day I spent with my family. The venue and adornments were really inconceivable! We enjoied playing games, watcching TV and telling Christmas stories. All the family approved the Christmas venue, I was so pleased! That certainly was the best Christmas celebration ever:)
