Dear Jacky,
This is Johnny talking to you from the other end. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. I know you would be missing Momma’s muffins very dearly; since it is the same way around here as well. But nonetheless, do not let this thing overcast your joy and your celebrations for Christmas. It is we who opted for this life and both Mum and Dad have supported us well for this. Now, it is our responsibility to prove ourselves worthy of all the care and trust which they have showered upon us for all the years.
However, do not lose yourself in your work. Find time to celebrate. Make a Christmas tree for yourself and decorate it the same way you did like always. I pray everything you desired meets you this Christmas. Missing the ferocious snow fight which both of us use to have every year,
Your buddy and brother,
Johnny
