Dearest Marie,
Words could not express how overjoyed I was at receiving and reading your last letter. Your letters always make me smile and brightens up my day. I am doing well at home and at work. We are all busy preparing for Christmas eve and the holiday season is in the air!
I will be spending Christmas with my family in California. It is family tradition to be at our grandparents’ house on Christmas eve. Everyone shares food and stories. This Christmas though, I feel a tinge of sorrow because I could not spend it with you. Since we have been writing each other, I have fallen in love with you and I want to be with you on special occasions like Christmas. I truly want to share with you the happiness and love of the season, and I especially want to hug you to keep you warm. I hope we could finally meet soon.
Love,
Alvin
