Dear ann, thanks a lot for your letter.it was lovely to hear from you.i'm glad you're ok.you asked me to tell you about some christmas traditions. christmas is my favourite festival.there are lots of reasons why i like it: a christmas tree shining with lights and tinsel.colourful stockings hanging near the fireplace and presents.i love getting presents.do you? my younger sister believes father christmas comes down the chimney and puts his presents in our stocking.but i know our parents do it.last christmas i was at my aunt's in london.my cousin susan and i went to hyde park to watch people swimming in the serpentine.my uncle swam too.he lakes swimming and he always swims on christmas day.do you swim in winter? what are your new year traditions? please write to me soon.love emma. перевидите текст
