Hello! Thank you for contacting our classroom! It is very exciting for me
to have communication with you and your students.

We are currently on Christmas vacation (holiday). The students start school
again on January 2nd. My students will be very pleased to hear from you and
I can't wait to share the e-mail and beautiful pictures with them. 

We have been celebrating Christmas with our families. Christmas is a
religious holiday for the Christain believers. It is the day that our Savor
was born. Like your Chinese New Year, we too celebrate, by receiving new
toys, clothes and many other Christmas presents. We also enjoy luxuious
feast during this holiday season. Santa Claus visits the children on
Christmas eve and it is a very special time for everyone. Families and
friends visit and spend time together.

This holiday has been extra special for our family because we have an
exchange student staying with us, here in Kentucky. Her name is Julie and
she is from Germany! She has taught us many new and exciting things about
her culture, too!

I hope your class will enjoy communicating with us as much as we will enjoy
communicating with you! This is a special privilege for all of us! Thank
you for contacting our class. Please stay in touch and Happy "Spring
Festival" to you all!
