Dear Leslie,

How are you? I hope you are as fit as fiddle. It’s been a long time
since I wrote to you.

Christmas is one of the most important festivals of Christians. It is

celebrated every year on 25th December. We wear new clothes
and attend special prayers in the church on Christmas. All the
family members decorate Christmas trees with toys, decorative
lights, balloons and candles. Children believe that it is Santa Claus
who brings gifts for them. Christmas is a festival of joy and peace.
How about you? What is your favourite festival in Malaysia? Tell me
about it.

That’s all for now. I’m looking forward for your reply. Take care.
Bye.
