Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Let's
all try and see which one can write the
best letter about Christmas, as I think
it is the greatest birthday Of all and it
should be celebrated in right way. So
think all the work should be closed that
day and all the people should visit their
friends and relatives and have their
mas tree and fill it with nice presents
for their friends and have a Santa Claus
to hand out their presents and everyone
enjoy and celebrate Christmas in at
tractive way.
Well, as / am a new cousin I had bet
ter not stay long. I wrote once before but
failed to see it in print. Guess Mr.. W.
Basket got it. My age is seventeen years.
