Dear Lan,

Thank you very much for your letter of September 5^th. I am glad to know that you are in good health, as I am, too.

It was very interesting to read about the celebrations of September 1^st in Vietnam.

We have some interesting holidays in England. The first is New Year’s Day, on the 1^st of January, when we send good wishes to all our friends for a Happy New Year.

But children like Christmas Day most of all. It is on December 25^th. We get presents from our parents and friends on that day. We decorate the Christmas Tree with lights and toys and we sing Christmas songs. The day after Christmas Day is also a holiday. For Christmas we also send Christmas cards to our friends to wish them a Merry Christmas.

On a Sunday in the middle of March, we have Mothering Day. This is a holiday for all mothers. They do not work at home on that day, and their children bring them flowers and presents.

Well, I have told you some of our English holidays. Soon it will be Christmas and then New Year. So I send my letter now and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours truly,

Helen
