Hi Wendy,

How is everything going? I hope you and your family are well. I heard that you had a nice Christmas, unfortunately, my Christmas was awful. I thought that my marks from high school were not bad, but when I arrived home... my parents were dissapointed and so furious. They shouted at me a lot and then they told me that I won't get christmas presents. The next day, they had a serious conversation with me about my studies and they forgave me.

On Christmas Eve, I was so excited to see all my family, especially my aunt because I hadn't seen her for ages, but that evening, my father told me that she couldn't come here because of her job. I cried for hours. The Christmas dinner wasn't the same without some family.

Here, we don't celebrate Boxing day like you, so I only studied.

Over the next few days I was a little nervous because I didn't have a dress for New Year's Day, but finally, with a miracle, I found one.

On New Year's Eve, I went shopping with my mother for our celebration that night, and the rest of the day, I helped her to cook the dinner.
After eating the grapes, I went out with my friends. Everything was good until I saw my boyfriend kissing another girl... I was so angry and I shouted at him a lot, but finally I decided to wait until the next day to talk with him and end our relationship. I spent the rest of the night dancing with my friends.

They weren't good holidays but I learnt some important things.

See you soon

Adriana
