Dear friends,

Christmas is coming! Be ready to me!

I’ve already visited the children in England, Scotland and Wales. Children have already decorated Christmas tree and hang their stockings. I have already brought them my Christmas presents. They gave me their Christmas cards. We have already sung merry songs and danced a lot. I’ve already tried their Christmas traditions.

What did you cook for me? What are your Russian dishes? May be salads, Christmas pies, pelmeni and fruit? I love them very much!

Wait for me and I’ll come anyway! My best wishes to you and your dearest and nearest.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleighJingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleighOver the fields we go, laughing all the way;Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits brightWhat fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleighJingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
