 寄張聖誕卡片 A Christmas Card
|
Dear Uncle Frank and Aunt Jean, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I can't believe that it's already been a year since we celebrated the holidays together. The weather here has been freezing and we already have 40 centimeters of snow on the ground. We plan on snowshoeing out to the forest this afternoon to cut down a tree. Of course the kids can't wait to decorate it! I've been keeping busy in the kitchen baking traditional Christmas treats and volunteering at the local food bank. It's a busy time of year as donations of canned items come pouring in. This time of year always brings out the generosity in people. We will deliver boxes of food to families with low incomes around the area a few days before Christmas. We hope you are all well and that you have a peaceful and pleasant holiday. Perhaps next year we will be able to fly away from the cold temperature here and spend the holidays with you by the beach! With love, Jenny, Paul, and the kids
親愛的法蘭克叔叔和珍阿姨： 聖誕快樂及新年快樂！ 真不敢相信距離我們上次一起過節已經一年了。這邊的氣候超冷，積雪已經40公分深。我們打算今天下午穿上踏雪板，前往森林砍樹，孩子們當然迫不及待想要好好裝飾聖誕樹！ 我一直在廚房忙著烘烤傳統的聖誕點心，還到當地的食物銀行當志工。這是一年之中最忙碌的時候，因為會湧進各地捐贈的大量罐頭食品。這個時節總是能讓大家慷慨解囊響應活動，我們會在聖誕節前幾天，將裝箱的食物送往本區的低收入戶。希望你們一切都好，度過平和愉快的假期。或許明年我們能遠離這裡的低溫氣候，和你們一起在海灘享受美好的假期！ 愛你們的珍妮、保羅和孩子們 |
