Merry Christmas !

I'm s     40     I can't go back to be with you. I am busy with my lessons at school now. I will celebrate Christmas with my friends at a party this evening. Christmas is one of the most i    41       festivals in China, too.

In my eyes, Christmas is a family festival. At Christmas, people s    42     go out. We like to stay at home and enjoy a good family time. F     43     shops are open on that day. People close their shops b     44     they value(珍惜)the time with their family.

But here in China, things are d     45     . Christmas is a festival for young people. Young boys and girls buy p     46     for each other. They have a big d     47     in nice restaurants. And shops all have big sales(促销). It is a time for shops to make m    48     Of course, there are parties, too. But there are o    49     young people at these parties.

I will show you some photos of our party tomorrow.

Love you,
