Dear G,

We have been pen pals for so long that I am running out of interesting stamps to attach on my mail. I always try to find unique and special stamps for you ever since you told me that you collect them. Did you know the name for collecting stamps? It’s called Philately. 

Anyway, when I went into the post office to find a cool stamp today, guess what I found! An entire collection of stamps about festivals of the world.

I am not sure what you celebrate at the Arctic region but in the USA, there are several cultures and festivals to celebrate like Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Navarathri, Easter etc. Regardless of the religion, all festivals are meant to bring family and friends together, share food, laughter and spend time. 

In our family, we bake a lot especially around Thanksgiving and my son enjoys helping make the desserts. He enjoys eating them even more ha ha ha! When we share with friends, it always makes me feel nice to see them enjoy my creations. 

So when you see my letter keep an eye on the stamp next time! I will give you a little more information about that particular festival. I hope you are celebrating something with your family and friends. Eat an extra banana or two, stay warm and write to me about how you celebrate!

Love,

V
