Colourful email

Hello!
How are you? Thank you for your last email!
My sister and I love Christmas! We wear Christmas hats and sing carols. We decorate the house with lights, but we don't visit Santa.
My parents, my sister and I prepare the Christmas food. First, we open the Christmas crackers. Then, we eat roast turkey with vegetables. Also, we eat Christmas pudding. It's delicious! Finally, we open the Christmas presents.
Bye!
