Dear godmother:
Annelides
It’s nice to have the opportunity of greeting you. My family and I wish you well- being and success in this new year!
This letter is to say thank you for everything that you have done for me, helping me every year to be able to finish my studies; godmother I want to tell you that this year I was very good at school because I am a good student and most of my notes were very good.
I am very happy because I have only one year to finish my school and I will be ready to achieve my dream of being a nurse.
Godmother I would like to see you in my graduation of 11th grade to say thank you for all your help because thanks to you I could finish my studies satisfactorily.
In my personal life I tell you that this year has been a very difficult year for my family economically but thanks to God is always there and never let us alone.
We are in the month of the peace and the harmony, one month in which we met in family to celebrate the birth of the child God but also say bye to this year and to receive the new one of peace and prosperity.
This is a very special month because everybody in the house has the Christmas tree and we use to pray the Ninth for child God from 16 December to 24 December and finally that day we open a gift.
The Typical food of this month is natilla, buns, tamales, sweet of bargains, chicken or stuffed turkey.
I wish you holidays full of peace and happiness and that the New Year brings you prosperity for you and your family.
