Dear Mike,

We got your letter yesterday. Yes, we can visit you at Christmas. We thought to spend(度) Christmas at home, but now we are going to be with you. Jack will not be in school then.

The weather in Chicago is cold, but is doesn’t matter. Sometimes we like the snow.

We got our plane tickets. We will get to your city on the 18^th. We will stay with you for two weeks. Is that all right with you?

We’ll take our favourite recipes(食谱), so we can have a nice Christmas dinner.

See you soon.

Love

Mom and Dad
