After nearly half a mouth, the Christmas letter finally was here in my hand. Yes, writing letters

is how my friend in the US and I exchange our greeting every Christmas. People ask why not send

our greetings on Facebook, or on Wechat 13_____, and by the way, it’ll save money. For me, writing

letters is more of a 14 _____ habit than a quirk(怪癖) in modem times. I, an experienced letter writer,

can tell you what writing letters bring me more emotional(情感的) communication.

seconds.

Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour

anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly to 20,000 feet they

usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more
