Dear Grandparents,
I am not intending this to necessarily be a newsletter. The reason I am writing it is to wish you a very “Merry Christmas.” Of course I won’t get to be there for Christmas but you know where my heart and thoughts will be.
I don’t know how I will spend Christmas day but I have no doubts but what I will have something special to eat. There is also a chance that I might git the day off from our usual work.
I would sure hate for those at home to spoil their Christmas just because some of us like Ben and I can’t be there so be sure and have Christmas.
I hope everything is coming along alright back there.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Donald
