Dear Folks:
A few spare minutes from the busy hustle of things to write you a few lines. It is the 26th here but Christmas in the states so we celebrated today. To date this has been the least pleasant Christmas I’ve spent but I shouldn’t gripe – some had it much tougher. I wished I could explain just what happened and what I was doing on Christmas Eve. For dinner today we had plenty of turkey but not the usual trimmings. But it was a good dinner. I’ve been pretty busy lately and it’s been hard to write. Had four letters last night from you but they were old stuff and you hadn’t realized I’d moved yet. Have not received any more boxes as yet but I hear there is a pile at the APO, so maybe in a few days we’ll have them.
I hope you all had a nice time but that next (year) Dick and myself can be there with you, and I’m betting one of us will make it. I’ll write again soon.
Love,
