Dear Marina,
in my house we start celebrating Christmas on the 24th, we exchange gifts on that night after church and think of our loved ones. I wanted you to know, that my thoughts are with you tonight as well.
I did make you some cozy suzuka socks to keep your feet warm, but since you prefer no gifts at all I will keep them to warm my own feet or maybe the feet of guests.
However I did get something else for you to make you feel my love: I've donated to animal charity. It’s not very much, but know that without your influence that’s something I wouldn’t have done, as I donate to other charities throughout the year, since my kids have been involved in projects. So I hope that this makes you happy and warms your heart! Thank you so much for the wonderful memories you gave me this year, my heart is still filled with the wonderful experience of meeting you and I’m hoping next year we’ll meet again in Bonn.
So Merry Christmas, may you be surrounded by people you love and may God bless you.
All my love,
Astrid
