Dear Ms. Van Antwerp,

Merry Christmas. I see your children are in town.

Here are some cookies I thought you might all enjoy.

Also enclosing an article I saw in this morning’s Times about the Christmas markets in Germany in the town where I was born.

When I was a child Christmas was a spectacle, but nothing like it is now.

No need to return the tin. I find they are useful for storage of things like buttons or bolts when the cookies are gone. In addition, I noticed you’ve changed your hair. It’s very elegant.

Your neighbor,

T. Lübeck
