Dear Mom

I am sorry I acted so bad! I guess it
is kind of depressing but I wish you wouldn’t
judge my feelings on guesses, and insist even
when I say it isn’t true that your prediction is
right. X-Mas is kind of depressing this year. I
mean (I don’t want to sound stupid) but I was
always used to getting exactly what I wanted
but this year I didn’t. I know that that isn’t
the real meaning of X-Mas but I
guess it is a symbol.

I♥U!
4-EVER

Love Kate
