 INVISIBLE FRIEND.


 I did a letter to Alejandra, I did it with a red card and gave her a few sweets.  I did the letter in my painting classes. Try to write something nice that she would like, decorate the card to her style and find a photo.




Who made me a letter, was Carla. She did it with a blue giant cardboard, super nice cover, she put the text in a little blue slip and a glued on cardboard packet that could make the slip. 

I love to make the invisible friend in english, because I like to draw and color and it is a way to learn more English.

THE  ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS CARD 

The custom of sending Christmas messages began in English schools, where teachers asked students to write something that had to do with Christmas, and mailed to their home, before leaving for winter break.
