Dear Xijing:

How are you?
Today is the last Thurday of November, and also the American Thanksgiving Holiday. 
The university has a day off, so I got the time to write to you. Thanksgiving is a 
holiday for family reunion. I am far away from home by myself, so many a students 
of mine invite me to spend the holiday with their families. I accept the invitation 
of Ding, an American student of mine, and will go to her house to celebrate the holiday 
together with her family. This is my first time to be a guest at an American home, 
and participate in an American holiday party; at the same time, it is also the family’s 
first time to entertain a Chinese guest; I think it will be very interesting.

The tenth day of next month is Kaikai’s fifth birthday. I am not home, and would like 
it very much that you plan him a pleasant birthday. Please tell him that Daddy loves 
him, and misses him; and tell him that Daddy wishes him happy, healthy, and a joyous 
birthday. December tenth I will call home. Talk to you then.

Best wishes.
