Dear Romilda,
I wonder who these two could be! It did remind me of a certain couple. Happy Christmas.

Andrei,
I can’t decide if you’re a beast or a sweetheart. Since I think the picture is hilarious, I’m going to go with sweetheart. Can’t wait to show my “bunny rabbit”.
A very happy Christmas to you and the rest of the Capper clan.
Yours,
Romilda

Dear Heidi,
You are a brilliant friend and you should never change. Even though sometimes you are very mean to me. Just kidding. Happy Christmas!

Andrei,
I’m not mean! Am I? If I tease you it’s only because you’re a mate.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the pressie!

Dear Tamara,
Happy Christmas! I hope you like your gift. I think they look nice but probably best not to hang them where Adelaide can reach.
