Dear Mike, 
     Greetings from Los Angeles! Thank you for your postcard. Yes, your mother and I can visit you
at Christmas. We thought (原想) to stay at home on Christmas Day, but now we are going to stay
with you. And Jack isn't going to school then.
    The weather in Los Angeles is cold, but it doesn't matter. Sometimes we like the snow.
     We are going to buy plane tickets tomorrow because your mother wants to take a plane and she
thinks it is fast (快的). We will (将) get to your city on December 18th. Our plan is to stay with you
for two weeks. Is that all right with you?
      We are going to take our favourite recipes (食谱), so we can have a nice Christmas dinner on
Christmas Day.
       See you soon.
                                                                                                                                       Love
                                                                                                                                        Dad
