Dear Friend,
I am writing to tell you about a movie I watch every Christmas season called – Elf. Oh how i enjoy this movie around the holidays because it is so funny, yet it teaches a lesson. I would highly recommend this movie, Will Farrell (Buddy) did a great job. What you can take away from Elf is the importance of family, and family does not necessarily mean you have to be related. Buddy leaves his North Pole family to go find his real family, and it was an interesting adventure doing so. While Buddy is learning to live in the real world, he runs into a lot of trouble. The movie is filled with laughter, and I would recommend watching with family and/or friends. Tell me how you to like it !

Dear Victor,
I just watched the movie Elf for like the fifth time and for some reason it made me think of you. Probably because the main character, Buddy, was very tall compared to all the elves and whenever you stand near me I feel like an elf. Will Farrell made an excellent choice. I have always found him funny and hilarious. So if you haven’t already watched it you should definitely get on that. -Your best friend Imani 🙂
