Dear friends,

The Winter season is finally approaching us! And with the Winter season comes lots of fun, meaningful holidays. One fun holiday that is coming up is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it is filled with giving thanks and delicious food! I wonder, friends, what is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Personally, I love freshly made mashed potatoes because they warm me up in these colder months. Please tell me about yours!

Your friend,

Matt

LETTERS TO MATT MANATEE

Dear Matt,

I have a little question. What are you going to be for Halloween this year? I am going to be Elliot with E.T.! Why did you decide on your costume? I like the movie! That’s why I chose my costume.

Dear Matt,

I am going to be Cleopatra because it is cool to think that she could speak nine different languages!

I am going to dress up as a rainbow skeleton with a creepy face. I wanted my costume because it was cool and creepy at the same time! It also has my favorite colors!
