前言:雖然我已經從奧克蘭來台灣暫時居留有近九個月了.我準備了聖誕禮物包括有些是濃濃台灣味的禮物一起寄過去.他們收到後.爸爸給我的回信:

Hi, Jerry... first of all we are really sorry for not sending an
email or Xmas card before..

We hope you had a very good Xmas, we are still on time to wish you a Happy new year 2008.

Thanks very much for all the presents you can be sure that all the kids and not only the kids (us too!)were jumping when they saw a parcel from TW. Santa also visited our house and brought loads of goodies.

Thanks very much again for the lovely photos they are absolutely great.

Hope to see you again soon. Kids are missing you and asking when you are back. Obviously they love you so much. As my wife told you. Once you left for TW, they felt bored.

You know, the last day you were going to the airport. I woke up early. Liam woke up early to say goodbye. But Tom did not. About 30 min. later, he found you were gone. And he started crying and saying” Where is Jerry going? Is he coming back soon?”

We are very happy for having such as an active, easy-going international student to live with us. You are always welcome to come back anytime. New Zealand is always your home!!

Your kiwi family

Jerry你好.第一件事情是我們對於沒有寄信或寄聖誕節卡片感到抱歉.我們希望你有個愉快的聖誕節.我們仍然非常準時的祝你2008年新年快樂.

謝謝你所有的禮物.確定的是小朋友其實包括我們兩夫妻看到從台灣寄來的包裹都高興的跳起來了.聖誕老人也來過我們家也給我們很多的東西.

再次謝謝你的可愛的照片.他們真的很棒

希望很快能再次看到你.小孩子都很想你而且在問說你什麼時候可以在回來?
顯然的小朋友都非常喜歡你.就像我老婆跟你說的.一但你回去台灣後他們感到無聊了.你知道嗎?最後一天時你去機場當天.我起的很早.Liam也起的很早要跟你說再見.但是Tom沒有早起.半小時後他發現你不見了.然後就開始哭了.然後一直說Jerry去那裡了?他很快就會回來了嗎?

我們非常開心有你這個活潑好相處的國際學生來跟我們一起居住.隨時都歡迎你回來.因為紐西蘭是你家!

**2007年聖誕節我收到來自外國友人近20多的祝福.我只選最溫馨的一篇來寫.其他的故事就來跟我吃吃飯.到時再說囉.I promise I will go back on day.我保證有一天我會回去的.而且可能性非常高!別忘了紐西蘭還有南島的冰河.我18歲去的是北島而已.我故意不去除了沒足夠時間外.還有一點是就因為還沒去所以還有去的動機在.祝大家新年快樂.我朋友不多.有你們就可以了!!
