Merry Christmas Everyone!
I'm missing you guys like crazy! I wish I could be there with you, but it wasn't possible this year. I did get your care packages. Bella, your cookies are out of this world and a hit with all the guys. I can't wait till I can be there personally to lick the chocolate-y goodness off your lips. The books have given me a much more enjoyable way to spend my spare time. Tell Renesmee and Masen that I got their beautiful drawings and they are hanging next to my bunk. Speaking of decorations Alice, the mini Christmas lights and tinsel are a little over the top, but they did go a long way in lifting spirits around here. Mom and Dad, I miss you guys and thank you for the practical items you included in the package, gum, candy, shampoo, razors, lip balm, wipes and undies. The sunglasses are awesome, and Emmett and Jasper were thrilled that you thought to include a pair for them too. We are all doing well. Hopefully it's a quiet Christmas. We hear the Christmas meal is supposed to be a good one this year. I hope you like the picture. Jasper took it with his camera and thought it was perfect to include on our cards. It reminds me that although we are apart, wherever we are on this Earth, we are looking at the same sun, the same moon, the same stars. I love you with all my heart and can't wait till we see each other again.
Carry on, dear loved ones, it's Christmas Day, all secure.
Merry Christmas, Semper Fi and goodnight.
Love, Edward
