Dear Ali,
That gift basket was a wonderful surprise. I don't know HOW you knew I needed a pair of fuzzy socks, a candle, or an Advent calendar, but I did!
As I'm writing this, it's still Sunday the eighth. I opened all the doors up to today, and you know what I found? A mini sleigh ornament! It even has little reindeer and everything. I'm going to hang it on my tree.
By the time this reaches you, you'll probably have already played your match. But if it reaches you before...good luck, I guess. There's no point wishing you bad, even if Man. City are playing like Roma this season. (Sorry not sorry, hahaha.) The round of 16 needs at least one Brazilian keeper in it :)
Oh, and...thanks. I'm not good at saying that kind of affectionate stuff :/ I usually don't have to, it's not like I get to thank my teammates for favours and stuff. But you're a little easier because, unlike Bernardo in the club-mandated White Elephant gift swap, you're not a judgmental jerk.
I've got to finish this, my milk is almost ready for the hot chocolate bomb. Say hi to the others for me.
Seu amigo,
Edi
P.S.: I tried to write my letter to Mona in German as an extra-nice touch. If I accidentally call her any offensive (this is entirely from my bad experience in writing a congratulatory letter to Josko in Croatian and Josko sending the letter back to me with every unintentional swear and insult highlighted), PLEASE tell her I didn't mean to! She's so nice and friendly, and I think of her like a big sister to me. I'd love that so much if it were true--NO NO NO, LEVAE THAT BIT OUT!!!
P.P.S.: y'know what, keep it in. It's not like Mona's going to hit me over the head with a frying pan or anything.
P.P.P.S.: Yes, I watched Rapunzel. Yes, that was a Rapunzel joke in the second postscript. Yes, if you tell a single soul, I'll send you a signed Gremio jersey >:(
P.P.P.P.S.: if the grammar police (Milly) comes after me, i don't care
