Dear Jack:
Thanks for sending me the snow globe of the monster.I love it. In fact I think It's probably my favorite.I've been collecting snow globes for seven years,and now I have 226 of them.My mom says I have to stop,because we've run out of room to store them.They'ra sll around our apartment,I even store them in boxes under my bed.The first one I ever got was a birthday cake snow golbe on my seventh birthday.I particularly love globes with animals.I have a big one with bears in it and another one with penguins.If you know anyone who collects them,please tell me.I'd like to start a snow globe collectors' club.By the way,what's your hobby?
