Hi [Pen-Pal's Name],

I wanted to tell you about Easter, a holiday we celebrate with much enthusiasm. On Easter, we paint eggs in beautiful colors and patterns. It's a tradition that symbolizes new life and rebirth. Families often have fun together by organizing egg hunts where children search for hidden eggs. Additionally, we enjoy a special meal, often featuring lamb or ham, and various traditional sweets. It's a joyful time spent with loved ones, celebrating renewal and togetherness.

Best,

[Your Name]
