Brianna!

Dear Diary, Good day. It is December 24th, 1579. I crave your forgiveness fore I haven't written in such a long while. I have been quite busy with my family and being a tutor for the local children in town. I have to teach them many subjects including Latin, Cosmography, Writing, and French. My husband, Edmond, is Lawyer and is away from the homestead often helping the citizens that choose to break the law. We have three children together now: Sara, Thomas, and Katherine. Edmond is home for the holidays and we ventured off to the play as a family today. It was held at afternoon time and was a Christmas play fore Christmas is tomorrow! For our night before Christmas meal, we're going to indulge ourselves with brawn, mince pies, plum porridge, and frumenty. We also got a bottle of our family's favorite drink, Perry. It's a swell drink made of pear and is slightly alcoholic. For dessert, we have the opportunity to have Christmas Pie! The sweet taste of tongue, eggs, sugar, lemon peel, and spices is just so delectable. When we rise tomorrow morning, we shall scurry off to morning mass at Church before opening gifts. Church is very important to us fore we are devout Christians. We are sometimes called Romanists by the Protestants but we just carry on with our business. I can not wait to see the children's faces tomorrow afternoon. They are going to to pleased. Sara is going to be thrilled with her new bodice and Shoes, Thomas will get a new game of Craps and dice for dicing and Katherine will receive a new poppet fore her other one is getting quite ancient. I thank thee for allowing me this great life I'm living and everything I have. It's getting quite dark now due to the sun being down, and it's quite hard to see and write now. -Farewell, Molly
