Translation, please, of this Christmas card
Would someone please translate this Christmas card? It is from a collection of mementos belonging to my elderly neighbor whom I am trying to help research her family history. Many thanks in advance!

From Hamburg 8 Dec 59
Dear brother and family,
We have received your Christmas letter and present 41,45 N. We were very pleased. We thank you dear ones heartily. We hope that Ellÿ has overcome his homesickness. For him the time is soon [can't read]. Yes, Maria has all manner of things. But I can't be with her in the winter. I wish and hope that you are all well [healthy]. We wish you old folks a merry Christmas and a blessed new year, also Emil. Sister Dora
Dear Brother-in-law, Wish you a merry Christmas and new year. Your brother-in-law Adolf
Note - I'm not sure what the 41.45 N means.

It is 41,45 M = Mark, i.e. money. In 1959 it was the equivalent of 10$.
