"I use to have dinner out frequently". In the present case can be translated into:
Eu frequentemente janto fora/eu costumeiramente janto fora/eu costumo jantar fora etc...

   Are you going to invite us? ; )
   Merry Xmas, and send us a pannetone.

   It may be one simple, just with the lemon zest, raisins, plain or with chocolate; well, we aren´t going to be unhappy if you send some Asti Spumante or even one Chuva de Prata (Silver Rain?).    He he, kidding around, you presence over the year is enough, hugs.

   By the way, it is a moment to think about a world with happy kids all over the world, it´s a bit of utopia, but I hope the world turn safer next year.  I can´t do much in this direction, or can I?  but I sincerely hope the rulers abroad and in our country be more sensible and abandon much of their shallow rhetoric discourses and settle for action.

   First of all, giving peace a chance... but this is a subject to other threads to come.

   Merry Xmas.
