Santa writing letter by candle light
[Address]
Dear [First name],
I’ve just popped out of the workshop for a little while to sit down and write to you. Nobody has noticed that I’ve sneaked away because they are all so busy. The elves are wrapping lots of presents for children all over the world, and Mrs Claus is with the reindeer and rubbing some cream onto Prancer’s nose because he bumped it on the ceiling when he was practising his flying manoeuvres. Don’t worry – it doesn’t hurt – but he does look a little bit silly!
Talking of presents, there’s a big pile of them in the workshop beside the Christmas tree, and I noticed some of the labels said [HomeTown]. That’s where you live, isn’t it? There are a few more presents to add to the pile before they get loaded onto the sleigh, and one of those is for you. There’s one for [Friends Name], too. I’m so happy you have a best friend. Please carry on being kind to each other, won’t you?
Your [Relative Name] told me what a special [Boy/Girl] you’ve been this year, and I think it’s wonderful that you [Achievement] at just [Age Range] old. I’m so proud of you! In fact, I’m so proud, that I’m going to try my very best to make sure you receive a [Present] this year, because I’ve heard that’s what you’d like the most. Oh! That reminds me… I must get back to the elves and let them know. I do hope I catch them in time!
Sending you a special sprinkling of stardust, and hoping your Christmas is full of fun and happiness,
[Santa Claus]
