Santa in the house delivering
[Address]
Dear [First name],
My, what a busy few weeks it has been preparing everything for Christmas. The elves have been spending long days in my workshop making toys, Mrs Claus has been helping them with the wrapping, and I have been reading all of the wonderful Christmas letters I’ve received. I’m now writing my replies so the elves can help me deliver them all on Christmas Eve. I honestly don’t know what I would do without all of the help I get from the team here at the North Pole.
I heard from your [Relative Name] that you have been a very good [Boy/Girl] this year. They wanted me to tell you how proud they were that you [Achievement]. It is clear that you are a very talented [Age Range] old and that you belong on my nice list this year. This means that there is a good chance that you will get [Present] you have been asking for, so please continue to be good throughout the year.
That reminds me, would you be able to tell [Friends Name] that I received their Christmas list and that I will do my best to deliver what I can? I know you are the best of friends. I hope you have some fun plans for the Christmas holidays. It must be such a treat to have a break from school!
I’m looking forward to a well-earned rest myself come December 25th. Mrs Claus cooks a delicious Christmas dinner for us all every year. The reindeer are always so hungry after their long and tiring flight on Christmas Eve! Speaking of food, I would certainly appreciate it if you left out a mince pie when I stop at your house in [HomeTown]. Those snacks help keep me going as we deliver the large number of gifts.
I had better get going; this pile of replies won’t write themselves. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
[Santa Claus]
