Merry Christmas!

Ho ho ho William,

Greetings from Santa Claus at the North Pole

     At this time of year I love to write to all the nice people around the world (especially those in New Port Richey – wow, right near Orlando – do you go to Disneyland much?). You've been so good this year that I decided to write to you FIRST.

     Let me tell you, we're hard at work. The elves are oh so dedicated – and boy do they enjoy what they do! Elf Leroy wanted me to ask you how Birdie Little was doing.

     Your aunt, Laureen, wanted me to remind you to eat your broccoli! Try adding a dash of pepper.

What about
presents? I sure will try to get you what you want. Of course, the best gift of all is the love of your family and friends. Please keep being nice to them.

     William, this is going to be the best Christmas ever! I’m so excited, aren’t you? I am really into the Christmas spirit. Why, I was even "singing" Christmas carols last night.

     Please leave some cookies  out on Christmas eve! As for milk, uh... Mrs. Claus says it probably ought to be low fat milk (could you add a sprinkle or two of cocoa and cinnamon?).

     Brrr… it’s cold. It's right around 0 degrees Fahrenheit (about -18 Celsius). There’s a lot of beautiful, glittery white snow about. The elves and reindeer are playing in it as I write this.

     Well, I have to get back to work! A lot of toys have yet to be made.

Ho ho ho, William!! Merry Christmas! I wish you a happy new year!

Love,

Santa Claus  Welcome to Letters From Santa!

 

P.S. William, Mrs. Claus sends her love. She’s busy sewing my BIG
red suit (I tore it while walking atop a home in New Port Richey, last Christmas!). She and the elves wish you a merry Christmas and a very happy new year! Bye for now.
