Hello, Christina! Merry Christmas!

Thank you very much for your letter and your list of wishes for this Christmas. I know you really want a new doll and dollhouse. I hope you have room in your house for all that!

I was so very pleased to see your name on my Nice List.

             I know you have worked especially hard on your school work, this year, and played soccer, last summer. Wow! Way to Go! I also know you have been a big help to mom and dad, this year. That’s very important. Mom and dad can always use a little bit of help. They work so hard.

I’m looking forward to seeing St. John’s, this year. St. John’s is lovely at Christmas with all the lights and Christmas trees. It is always one of the highlights of my trip. Rudolph tells me he’s looking forward to stopping there, as well.

             We have been working hard getting ready for Christmas. I’ve been checking my Nice List and practicing my Ho! Ho! Ho! The reindeer have been practicing their take offs and landings…We don’t want to end up sliding off any roofs, Ho Ho! The elves have been counting all the toys to make sure there is a toy for everyone. And Mrs. Claus has been making lots of soups and stews to keep us all warm so we can work.

             Thank you for the treats you left for me, last year. I was so hungry by the time I arrived at your house and really needed a snack. The glass of milk was great!

             Well, Christina, I must say good-bye. I have many other good boys and girls to write to. Take care of mom and dad, and make sure you’re in bed early, Christina. I know you will be surprised Christmas morning!

See you December 24^th, Christina!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
