Dear Miss N,
Thank you for your boat-shaped letter that you sent me, what beautiful handwriting you have!
I so look forward to Christmas all year-long because I love visiting little children all over the world and bringing them gifts. Ho, ho ho yes sometimes my beard does freeze! And I’m really looking forward to seeing you soon, make sure your daddy has let the fire go out though!
We’ve all been very busy here at the North Pole. Some elves have been tuning up my sleigh all the toys in the toy workshop. I really can’t choose a favourite elf they are all my best friends! Oh and I can’t tell you anything about the good and bad lists, top secret you see!
Don’t worry that you don’t know what you want for Christmas yet, I have a few ideas and I’m sure they’ll do their best to build you something that you’ll really love.
Well, I have to go check on the reindeer and see if they’re getting in shape for the big night. Rudolph said to tell you hello. He’s been working out with all the other reindeer, and he’s very excited we’ll be visiting you and Miss A in WB. Don’t forget leave out some food for the reindeer. They work up a huge appetite flying all around the world.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Santa
P.S. I have left some of the extra sleigh bells we use on the sleigh, make sure you listen out for them on Christmas Eve!

Thank you for reading
Aah that’s lovely and the heart in the bottom picture is beautiful! My three did letters to Father Christmas but silly mummy forgot to put our address on AGAIN! so we didn’t get a reply!
Awh 🙁 You’d think Father Christmas could have figured it out though!
The heart of sleigh bells is lovely, it makes a really lovely sound!
Aww that is so lovely x
So glad he replied – where does he find the time? – and what a lovely letter too. I shall be listening out for sleigh bells on Christmas Eve too. I did hear them one year, and one year we all saw the lights on the sleigh in the sky, just over our heads as we were driving home late – very exciting!
