North Pole

Dear <Childs name>,

Christmas Eve is almost here <Childs name>, and we are all very busy in my workshop at the North Pole. Just this afternoon, I spent hours helping Mrs. Claus bake Christmas cookies (they were very delicious!). Once my belly was full, I mean, once we were sure they were all okay, I sat down with Rudolph to plan our trip around the world. I was checking my list (and I checked it twice don't worry) and saw your name on the good girls and boys list.

Because you've been so good, I'm really looking forward to stoping at your house to leave you a special surprise under your Christmas tree. So keep up the good work by going to bed nice and early on Christmas Eve. Oh, and please remember to leave out some milk, cookies and carrots for the reindeer and me (you know how much I love cookies and milk). Make sure that your parents don't leave the fireplace on! I don't want to get burnt when I come through the chimney.

I've got to run now! It sounds like something is going wrong in my workshop; you never can leave those elves alone for more than five minuets! Remember, I'll be watching you so be good so your house can be at the top of the nice list next Christmas!

Love,

Santa Claus
