Dear <<FirstName>>,
Ho, Ho, Ho and Merry Christmas! Things are very busy here at the North
Pole, but when <<SendersName>> told me what a good <<Girl_or_Boy>>
you have been this year and that you are so good at
<<chores>>, I just had to take a minute to write to you.
That's pretty terrific for a <<age>>-year-old <<Girl_or_Boy>>!
I'm very proud of you and want you to keep up the good work!
I know you are excited about the presents I'm going to bring you when
we land on your roof at <<Address>>. I bet you will like them
as much as <<Favorite_Toy_Activity>>! Let's see, according to
my list, <<FirstName>> <<LastName>> would like to
have a <<SantasGift>>. I'll have to make sure my elves make
plenty of room on my sleigh for that and <<Siblings_Names>>
gifts.
How is <<Pet_Name>>? You take very good care of your pet,
okay? He loves you very much and likes playing with you, too. When I'm not
getting ready for Christmas, I like to play with Rudolph. He's not quite
the same as a <<Type_of_Pet>>, but he's my friend. I hope you
like going to <<School_Name>>. Isn't that a fun place to go?
Well, <<FirstName>>, I should say Good-bye for now because
I must write a few more letters and then go wax my sleigh so it'll be nice
and shiney on Christmas Eve. Please say hi to <<Friends_Names>>
for me!
Love,
[Santa's signature in a script font]
Santa
P.S. Don't forget to look in your stocking for <<stocking
gift>>! Oh, and please have <<Pet_Name>> leave some
cookies for Rudolph!
