Dear <<first name>>,
Seasons Greetings to you and your family. I bet you cant believe that
Christmas is almost here again! It is not hard for the elves and Mrs.
Claus and I to believe it though, because we have been very, very busy! We
are almost ready for the big trip on Christmas Eve and a special stop at
<<street address>>.
Your <<person ordering>> told me what a good girl you've
been this year. I see you do an excellent job of <<chore>>. I'm
very happy to hear that and I'm very proud of you.
Lets see, according to my list, <<first & last name>>
would like a <<gift>> for Christmas. Ill see what I can do
about that. Ill make sure you get a special present along with the
presents I bring your<<siblings sex & name>>. Although we
all love to receive gifts, Christmas is a good time to remember that this
is the season for giving, too. It makes me feel good to give - that's one
of the reasons why I like what I do so much!
<<this was in the "name something memorable child did during
the year" section>>You had a big adventure this year when you
moved from Queens to Long Island, didn't you? Its very exciting when you
move to a new place and make new friends. How do you like your new school
so far? I bet you enjoy doing your cheerleading.
Do you play a lot with your<<pets, kind and name>>? I play
with the reindeer whenever I have some free time. They like me to throw a
ball and they race to bring it back to me. Donner hurt his foot about a
month ago when he was running for the ball. The doctor said he should be
okay for the Christmas Eve trip as long as he rests it till then.
Well, <<first name>>, I better go now and get back to work.
Tell your friend, <<friends name>>, I wrote to you and I will
be stopping at her house, too. Have a Merry Christmas.
Love,
Santa Claus
P.S. Don't forget to leave a little snack for Rudolph. He gets pretty
hungry guiding the sleigh.
