Cute Christmas

Dear Emily

Let me introduce you to our latest arrival here in the North Pole ... Popcorn the Puppy. Isn’t he cute? But he’s trouble alright ... he’s been chasing the reindeer, eating all the candy canes and getting into such a tangle in the elves workshop amongst the ribbons and wrapping paper! But we wouldn’t change him for the world!

Now then, I’m sure you’re as excited about Christmas as Popcorn is, and you haven’t too long to wait.

I’ve been checking my list and sure enough I see you’ve been very well behaved this past year which is excellent for a girl of 8 years old. You’re certainly on course for receiving the gymnastics beam which you’ve been wishing for.

My Chief Elf Mistletoe is also very impressed with how well you have been doing recently... working hard at gymnastics, performing well at school and helping to look after guinea pigs. Well done Emily, keep up the good work! You make your Mummy and Daddy very proud!

Right now, I’m sitting at my desk with a tasty cup of Mrs Claus’s special hot chocolate trying to warm up after a day in the snow, exercising the reindeer and preparing the sleigh for the long journey ahead on Christmas Eve. And you live in Falkirk, don’t you? That’s a long, long trip from the North Pole. I sure hope you leave some milk and mince pies... I’ll be very hungry when I arrive at your home!

Well Santa’s work is never done, so I will say goodbye for now. Be sure to let your best friend Aimee know that I will soon be on my way.

Have a wonderful Christmas Emily.

Your good friend
