The Snowman

Dear Matthew

I am writing to let you know what a good 14 year old boy you have been this year.

Christmas is such a special time, a time for giving and for sharing and here in the North Pole we have been working very hard to make sure we are ready for Christmas Eve, when I visit all the little boys and girls in the world, bringing exciting gifts.

Mrs Claus and I have been checking with the elves and they tell us that you have been very kind to your friends and that makes Rudolph the red nosed reindeer very happy!

Eggnog Elf has reported back that you have had a very busy year ...

- working hard at school
- playing less Fornite!
- and fantastic ... helping out at home

Well done Matthew, keep up the good work! You make your Mum, Karen so proud.

As you would expect, my helpers have been very busy in the workshop making special gifts just for you. Since you have been so very good since last Christmas, my sleigh will be filled with surprises for you, your family and all your friends.

Mrs Claus tells me that you would like a Carrera Bike this Christmas. I’ll ask the elves to do their very best.

Not long from now, I’ll be leaving the North Pole for my long trip on Christmas Eve, to visit you and your best friend Joel in Maidstone. Even though it’s a very long journey, I am looking forward to visiting 18 Briarfields most of all.

Well Matthew, I have to go now as there is still an awful lot of work to be done.

Don’t forget to leave a tasty snack for Dancer on Christmas Eve. The reindeer always enjoy a treat or two on their long journey. I always enjoy the mince pie and glass of milk you kindly provide.

Now be sure to go to bed early and please remember, I will only stop by when you are fast asleep. The reindeer and I will try to be very quiet when we land on your rooftop.

Love from
