The Snowman

Dear Samuel

I am writing to you to let you know what a good 5 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, delivering 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 so hard at school
- playing nicely with Evie
- and for being a superstar

Well done Samuel, keep up the good work! You make your Mummy and Daddy so proud!

As you would expect, Santa's 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 Lego sets 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 Lilly in Stoke on Trent. Even though it’s a very long journey, I am looking forward to visiting Shemilt Crescent most of all.

Well Samuel, 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 look forward to the milk and mince pie which 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
