Dear Ann,

Greetings from the North Pole!

I hope you are doing well?  I am so happy to hear what a good girl you've been this year. You are already 7 !  It is hard to believe!

I am very busy again this year at the North pole, but I want to take a moment to write a letter personally to Ann, because you are such a special girl to me.

We're very excited about our Christmas Eve trip this year. I will be coming to Toronto on Christmas Eve with the reindeer. I should not be able to go to every house in Toronto. Since you are a special girl, I will visit your home to bring you nice presents like story books, colored pencils, dolls and all. and I hope you will really enjoy it. Don't forget to tell your mom to arrange some snacks for me and few carrots for the reindeer.

Goodbye for now. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

With Love.
Your friend,

Santa Claus  .

Prayer

"O Merciful God, protect us
Me, papa, and mama in this holiday fuss;
With Your strong arms be always near
To brothers and to sisters dear.
And all our loved ones in the land,
Protect them with Your own right hand.
From sin defend and keep me free;
Help me a Christ like child to be. Amen."
