Dear Julia,

I am writing to you to let you know how much of a good girl I think you have been this year. Christmas is such a special time, a time for giving and for sharing. Here in Lapland we have been working very hard to make sure we are ready for Christmas Eve, when I have to visit all the little boys and girls in the World bringing presents and gifts.
Mrs Claus and I have been checking with the elves and they tell us that you have been a very good girl this year. We know that you have been kind to your friends and that makes Rudolph the red nosed reindeer very happy! During the year you have:

- Learnt to Swim
- Excelled in your schoolwork
- Joined Cubs and earned 3 badges

As you would expect, Santa's helpers have been very busy in the work shop 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 and all your family. My Elves tell me that these are some of the gifts you would like:

- Sing Star for PS2
- Gameboy
- Some DVDs

Not long from now, I'll be leaving the North Pole for my long trip on Christmas Eve, to visit you in East Wigney. Even though it's a very long journey, I am looking forward to visiting Reindeer Road most of all!

Well Julia, I have to go now, as I need to get ready for my big trip around the world. Be sure to go to bed early on Christmas Eve and remember in your prayers all the boys and girls in the world who are not as fortunate as you. Please remember, I will only stop by when you are fast a sleep. The reindeer and I will try to be very quiet when we land on your roof.

Merry Christmas,

P.S. Remember to leave out some Carrots for Rudolph
and the other reindeer, and a glass of milk for me!
