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

Mrs. Claus and I have been checking with the elves, and they tell us that you have been trying to be very good this year and have been kind to all your friends and that makes Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer very happy! Santa’s helpers have been very busy in the workshop making a special gift just for you. And since you have been so nice since last Christmas, Santa’s sleigh will be filled with surprises for you and all your family.

I must go now and get ready for my big trip around the world. Be sure to go to bed early today, because I only stop by when boys and girls are fast asleep in their beds. The reindeer and I will try to be very quiet when we land on your roof, and if you can, please leave us a little treat by the Christmas tree. Ho Ho Ho…

Merry Christmas, love,
Santa
