Dear Sarah and Samantha

Dear Sarah and Samantha, 


It’s been a while I know * since I happened by your house in the Christmas snow.

I used to drop off presents on wintry Christmas Eve, * scoff a sherry and mince pie then 
hurriedly we’d leave. * We wouldn’t want to get espied by chigglers such as you * and any 
way the night was long with lots of work to do. * How I miss those mince pies from you guys 
and gals, * and carrots for Old Rudolph and all his reindeer pals.

But children do get older and sometimes even doubt * Santa Claus’ existence. “There’s no 
such thing” they’ll shout; *  and in truth I do confess to you assistance I enlist * from miles 
and miles of mums and dads to purchase all your gifts. *

But all I wished to say to you now that you are grown * is I’d be glad to help you when 
you’ve chigglers of your own.

Feel free to write on their behalf, Sarah and Samantha. * I’m always here to give my help. 

Merry Christmas, 


Santa.
