A personal letter from Santa.

Fictional example; your wording is personalised and shown for approval. Alex and the personal details below are invented for this example.

Dear Alex,

My desk is rather busy this evening! There is a little hill of envelopes beside my cocoa, and Freddy Stripytights has just discovered that a rolling spool of ribbon is much faster than an elf in woolly slippers. We caught it before it reached the door, thankfully.

I know you're curious: are you on my nice list this year? Let's make it a bit of fun! Scratch the sticker on this letter to reveal the answer!

I hear you have been practising fastening your coat all by yourself, Alex. Those fiddly little buttons take patience, and you kept trying. Freddy needed that very same patience when he was working out how to stop his ribbon spool escaping!

It was lovely to hear that you helped a friend tidy away the drawing pencils, too. Small acts of kindness can make an ordinary afternoon feel rather special. I wonder what you will draw next: perhaps a reindeer with wonderfully wobbly antlers?

If you fancy a little Christmas idea, you could draw someone a cheerful picture. There is no need for it to be perfect; a picture made with kindness has a magic all its own.

Keep being curious, Alex. I shall be thinking of your patient practising as I tackle the next little hill of envelopes.

With a warm Christmas wish,
Santa Claus
