Dear Steven Atanov,

Ho Ho Ho from the North Pole! I hope you

are having as much winter-time fun at
your house as we are up here at the North
Pole. We have been building snowmen, going
sledding, and sitting by the fire eating lots
of Mrs. Claus' yummy Christmas goodies.
Of course, we have also been working very
hard making sure all the presents are ready
to deliver! The elves have also been busy
painting the sleigh and polishing the sleigh
bells. And the reindeer have been exercising
every day to get ready for our long trip.
And speaking of our long trip, it won't be
long before I come to your house. I hope
that you will be very happy with the
special present I am bringing you!
Well, Rudolph and Dasher are peeking in
the window at me! I think they are waiting
for a little snack, so I had best go find
some carrots for them to nibble on!
Love,
Santa Claus
