Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! How is it up in the north pole? How is Mrs. Claus? How is the weather up there? I think I've been a good girl. I'm not sure what I would like for Christmas. I think I would like a karaoke machine but I'm not sure if my brother could handle it. He hates singing but me and my friend Jovi like to do plays with singing. Last year we went caroling in my neighborhood. We hope you have a merry Christmas! Bye!Your friend,Aurelia
Dear Aurelia
Thank you for your nice letter. The North Pole is a little warmer this season, probably only about - 45 degrees outside. I believe I saw a Polar Bear Moon-bathing yesterday, since the sun doesn't really show up here for another few months. The Elves are very busy this time of year, as you might imagine, finishing up the last few thousand toys for Christmas Eve.
Mrs. Claus has been very busy also keeping everyone focused on our jobs, getting ready for Christmas. She regularly makes dozens of her famous Chocolate Chip Love cookies for the crew so everyone is still singing happily and making mounds of toys. It's all still quite magical to me.
The Elves asked for a Karaoke machine a few years ago. With their schedules they really only get to use it in January but they have so much fun with it the smiles last all year long. Occasionally we will set it up in the Workshop and let them come up one at a time and entertain the crew. It is great fun! Even Santa occasionally takes a turn, when I've had a little too much hot cocoa of course.
I think a Karaoke machine is a great idea, and I believe your brother might surprise you. When nobody's looking he sings, and pretty well, according to a certain Elf I know.
All my love,
Santa
