Dear B1,
I hope that you get this message. I am sending it as an e-mail to Miss Leaman so that she can share it with you. I needed to be sure that you get this message as quickly as possible because I don’t want you to get too excited and spend too much money before you hear the bad news. Unfortunately, and I am very sad to have to tell you this, I have taken the decision to CANCEL Christmas this year. In this letter I will outline the reasons why I have taken this decision and I hope that with consideration you will agree with my actions.
Firstly, I have decided to cancel Christmas because children all around the world have begun to say that I am not real -how ridiculous! Who do they think makes all of the toys? (Of course I have a little help from a few thousand elves.) It is very upsetting to hear young, and I mean very young, children saying ‘There’s no such thing as Father Christmas.’ No longer do I get plates of mince pies and glasses of milk left out for me. No longer do the reindeers get little carrot treats at every house. If my work and my presents are not appreciated then why should I carry on doing the hardest job in the world! Maybe someone else would like to visit EVERY house in the world in just one night. Any volunteers?
Secondly, the children in some parts of the world are very greedy. They have lots and lots of toys and want more and more. Why can’t they be satisfied with what they have? Most of them have far more than the children in the very poorest parts of the globe. Children today are so greedy and selfish!
Finally, my main reason for cancelling Christmas is that people seem to have forgotten the true meaning of the celebration. They are concerned with presents, food and what is on the television – hardly the important things in life. Christmas has become a time where people only think about themselves. The true meaning of Christmas is to remember the birth of Jesus. However, it should also be a time to show your love and appreciation to the people who you care about. It is about giving to other people and feeling happy about it. I could go on and on but I think that I have made my point!
My decision is FINAL – unless you can convince me to think differently.
Enjoy December and spend what should be Christmas thinking about what I have said. I hope that it will make a different so that in 2008 we can have a ‘Merry Christmas’.
Yours sincerely
Father Christmas

Hi Miss Leaman!
Santa didn’t write that because he is too busy sorting things out for christmas! I beleive in him still because one year I even got a letter from him for the christmas list that I sent him and it (Santa’s letter to me!) even had his signature and rudolf’s hoofprint!
P.S. Oh! By the way, I’m comming to see the evening christmas play so I might even see some old mates(including you!!). Did you get a christmas card from someone (me!!!)?
BYE!!

He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his sack.
His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump,–a right jolly old elf–
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
is that what u look like dude?
