Author's note: A Christmas drabble, written for Starrika in the Narnia Christmas Card Exchange.
Come winter, Lucy wonders about Father Christmas. "Do you think he'll bring gifts this year?"
She and Edmund talk wistfully of tree trimming, and plum pudding. Peter and Susan overhear mention of toys, and are reminded how young their brother and sister still are, despite having ruled Narnia for a year.
Peter, recalling last year's Gifts, hopes they won't be disappointed. But Susan remembers - before - back there - home - the family ritual of writing to Father Christmas.
So one night over cocoa, they all write letters and feed them to the fire, then watch as the ashes carry their wishes away.
