Blackpool, Lancashire

Hi Santa, my name is Clara Oswold, and I'm 10 years old.

For christmas I would love to have:

A red dress

A new pencil (I lost my last one)

A new school bag (I lost that too)

And pretty please can you magically get me my mojo back, I think I might of lost that too. :-(

Also Santa:

I lost my granny. Do you think she's in heaven? I don't believe in destiny.. But if you are a clever man, remember me! Make sure to come down my chimney. I will remember to leave out a soufflé for you. I'll have to count my stars that this Christmas will be extra special.

Sunday school was fun today! We got taught by the nice teacher lady! She's nice.

Yesterday I got lost, I was really scared, but mummy found me, this christmas I hope you don't get lost trying to find my house, it's very scary being lost you know!

P.S. Are you really magic?

Lots of Love Clara Oswald xx

Dear Clara Oswold ,

The Missus and I were wondering if we were going to hear from you this year. I've received letters from just about everyone else in Blackpool .

Well, I'm getting ready for the big trip and Mrs. Claus has just finished knitting me a new scarf. I never know what to expect... Snow in Australia...sunburn in Finland...and a little bit of everything in Blackpool !

I'll ask the elves if they can pack the Red dress you requested. Since you've been a pretty good smart alec, of 10 years, I want to make sure that you are treated appropriately. And if you are really good from now until Christmas, I might even bring the New pencil you asked for! I'm sure you can get your mojo back! with all this christmas spirit and magic in the air! I hope I won't get lost locating your chimney, I hope you have one or I'll have to squeeze through a window, and that's always a lot of work, I sometimes need Rudolph to give me a shove.

Anyway, I better get going as I only have 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, and assuming I travel east to west this year. Besides, I need to clean up the mess that Rudolph has left! He's been drooling on the carpet for days thinking about all the cookies, carrots, egg nog and other goodies that the good boys and girls leave for us.

P.S. Good thing I love Soufflé

Lots of Christmas Love

Santa Claus
