Chapter Two: Santa's reply

The peculiar group awoke the next day, snow continuously falling and neighbors busily shoving the snow of the sidewalk. It appeared that Santa had already left and probably found out some sort of way to finish his duty. Legolas was the first to run down and, much to his relief, five presents and four letters lay under the Christmas tree. WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Boromir yelled. He jumped and snatched the letter for him. It read:

Dear Boromir,

You asked for the ring, right? As you can see, your explosive cookies and milk have not erupted as of now. Clearly this means that you will receive what you have asked for.

Yours,

Santa

Boromir squealed loudly and grabbed the tiny package addressed to him. Legolas smirked at him. "I bet it's a lump of coal." He muttered. But, a letter too was waiting for him. He opened it.

Dear Legolas,

I don't want your picture but thanks for the offer. Anyway, what you asked for is in front of you and I do hope you will like it.

Yours,

Santa

Legolas turned to look at the present and gulped. What could it be?

Frodo too, had a letter but wanted to open it later. (Hey, his letter will be revealed in the next chapter) Gandalf alone did not receive a letter but tore his present open immediately.

Aaaah! Gandalf screamed excitedly, clutching a teddy bear in his arms. "Oh!" He said. "Just what I wanted!" He started to suck the teddy bear's head. Suddenly, he screamed in horror and pain, dropping the teddy bear. AUGGHHHH!! He said, holding up the separated head of his brand new teddy bear. "NOOOOO! Don't die on me! Come on! CPR! One...Two...Three...Breathe!"

The rest of them watched, puzzled and disgusted as Gandalf performed the morning breath CPR. The teddy bear could have suffered severe lung injuries if it was truly alive.

Still, there were questions unanswered: What did Boromir, Legolas and Frodo, and Sam get?
