A/N: I didn't put any age for Splinter, because I didn't know what age to put down. But these letters follow the same time line as the one before.

Master Splinter

Dear Master Nicholas,

I'm sure you have been asked this by at least one of my sons, but do you deliver to mutant children? My youngest son, Michelangelo, would be overjoyed if you come to our lair. He doesn't expect much in the way of presents, but hopes that you would spare some time to at least have the snack he will leave out for you.

As for my other sons, do not expect much welcoming from Donatello. He is very smart and he will find it hard to believe in things that have no real logic to them. Raphael fears his youngest brother will eat you if you are made with food. And Leonardo would want to learn your method of sneaking about.

Other than that, I have no other concerns.
Master Splinter

P.S. I know this goes without saying, but I hope you'll keep our home a secret.


Dear Master Splinter,

Master? I am honored to be called Master, but I fail to see how I earned such a esteem title.

Anyway, of course Ideliver to mutant children. I deliver to all children around the world. And I know that you son, though very young, is quite a cook. So I would be delighted to eat whatever he leaves out for me. (I do hope it's cookies though.)

As for your other sons, there is nothing to worry about. In time I'm sure Donnie will understand me, Raphie will learn I'm not made of food, and Leo will find out I'm still learn how to move stealthily.

No worry, I'll be by,
Santa

P.S. I have many beings on my list that are in hiding and I have yet to reveal where they are. So you have nothing to fear.


Dear Master Nicholas,

Please, I begging you, no more little toy sets. No army men, no puzzles, no blocks or legos. Sure they keep my sons busy for a while, but not long enough be worth the trouble of having to avoid stepping on them at night in the dark or having to constantly pick them up.

And no matter how much Donatello begs, please do not bring any refills for his chemistry set. When it is not stinking up the place, it's leaving stains in the carpet.

As for Raphael's racecar, could you replace it with one that does not have so many pieces within it? When Michelangelo broke the last one, I was picking up parts for days at least. In fact, I think I'm still stepping on a few.

Oh, and no weapons for Leonardo. I know he'll ask for some from you, but I would prefer that I be the one to present with such items.

I'm sorry that I have to put such restrictions on what my sons can or cannot have, but I feel that I must. It makes me feel like such a bad guy that I have to say such things to a man of your stature.

Feeling a tad regretful,
Master Splinter


Dear Master Splinter,

A man of my stature? Sir, you sure do like to make my head swell. Mrs. Clause says that if I get any more comments like this from you, my ego will take all the room in the sleigh.

But to get on with your current request. Of course I will no longer bring toy with so many pieces until given further notice. I guess I should add to the list anything that makes too much noise. Last time I spied you, you looked quite frazzled. (Sorry for the siren.)

As for Donatello, he is not interested in getting any more chemistry ingredients. He actually wants books. Think that this year I'll have to disappoint him and bring him some toys that he'll like.

With Raphael's racecar, I've managed to come up with one that will prove hard to break. So unless a sledgehammer is taken to it, it should be able to stay in one piece for a very long time.

And Leonardo will be getting no weapons from me. I can promise you that, because I'm starting to put my foot down on such things.

That's all kids ask for these days. Guns, guns, guns. It's enough to make an old man want to quit is day job. I don't mind the occasional nerf gun or a squirt gun, but they want ones that are so life like it's scary.

But now I'm going off on a rant and I apologize for that.

Happy to Oblige,
Santa


Dear Master Nicholas,

I feel for my sons, as they grow older and wiser. Because of what they are, or rather who they are, they are very confused.

I want to apology for any letters that might offend you in some way, because they are at the age wherethey think it is no longer appropriate to believe in you.

I have try many times, in countless ways, to explain your existence, but I am not sure if my lesson will stick. And if they don't how can I enforce them so that they will?

Perhaps this is a matter I should leave up to you. Can you bring comfort to them, ease their minds, quash their worries?

Looking to Ease Troubled Minds,
Master Splinter


Dear Master Splinter,

I get many letters from children who tell me that I'm not real or that they will never believe in me again. It does pain me to read them, but they never offend me unless they are meant to.

Now you can impress upon your sons many lessons, give many lectures as to my true existence, but it is ultimately up to them to determine what they wish to believe.

I due appreciate what you try to do to keep their beliefs in me alive and I'll try my best in words that might help them.

Here to Soothe Troubled Minds,
Santa


Dear Master Claus,

I write late, because I know that all my sons will write to you telling of our most painful event and I wanted those to reach first.

I don't know what they write. Possibly they write for comfort, maybe they ask for hope, or perhaps they write because they want things to be normal again.

All I know is that they write to you because they still believe. And though I have never lost doubt on your existence, I really don't know what more I could write.

I don't know what I want, or what I need, or what I hope for.

Perhaps I am writing, because I need something too.

Confused,
Master Splinter


Dear Master Splinter,

Yes, I have received letters from all your sons and you are right. They are asking for hope, for comfort, for normality.

In reply, I have told them that they get that all from just being together. Thought such tragedy has befallen everyone, you are all still together for each other.

As for anything you want and hope, what more do you need? Your family is together, you've gain to more members who were in need ofa family, and your bonds as a family have strengthen tenfold.

Seeing and know this makes me want to do the best that I can in my job to bring joy to those who can't have what you have.

Thanks for Inspiration,
Santa


A/N2: Well, that's the last of them. I really wanted to do April and Casey, but time is running out and I couldn't quite get them just right. Maybe I'll get them next year.

Thanks for reading and for all the review.

To whatever you celebrate, may it be a good and happy one. ;)
