Summary: Pretend for a moment that in the world of Harry Potter, Father Christmas is real. Here are letters some of the wizarding world might write to the jolly old elf.

Dear Sir:

I am writing you in protest over your horrifying use of slave labor in the manufacturing of your gifts for innocent children. How can you live with yourself? You are holding elves in bondage in the middle of a barren, icy wasteland, condemning them to work without ceasing, without pay, without sick leave, without benefits or pensions or the ability to choose their own destinies, all supposedly in the name of holiday joy and peace on earth! How dare you make a mockery of the Christmas season with your hypocritical usage of an unjust system, taking all the credit for the craftsmanship of your impoverished work force, languishing in isolation and oppression!

I want nothing from you at all.

Happy Christmas,

Hermione Jean Granger
