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 Father Christmas,
A very merry Christmas to you, my old friend! It seems a shame we so rarely correspond anymore. I found your description of North Pole pixies in your last letter very amusing; you must have quite the time keeping them from hijacking your sleigh. I really will have to take you up on your kind offer of hospitality soon. Your dear wife's delicious gingerbread trifle is not a thing one should miss. Unfortunately, responsibilities of late compel me to remain at Hogwarts over the holidays to ensure the safety of my students. Remember too that you are most welcome to visit at any time. I'm sure Hagrid could comfortably accommodate the reindeer again.
My own Christmas wish would undoubtedly be for peace on earth, but we both know that unfortunately your truly remarkable bag cannot carry that. In lieu of that wish, might I request a pair of socks, extra fluffy, and perhaps some variety of sweet? You know I possess a rather avaricious appetite for anything remotely sugary, one of my many vices. I look forward to seeing you again this year, and I wish you the best of luck, health, and weather on your trip.
Warm regards,
Albus
P.S. In regards to your question about Grindelwald, I do remember he had a fondness for Peppermint Imps, should you decided to visit him this year. I leave the decision entirely in your hands, of course.
