Dear Father Christmas,
Hello again. I hope you are doing well this year. I think you probably are as you usually have a very positive look on things. I always worry a little bit about you being up at the North Pole, though. The pixies there are supposed to be most troublesome, and I'm sure your mistletoe is simply crawling with Nargles and Packytwacks from the cold. Do be sure you're being careful to leave lots of radishes around. Father says it helps make them less inclined to give people a bad case of pinny shins (that prickly feeling people get in their legs sometimes? That's the Packytwacks, to be sure, and you need your shins to help drive your sleigh, especially after that unfortunate incident at Mr. Moody's last year.).
Do you have flowers at the North Pole at all? I think you should. They make people happier, but then you're so jolly they might make you giggle too much, but then that could be the Nargles tickling you, too.
Oh, by the way, I'll leave a nice Butterbeer out for you on Christmas Eve, with the cork still attached to help with any Nargles in your beard. I'm not sure what type of biscuits you like best, or if you're perhaps allergic to anything, so I'll leave out a few slices of roast beef instead. Most everyone likes that.
If you have any time on Christmas Eve, I think I'd like as a present some help finding a few of my lost belongings, especially the Plimpy-shaped brooch as it was Mum's. It's okay if you can't, though.
Merry Christmas,
Luna
