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,

I realize it is not customary for you to grant the Christmas wishes of those who do not currently possess the faculty of being human, but I implore upon you to make a small exception for me. I'm not actually asking for a present so much as a very small act of kindness. Could you please split the rest of my neck so that I can finally join the Headless Hunt? I've been waiting for several centuries, and really, I have been most patient, I think. I know this is normally the milieu of your somewhat less jolly brother in the black robes, the one who carries a sickle, but as he's usually busy playing the Ghost of Christmas Future in theatrical productions at this time of year, perhaps you could see your way clear to do this little task for me? Thank you.

Most sincerely,

Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington
