Dear Boys and Girls,

Have you recovered from your exciting day yesterday? I'll bet you're playing with all of your wonderful toys today. Oh, in case I forgot to give you batteries for some of your gifts, ask your Mom or Dad to just run down to the store and buy a pack. Sometimes I forget to include batteries during the Christmas rush.

Well, after my big nap yesterday after delivering toys and presents to children around the world, I woke up to the sound of Cuckoo playing his magical flute. I entered the Party Room in Santa's Castle and my dear wife had organized a wonderful gathering. The elves and elfettes were singing "Silver Bells" and Big Ben was playing the tuba while Cuckoo played the flute and Rock Tock pounded on his new drum set. Nimble was the conductor and the elfette twins Sooner & Later played violins. I have never heard such wonderful music. I danced a waltz with my wife and we told each other how much we loved living at the North Pole and being married and making toys for children.

Then it was time for Rock Tock and Cuckoo to perform some of that rock music. Cuckoo pulled out a Wiggles Guitar and Rock Tock started a fun beat on his drums and pretty soon all the elves and elfettes were dancing and celebrating our wonderful Christmas Day. I was a bit hungry so I wandered over to the dessert table and had a big piece of cherry cheese cake strudel and a nice slice of lemon cheesecake. And I washed it all down with a big mug of warm eggnog. You know, I think I lost a little weight delivering all those toys on Christmas Eve so a few extra calories is okay for me. Did you have a nice Christmas dinner? Did you get any eggnog or Indian Pudding or cake? YUM.

"Here's one for you, Santa!" Rock Tock called from the stage.
"Okay," I said, "let's hear it."

Then those cute litte elfettes Twinkie and Dazzle ran up on the stage and they sang a rock version of "Jingle Bells" while Cuckoo went crazy on his Wiggles Guitar and Rock Tock pounded out a snappy sound. I did some of that fun rock dancing that you kids do and had the time of my life swinging Mrs. Claus all around the Party Room.

Well, I'm going to check out our fridge for a few leftovers, I'll write more tomorrow, okay?

Love to all,

Santa
