Dear Ann,

Greetings from the North Pole!

I hope you are doing well.  I can't tell you how happy I am to hear what a good girl you've been this year. You are already 7!  It is hard to believe!

I am very busy again this year at the North pole, but I can always take a moment to write a letter personally to Ann, because you are such a special girl to me.

We're very excited about our Christmas Eve trip this year. I will be coming to Toronto on Christmas Eve with my reindeer. I should not be able to go to every house in Toronto, but since you are a special girl, I will be visiting your home to bring you nice presents like story books, color pencils and all, and I hope you will really enjoy your gifts. Don't forget to tell your mom to arrange some snacks for me and a few carrots for the reindeer.

Goodbye for now. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

With Love.
Your friend,

Santa Claus  .
