Santa Claus writes his Yearly Letter to all the children of the world, to let them know he's thinking of them.

Dear Precious Children~
Ho, ho, ho! This is your Christmastime Pal, Old Santa Claus! Hope y'all have been behaving; I have been watching you---
Hard to believe, but it's that time of year again. My elves are working overtime; am afraid it is only going to get busier; but that's the price to pay when one is an Elf. Gotta' get those toys ready for my Big Journey in a little less than a month from now; gee, where DOES the time go off to??
Mama has been feeding me lots of cookies and hot chocolate; gotta' get that weight on to stay warm during my toy deliveries; need the extra padding! LOL She's also been getting my suit ready; I want to look my best when I see each one of you on my Journey!
The reindeer are getting groomed, exercised daily; they are looking forward to their part in it. They are eating well; don't you worry about them!
The sleigh is polished; yet it is empty; it shan't be long before it is loaded down with all the toys; then she can take off!
Children, I hope you have been good to your mommies and daddies. It helps to behave; it makes me sad when you misbehave or get into trouble.
I know some of you have been trying really hard to be good; I shall reward you most faithfully; however, to those dear little mischief makers, I have one word of caution to pass along: if you don't behave, you won't get any toys; all you'll get in your Christmas stockings come Christmas morn is a piece of coal!
Think about it: wouldn't you rather have a nice, shiny bicycle or dolly than a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking??
Well, on to business~
To the Sandusky family:
I am listing y'all first because there's so many of you. I don't know how your Mommy and Daddy do it without going crazy! Yet they embody the spirit of Christmas all year long; their steadfast devotion to you surely deserves to be rewarded--and handsomely, at that.
So there are several new faces in your family. How wonderful! I am looking forward to meeting little Habir, Emir, Opal Lee, and Emma-Ruth, as well as little Bjorn and Vincente. I shall get them each something extra special for Christmas!
I am also looking forward to meeting your twin sons, Ian and Isaiah. Congratulations, Mama Sandusky! What a fantastic Christmas present: twins--and both healthy, at that! What a miracle! I shall be getting the boys something special too from my sleigh; you just wait and see!
Ronee', I wish I could do something to take your pain away; I see it in your eyes, see it in your walking. Arthritis is a terrible thing; yet you have conquered it beautifully. Now you are facing surgery on your hands in January. I know you are scared; but Jesus will get you through it. Just trust in Him; and know that even Santa Claus will be praying hard for you to come through the surgery!
And Johnny: my, you have gotten so big! Now you are a teenager; it's incredible how far you've come in your life, in your battle against muscular dystrophy! It breaks my heart to see you suffering; yet you are one of the most courageous kids I know. I shall be on the lookout for that M3p player you have your heart set on! I plan on making your Christmas extra special this year; don't you worry about it!
If I had one Christmas wish for you, it would be to see you rise out from your wheelchair and walk, even run! Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?? It could very well happen if I have a hand in it; it could very well happen in your lifetime! Don't you even think of giving up hope!
Next order of business: the Jiminez family: mama Maria, papa Rico, and son, Perfecto. How I wish I could take your pain away; yet I am not Jesus. All I can do is pray for your son, and pray for a miracle. It's always heartbreaking to see little children suffer from such terrible diseases; yet you have been so strong. I know it isn't easy; I can't imagine what I would do in your situation.
I shall be looking for a puppy for your boy; after all, Santa knows what children want. He's magical; he knows all things even before you do. I shall do all I humanly can to make Perfecto's (final) Christmas one to remember for the ages!
Thirdly, let me address the Parkington family: mama Ruth, papa Robert, kiddies Tyler, Grace, and Emma. I know it isn't easy since little Gage left this world; yet you have to stay strong for one another.
If I could bring your baby boy back to life, believe me, I would, in a heartbeat! However, you can still cherish his memories, and you can be rest assured that Jesus is holding him, safe and sound, in His Strong, Loving Arms. I wish I could do something to ease your pain!
And now on to the Doucet family. Jenna, Michael, Mattaq, and now little Kenai. I shall be looking for something extra special for the new Little One in my sleigh. Just let me know what he needs; I shall personally deliver it to him at the hospital where he now lays. I am most glad he is doing better; yet I realize he has a long, hard road ahead of him; but if I know your son, he has already proven to be a little fighter.
I shall reward you all with something truly spectacular; Lord knows you need some joy in your lives after the tumultous year you've all had--and still continue TO have. You are all in my prayers; I pray for you all every night before I retire for the night!
Well, I will continue writing another day. Reindeer are nervous about something; have to go out and investigate. Hopefully it isn't a mrauding polar bear or a snow beast. That'd be the last thing I need: a bunch of dead reindeer! That would certainly prove to be most disasterous!!
Take care, and may God bless each and every one of you! Know I love each and every one of you so much! Be good; know I am watching out over you! I know what you are doing at all times!
I love you all!
Ho, ho, ho!!
~With Christmas Love, your North Pole Christmas Time Friend, Santa Claus.

Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
