This is a sample email that Santa has sent in the past. Obviously, every email is different, and the original email to Santa Claus is included with the reply.

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!

Thank you very much for your letter.

Aren't computers great, it is so much easier for me to keep in touch this way! Next year I hope to have all the elves using them too.

But right now, they are too busy getting all the Christmas goodies ready to load into my sleigh.

Now be good and you'll be very happy Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas, love,

Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves, and the reindeer

p.s. Mrs. Claus and I hope that you'll do well in school so that someday you might be an elf too!
