Dear Father Christmas,
Thank you for my lovely Christmas present.
I like it a lot – it is just what I wanted.
I will enjoy it very much.
I had a lovely time over Christmas and look forward to next year.
I hope you have happy new year too.
Thank you again,
Love, Sam.
The prophets have foretold this
The angels prepare the way
The star illuminates the place
Jesus is born today
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for becoming one of us, present.
I am overcome – it is just what we needed.
I will treasure this joy.
Love came down this Christmas and shines into next year.
May your living hope sustain us all next year.
Thank you again,
Love, Sam.
