Dear Zoe,

Ho Ho Ho all the way from the North Pole!

Mrs. Claus and I hope you have had a wonderful 2023! We’ve had lots of winter fun at the North Pole, playing reindeer
games and enjoying snowball fights with the elves. I hope you’ve been enjoying winter as well. I know you love playing
with friends!

The elves & I are also working very hard to make sure the holidays are jolly & bright for all the world’s children! I can’t
believe you are 10 now! You are growing up so fast. I am so proud of you for for always doing your best and being a
great leader!

I was so happy to see your name on that nice list this year. I even checked twice! You are such a smart & fun girl. I can’t
wait for you to see what I bring Christmas morning.

Now, remember, Zoe, on Christmas Eve, make sure you close your blue eyes & go to sleep! That way, when I stop by
Bradenton with the reindeer, we can leave you a special present made just for YOU!

I better say goodbye now. I think I hear the elves in the kitchen, which means they’re going to eat all the cookies again ...
I want to make sure I get some this time! Remember to keep being kind to others, listen to the adults who love you, and
always say please & thank you.

I can’t wait to fly into Florida to visit your home this Christmas Eve! It’s truly the most wonderful time of the year!
Merry Christmas, Zoe!
