Dear Santa,

I hope you and the Mrs are well. You're both often in my thoughts and I hope that you know you are loved. Thank you so much for all the joy you bring to me and to my darling wife. I think I get more than my fair share, to be honest, since I get such joy out of seeing her happiness at this wonderful time of year.

I'm very excited about this Christmas. Anna and I get to have a Christmas all by ourselves, I think we may sleep in a little! This will be our 5th married Christmas, and the first one in our new house! All very exciting. I'll probably put Anna's presents in the attic, so you can grab them there on your way down.

Well, I won't take up anymore of your time, I know this is getting into 'crunch time' for you. If we don't leave out a plate of cookies for you, you can help yourself to whatever's in the freezer - you may want to anyway, we have a HUGE variety of cookies what with all our boys. They all say hi!

They love you very much and want to thank you again for their socks. They like them a lot, Emerson wore his all year!

Merry Christmas to all of you at the North Pole,
Love,
Charles
