Hi Paula,
How are you doing? I’m back again.
I know you may have some doubts that I may not come this year as your dad ever mentioned. But I tried my best to arrange this trip tonight. However, it’s sadly this has to be my last visit to you because you grow up. You will be 11 next Feb, right? You are no longer a little girl anymore. There’s a rule in Santa Claus Village that Santa Claus will never deliver gifts to children older than 10! I must follow the rule. But don’t worry. From next year, your mum and dad will send you gifts on behalf of me on the same Christmas Eve. As to me, I will still be very busy to send gifts to the little boys and girls younger than 10. You know there’re millions of babies born in this world every year.
I quickly went through your achievements this year before I rode on my sled. The many number ones surprised me again! I’m so proud of you! And I did see you made big progress on taking care of yourself, making plans by yourself and doing things per the plans. Keep going and you will do better! Now I want to share you my secret of “success” as my best gift to you other than any other physical gifts. It’s quite simple: 1, setup the goal, 2, make plan, 3, act on the plan, 4, take feedback and repeat 2-4 until you achieve the goal. Isn’t it simple? The key to make this work is persistence. I believe you can!
Well, I have to say goodbye. I hope you can visit my village some day when you can travel alone far away. I’ll be right there waiting for you.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
Yours, Santa Claus
