Can you tell me more about what Father Christmas has written in this letter?
This letter opens on a fine crisp morning up at the North Pole and Father Christmas is writing to your child from his office.
He has been very busy as of late, not least because a whole village of ice-fairies have had to come and stay in his house. Sadly, their icy village had mysteriously melted in the middle of the night and so Father Christmas, along with his chief elf Mr Likesalist, set off to find out why.
Father Christmas tramps down to the pond at the bottom of his garden, on the banks of which the ice fairies used to live, and finds it bubbling hot! He is at a bit of a loss as to what has happened, but there are clues nearby. He notices some rather unusual footprints by the side of the pond and Mr Likesalist, who is a jolly shrewd elf, has a good idea who they belong to.
Find out what they discovered by choosing this letter. It all ends happily and we hope you enjoy it.
Anything else it might be useful to know?
Yes. In this letter Father Christmas asks the child to write his or her Christmas list. If your child has already written a Christmas list and sent it to Father Christmas, then this letter is probably not appropriate.
Any further advice?
Well, as a 3 page letter, "Father Christmas and the Ice Fairies" is a great choice if you want your child to have a letter which tells a detailed story. These letters are often popular with parents who like to read them as bedtime stories in the run up to Christmas.
Also, you may notice that the writing on this letter is a little smaller than on the other letters. The size of the writing does vary from letter to letter but if you're looking for a letter with larger lettering than this one, we'd suggest a choice such as "Crack in the Ice".
What does the letter actually look like?
Obviously, this letter comprises of two full colour pages. They're much like the image above, but larger and clearer. Both pages are slightly smaller than A4 and the backs of them are covered with a decorative, Christmassy design. The higgledy piggledy handwriting is a little bit larger than in some of our other letters, and older children often like to read this letter themselves. If you choose to add a personal PS to this letter, it will be done using a beautiful font of Father Christmas's curly handwriting.
Upon creating these letters, what Father Christmas wanted was to make them look as magical as possible - and we believe he has done a good job!
How is the letter packaged?
This letter is gently folded, tied with a ribbon, and placed in a colourful envelope bearing your child's name. The whole thing is then placed in a plain envelope for posting, addressed to a parent or guardian. This is so that if there are small eyes around when it arrives - it looks like an ordinary piece of mail. Tip: We suggest that you leave your child's before Christmas letter somewhere around your house for him or her to find. There's nothing like the look on a child's face when they think a letter has magically appeared!
