Well, put simply, Pirates!<\/p>\n

Quick Rundown:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Father Christmas has been having quite a night by the time he stops at your house to catch his breath and drop off the gifts.\u00a0 In fact, he’s grateful to have made it at all! \u00a0 He ran into a motley crew of pirates and has had a lucky escape.\u00a0 He scribbles this letter to your good little girl or boy telling them all about his hair-raising\u00a0 journey from the North Pole.<\/p>\n

More Detail:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When your little on wakes on Christmas Morning, he or she will hear how as Santa flew across the ocean, he was captured by pirates. Captain Scabb (Scourge of the Seven Seas), his motley crew and a very bad parrot had been greedily lying in wait to capture the Christmas presents and tried their best to make off with the whole sack.\u00a0 Luckily Father Christmas was carrying more than they bargained for and with the help of a friendly sea-monster, managed to get away.<\/p>\n

This letter is charming, exciting, funny and magical. We highly recommend it.\u00a0 It’s a lovely story for any child who likes a bit of an adventure and, because it’s two pages, a longer read.<\/p>\n
