Santa’s felt boots — TO DAR
The beginning of December came, but the winter was late. Even the trees did not completely shed their brown leaves, and they showed off in autumn attire.
Two brothers, Sasha and Misha, hoped in vain that the snow would soon fall and they would be able to build an ice fortress. No frost, no snow, only dullness and dirt. And you don’t want to walk in such weather, just get your feet dirty. All Sunday afternoon they stuck around at the window, but they did not wait for the snowfall. In the evening the children listened to a story. Mom read it.
“The gloomy sky hangs discontentedly over the earth. As if going to shed lingering cold rains at any moment. The dense forest was ruffled and bristled with thorny firs and pines. It was late autumn, when everything froze in anticipation of winter. Suddenly, a glimpse appeared among the trees — a fire flared up in the depths of the forest thicket.
— Mom, — interrupted the eldest of the boys, Sasha, — just like ours. There is also no snow and no frost. Some disgrace!
— Uh-huh, — Misha agreed with him, — but I want to go skiing.
He was silent for a while and asked his brother:
— When the snow falls, will you help me build a fortress?
— I’ll help, — he agreed.
Mom continued reading: “The bells rang, the sky turned blue. Silvery flashes ran through the fir trees. It got cold right away. The light that lit up the forest was multi-colored — Father Frost’s palace shone with all shades of the rainbow. The walls of the tower looked like frozen water. An openwork pattern shone through the ice, reminiscent of a frosty pattern on the windows. Santa Claus himself sat in his halls, next to the throne was a bag with letters from children. The messages were very different: “Grandpa, I really want you to bring me a beautiful doll”, “give me a superhero costume”, “may my mother get better soon”, “and I want a real ball gown like a princess”, “let dad will quit smoking”, “grandfather, I want to have friends”. Santa Claus carefully read the letters, and wrote out some requests in his scroll. The girl watched closely.
— Grandpa, why do you write down part of your wishes on a separate piece of paper? she couldn’t resist asking.
— You know, Snowball, there are special desires, real ones. So I write them out so that they come true in the very first place.
Snowy thought for a moment, then asked again:
— Grandpa, but not all children write letters to you. Do they have real dreams too? How will their wishes come true?
Santa Claus looked up from the scroll and smiled and answered:
— If you want, help me. Fly with your girlfriends around the world and find out what children dream about.
Snowball ran out of the hall and turned into a snowflake. Snow began to fall on the ground.
Mom paused to catch her breath.
— Mom, you know, this is nonsense — your fairy tale, — Misha smiled indulgently.
— Yeah, in fact, Santa Claus does not exist. It’s you and dad who buy gifts for us, ”Sasha supported him.
— Yes, I’ll write a big list for Santa Claus, — Misha made a face. — Let him prove that he really is.
Really, Sasha?
The guys were mischievous: after all, without snow, even winter is not winter. And the New Year without cold weather and winter fun is not real. Mom was offended, closed the book and said:
— In this case, it will be easier for Santa Claus so that they don’t believe in him — you won’t have to bring gifts. March on the beds!
Sasha and Misha looked at each other. Maybe they were pissed off for nothing? And then Santa Claus will hear and leave them without gifts.
— All right, I’ll believe in Santa Claus, — Misha condescended, — if it snows tomorrow.
And they went to bed.
… The snow was fluffy and white. All morning he fell on the school yard, carefully covering the ground from frost. By noon the soil was covered with a thick blanket. Bushes and trees stood as if wrapped in a warm blanket. The bell rang. Schoolchildren jumped out of the open doors like peas from a pod and ran across the yard, leaving footprints on the snow carpet.
A small group of second-graders remained near the school. Among them were Sasha and Misha.
— Wow, how much snow! Great! Finally! Sasha screamed.
He rolled up a snowball and launched it into the wall of the house.
— Sa-a-shk, let’s build a fortress. Snow is in bulk, — Misha turned to him.
He nodded in agreement
— Guys, let’s roll the snow into lumps, — he commanded.
They scattered in different directions. Each made a small snowball, which began to roll in the snow. The young snow was sticky, the balls were heavy.
— Mish, help, — Sasha asked.
Together, puffing, they rolled a lump to the place of the alleged fortress. And then they ran for new clods. The boys did not notice that a snowflake was floating in the air above them, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow.
The fortress grew, very little remained. The guys are a little tired. At this time, an unfamiliar girl approached them, dressed in jeans and a blue jacket trimmed with fur.
— Boys, can I come with you? she turned to them.
The guys carefully looked at the stranger: a little older than them, with a long plait and serious gray eyes.
— Can you? – said Sasha.
— And then! See for yourself.
She deftly rolled up a huge lump and rolled it to the fortress.
— Wow! Sasha was delighted. — How strong you are. Probably everyone wants to be friends with you?
They got to know each other. Misha asked the girl:
— And what kind of name is this — Snezhka?
— Snezhanna. That’s what my grandfather called me, — she smiled.
The boys gladly accepted her into the team. And the snow battle began to boil!
Then they rested after the stormy capture of the snow fortress. Snezhka, as a girl, did not take part in the battles. She was entrusted with the duty of making snowballs and treating the wounded. The boys were out of breath and flushed after the game, their hats were knocked to one side. They stuffed their wet mittens into their pockets, while they themselves breathed into their hands, trying to warm them.
Sasha at that time was sculpting a kitten from the snow.
— What are you going to ask Santa Claus for the New Year? Misha asked one of the boys with interest.
«I don’t know yet,» he drawled. — Maybe an iPad.
— And I want a laptop, games for consoles and a cool phone, — Misha listed.
The rest of the guys supported him: good gifts
— I want a kitten, — Sasha said. “Only my dad won’t agree to anything.
— Why? Snow was surprised. — After all, a kitten is great.
— Dad doesn’t think so, — Misha explained, — he says that cats scratch the wallpaper and ruin the furniture.
— He will never buy it for us, — Sasha sighed.
Then rolled up a snowball and threw it up.
— Yes, — Misha summed up, — we won’t have a kitten.
***
Tutankhamen the Thirteenth, or Tut for short, lived in the basement of the Moscow DEP. The employees of the office always left food and water for Tutu and his mother, so that the kitten’s coat shone like silk.
But his whole day was spent in a dark room catching his own tail, because there was no other entertainment. Mom, Nefertiti the Only, said that he should not run far from home — she was very afraid for Tutankhamun the Thirteenth. But Tutu wanted to see the world that lay outside the basement window. He often looked out the window and counted how many feet passed him.
“So, two smart little shoes. It must be a girl,» Tut reasoned.
“Here are the big and black boots. They must belong to a grown man,” he thought when he saw the new pedestrian.
Sometimes dogs would run past the cellar, then Tut would curl up into a ball, and his fur would stand on end. It turned into a ball and hissed, trying to scare off enemies. But they were unaware of its existence and calmly rushed away.
Sometimes pigeons and sparrows walked importantly in front of the window, picking up bread crumbs from the asphalt. Then Tutu wanted to crouch on the ground and slowly, slowly sneak up on the prey.
He felt the primal call seething in his blood. What a brave hunter he would have become if his mother had allowed him to leave the basement! But still, most of all, he dreamed of how to get acquainted with the owners of shoes and boots. After all, any cat dreams of a cozy house, where he will be poured warm milk and will be happy.
“I will have one, no, two masters,” Tut dreamed. “And they will play catch-up with me, brush my hair, carry me in my arms and stroke me all the time.”
He wanted this so much that he was carried away by his thoughts far, far away, and his mother, Nefertiti the Only, had to call her son several times so that he would hear her.
One day Nefertiti the Only told Tut that people have a fairy tale about Santa Claus who grants wishes on New Year’s Eve. Santa Claus is a pedestrian who wears felt boots. Boots Tut had never seen, so they seemed something amazing. He imagined them in the form of shiny, shimmering boots with all colors. And Nefertiti the Only told that Santa Claus is not exactly a pedestrian — he rides a large sleigh pulled by white horses.
— Is the sled a type of car? Tut asked.
— No, it’s not a car, — Nefertiti the Only licked it, — a sleigh is a sleigh. Just wait, the snow will soon fall, and you will see the sleds on which people carry their children. Santa Claus has the same, only bigger.
— What does a horse look like? Who does she look like? — Tut did not let up.
— Well, my mother began uncertainly. She saw a horse only once in her life: — it is so big. The horse has a long tail, but not the same as ours, mice or dogs, but completely different. The horse also has a mane and hooves. And she laughs loudly.
Here I tried to imagine a horse, but nothing came of it.
— And when is the New Year? he asked the next question.
— When the snow falls, — answered Nefertiti the Only, — it will be very soon. And before you ask, I answer: snow is white flowers falling from the sky. They are cold and melt if they touch the tip of the tongue.
“Okay,” Tut decided, “I’ll wait for the New Year and I’ll be on guard.
After all, if people believe in Santa Claus, then he exists. And then I will see his felt boots, and a large sleigh, and an incomprehensible horse. I can even make a wish.»
Soon it began to snow, it went on without rest for a whole week, turning the world into a white sheet. Here I was fascinated by how the trees were getting prettier, by what intricate patterns the windows of the houses were covered.
«Soon I will find Santa Claus and make a wish,» he rejoiced.
And then one day Nefertiti the Only said that tonight people will celebrate the New Year. There will be noise everywhere, but do not be afraid — after all, fireworks will be launched, and it is so beautiful.
“Like pieces of a rainbow light up in the sky,” she explained.
Then I realized that I had to act. And after waiting for his mother to go hunting, he got out into the yard. The street was stunned by sharp smells and cold. The wind blew a handful of snow at Tut, and the kitten shivered.
In indecision, he looked back at the basement window, but then proudly lifted his tail and went in search of Santa Claus.
Boots and shoes ran past. Their owners were in a hurry on important business and did not notice Tut. And the kitten was completely confused: he did not know where to go next. He sat down on the porch of the house and decided that he would wait here. Suddenly, out of thin air, a sleigh appeared in front of him, decorated with a bright pattern. They were harnessed by three white horses. Here I was amazed: how huge! Just like mom used to say. And in the sleigh sat Santa Claus. He waved his hand to Tutu and said:
— Run after people and go down to the subway, it’s light and warm there. Wait for the owner, today your wish will come true. And I’ll tell my mom that you’re fine.
Father Frost rushed off, and Tut marveled again: felt boots seemed quite ordinary: gray and without any pattern. He sat a little on the porch and went to the subway.
***
On December 31, Misha and Sasha got up early to decorate the Christmas tree.
Mom was busy in the kitchen, and dad went to work. The fluffy spruce was slightly taller than the brothers. They stood on tiptoe to put a bright star on top of their heads. The branches were decorated with gold and silver balls, crimson icicles, bright bells, inside which an invisible tongue rang. Among the toys, there were home-made ones that Sasha and Misha made themselves: lanterns cut out of colored paper, snowflakes decorated with broken glass beads. The transparent snow maiden, fir cones and houses seemed very old, dad used to hang them on his Christmas tree when he was a boy. Mom came into the room and brought a pair of tiny boots.
— This is for your Christmas tree. Your grandmother bought them when she worked at a felting factory.
Sasha and Misha hung glass beads and terry garlands over the toys. Under the spruce they seated a toy Santa Claus in a richly decorated fur coat, with a staff and a long beard, a Snow Maiden and a Snowman in a green scarf. Everything was ready for the New Year.
Only dad was missing. Mom laid the festive table, lit aromatic candles and a Christmas tree garland. The kitchen smelled appetizingly of meat languishing in the oven. Misha once again took the phone and dialed the cherished numbers. A familiar voice came over the phone.
— Dad, are you coming soon? And then the New Year is already beginning, — Misha was worried.
— Mish, no way, I’m standing in a traffic jam. The whole city is standing still. I’ll try to make it in time, — answered the father.
— Come on, otherwise we can’t start without you, — Misha looked at his watch — the hand was getting closer to midnight.
The noise of the engine and the radio was heard in the phone — after all, dad worked as a driver.
Only at nine o’clock in the evening did dad finish delivering holiday orders around the city. He expected to be home by ten. But the car drove a little and stalled. Dad tried to start the engine for two hours. When I was about to catch a taxi, the engine started working.
Dad’s joy was premature — a traffic jam formed on the road. Lazily working traffic lights collected cars at intersections, the transport barely crawled. There was nothing to do. I had to leave the car near the subway to get home before the New Year.
“Okay, I’ll pick it up tomorrow,” Dad thought.
Some people decided to celebrate the holiday on the street. They rejoiced loudly, sang songs and danced. Firecrackers and firecrackers exploded all around. Surprisingly, there were a lot of people in the subway too. Many spent the Old Year and hurried to visit friends or relatives. Dad ran along the passage, and time inexorably rushed towards the New Year. Dad’s head was spinning only: “Will I have time? The guys will be upset if I’m late. Suddenly, a red ball rushed under his feet.
— Who’s here? Dad was surprised.
Tutankhamen the Thirteenth heard his name and shouted loudly:
— I’m Here! I! Who called me?
Dad looked down and saw a kitten. Small, two months old, fluffy and with a white chest.
He meowed plaintively, running from one passerby to another. Dad ran past and stopped. Surprised at the impulse, he returned and took Tut.
“Let it be, anyway, the children have been asking for a long time,” dad put it in his bosom and ran home.
The chimes have begun counting the outgoing year. The front door slammed, and dad burst into the room without undressing.
— Hooray! Managed! Sasha rejoiced.
He and Mishka jumped merrily, almost to the ceiling. The champagne popped. Everyone shouted in unison:
— Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
— This is for you to study well, — with these words, dad took Tut out of his bosom.
— Dad, this is a real miracle. How I love you, — whispered Misha.
“Somewhere far away in the festive sky a sleigh was flying, driven by a trio of horses. The bell rang merrily under the arc. Magic horses, dappled gray, hoofed in the air. Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden sat in the sleigh, they were surrounded by snowflakes of all colors of the rainbow.
— Here’s another real wish come true. Really, grandpa? Snow asked.
— True. And most importantly, they realized that they themselves can work miracles for their loved ones.”
Letter to Santa Claus from a child — how to write, sample text
Childhood is a magical period in the life of every person. This time is accompanied by a stubborn belief in miracles. Children, with all their unfeigned naivete, know that different parts of the planet are inhabited by heroes from fairy tales, somewhere in the forest Snow White gets along superbly with gnomes, Belle is in a beautiful castle, that somewhere in the eastern countries a magic carpet flies, as well as a huge number of fairies, genies and dragons.
There is a legend that Santa Claus lives in Lapland, which in translation is Grandfather Frost, it is he, along with the Snow Maiden, who are the most anticipated guests at any of the New Year holidays.
So, in order not to break your dreams of meeting a hero from a fairy tale, you can write a letter to Santa Claus together with your child and ask for what the child wants.
When is the best time to send a cherished letter?
Contents
November is the best month to remind your child to write a message. At first, it’s worth explaining to the kid that good Santa Claus brings gifts only to those children who have behaved well throughout the year, and also tell that you should only ask Grandfather for something that you really can’t do without.
Recognize a special day for writing such letters: the fourth of December. Once the date is set, it is worth making a list of gifts that the child would like to ask for.
Wish List
To think about this, the little ones will certainly need the help of adults. When compiling the list, be close to the child and help with everything.
- In a letter to a child, you should indicate only what he really needs. You can make a long list, and cross out one subject from there before writing the letter itself. It is worth telling the child that a lot of children write to Grandfather, and he simply will not have time to read a long list.
- Do not forget to warn the child that Santa Claus is very kind, but he simply cannot give many gifts to one kid.
- After compiling the list, you need to carefully read it and point out to the child that Grandfather Frost will give only one gift, the rest of the wishes will have to be fulfilled by the parents. And the kid must choose the thing that he would like to receive only from Santa Claus.
Writing a letter
Correct content:
- The message should begin with the greeting “Hello, dear Santa Claus!”;
- The next paragraph should contain information about the name of the child, his age and a few words about him;
- Then it is worth talking about how the baby behaved this year, the parent should write about this from the words of the child;
- It is never too late to express gratitude to Grandfather Frost for previous gifts;
- And here you can indicate what you would like to receive for the holiday;
- At the end of the letter, the name and age should be signed;
- Attach a postcard drawn by a child to the message.
Sample letter
Hello, dear Santa Claus!
My name is ______________, I am __ years old, I live in __________________, the city is located far from your home. All year I was kind and tried to listen to mom and dad, and therefore I think that I deserve a nice gift. I want to say a big thank you for all last year’s presents, I really liked them, and I was satisfied. And now the next year has come, and now I would like to receive: _____________________________________________________________. Mom said that you have a lot of helpers, and I myself saw it in a cartoon, but I would really like you not to forget about me and receive my letter.
Thank you very much!
Obedient child (name) ___________ (age).
Sending a message
Pack it in an envelope and include a card drawn by the child. A return address is required. That’s the whole secret of how to write a message to Santa Claus.

New Year without Santa Claus is no longer presented to either adults or children. It is faith in the fabulous Santa Claus that helps to distract from problems and plunge into the world of magic. Children who still continue to believe in miracles and Santa Claus (and there are many of them) will definitely want to send a letter to the old wizard.
Design and text
In most families, sending messages to Santa Claus is a tradition that has been followed for generations. If the child is small and cannot write a letter on his own, then parents or grandparents will always come to the rescue. When a child prepares a message himself, it turns out better and more sincere. It is advisable to take care of writing a letter in advance, two weeks in advance, or even earlier.
For greater truthfulness, the letter is sent to the real address of Santa Claus in Veliky Ustyug, or even to Lapland, so as not to undermine the child’s faith in the existence of a wizard.
Not a single letter will remain unanswered or a consoling gift from the kind Santa Claus.
To make the letter correct and beautiful, the child must write from the bottom of his heart the most cherished wish. Letters to Santa Claus reach once a year, on the eve of a great holiday, so think carefully and decide what you want more than anything else.
It is better to start the letter with a warm greeting to the Snow Maiden and Grandfather Frost. After that, you should not immediately order gifts, this is at least a sign of bad taste. It is better to tell Grandfather Frost about yourself (what is your name, how old is it, do you have a brother or sister) and be sure to tell about your behavior this year.
At the end of the letter, do not forget to congratulate Santa Claus and his helpers on the coming New Year and be sure to wish him something. In conclusion, do not forget to sign (for example: «Respectfully, Lesha») and put the date of the message.
On the envelope, indicate the correct return address to which Grandfather Frost will send the answer.
Letter decoration
- The simplest decor is a ready-made form on which the text will be written. You can buy it in a store or find and print it yourself on the Internet.
- Another way to decorate can be a picture drawn by a child on the back of a letter. This design will be very original and Santa Claus will definitely like it!
- This option is more difficult and will require adult assistance. To decorate the letter, you can use all kinds of decor items that can be found in almost every home. These include buttons, light-colored thread, bright and colored tape, stickers, beads, cereals, paints, colored paper, scissors and glue. From buttons, for example, you can lay out a Christmas tree and stick it to paper, and paint the Snow Maiden with Santa Claus with paints. This method invites the child to dream up and make the letter the way he wants.
- An interesting option to decorate a message is to paste over a piece of paper with a written text with New Year’s stickers. You can use all kinds of clippings and pictures from magazines.
You can use all kinds of clippings and pictures from magazines. It is extremely important to write a letter in a beautiful and legible handwriting so that Grandfather Frost can read and make his dream come true. If a child writes such a letter every year, then all his wishes will surely come true, and a magical mood and faith in miracles will warm him on cold winter nights.
Today, adults also began to write letters, however, the content of the messages is different from children’s. For the most part, they are of a comic nature and are needed solely to cheer up. The most popular among adults was a letter to Santa Claus as a joke. Of course, in order to adequately perceive this, you need to have a good sense of humor, otherwise the reader simply will not understand him.
Anyone can send such letters, regardless of age. Writing it is very simple: just treat the process with humor, use unusual phrases, ask Santa Claus for unrealistic gifts, and so on. A comic letter to a magician will especially appeal to those people who have not yet encountered such a letter.
So, in a comic form, you can find out the desires of a friend, girlfriend or loved one.
Write letters to Santa Claus — and he will definitely visit you on New Year’s Eve.

The New Year is a holiday of magic and miracles, and it is equally awaited by both children who expect many gifts and fulfillment of desires, and parents spend this time with their families, without being distracted by various routine activities, such as work, cleaning, cooking and so on.
But how to order from Santa Claus the gift that you want the most? The best solution in this situation would be to write a letter to Santa Claus himself, and then the baby will definitely receive his long-awaited gift.
You need to think about writing in advance, it is best to do this with the onset of winter. There is even a special holiday when everyone sends an original letter to Santa Claus with frank wishes.
The main thing in this matter is not to postpone until the last day, because in this case your letter to Santa Claus simply will not have time to arrive. Imagine how many messages arrive at the post office, and if they arrive on the last day, then Santa Claus simply may not have time to read each one.
The letter is written both on their own behalf and on behalf of several people. A good option for a child would be to gather school or kindergarten friends and write a letter to Santa Claus from everyone, who will understand what the children wrote and come with a bag of gifts.
Text of the letter
What to ask him? Where should you not make mistakes and how to write? In such a situation, parents, or an older generation, come to the rescue, since all of them also wrote letters to Santa Claus in childhood and help in this difficult matter.
You need to start the message with a greeting, and the best way is: “Hello, dear Grandfather Frost! How are you? Why do not you write?».
At the beginning of the letter, do not use: “I want such and such a toy”, “bring this”, and so on, because. they indicate a lack of cultural education.
After a short greeting, they tell about themselves: what is your name, what is your age, where do you live, and so on. And after the general information, they ask for a gift.
At the end of the letter, congratulate Grandfather Frost on the New Year, wish something good, write a beautiful poem and say goodbye. The address and date of writing are indicated at the bottom of the letter so that Grandfather Frost and his assistants know where to take the gift for the New Year.
Put the letter in an envelope, seal it and leave the correct address of Santa Claus. If there are problems with compilation, then look at the examples.
Appearance of the letter
The next step is a beautiful design. Writing a letter to Santa Claus on an ordinary notebook sheet is not an option, because such a message does not look solid.
This is where imagination kicks in.
Several ways to beautifully design a New Year’s letter:
- A simple and effective design option is to print a finished sample from the Internet. It looks nice, but doing everything by hand will look much better.
- If we make our own, then everything will come in handy, from adhesive tape to colored felt-tip pens and paints. They turn out interesting on colored cardboard, which can later be decorated with cotton wool, Christmas tree rain, bows, glass, beads, and so on. To do this, you need to cut out a suitable piece from colorful cardboard, glue cotton wool, rain and bows on it with glue. Thanks to such simple manipulations, we will not only make a beautiful letter, but also please Santa Claus when he reads.
- For a change, they write a real family message to Santa Claus, on which there will be a seal and their own coat of arms. Come up with a title for yourself, for example, a knight, a musketeer, or even a prince. Everything is possible on New Year’s Eve, so why not give yourself a big title?
- Next, they take a thin sheet of parchment-like paper and carefully write a pre-prepared text. Put a stamp on the letter and draw a unique coat of arms, and then Santa Claus will surely be glad that he received a message from the prince from Moscow!
- If you cannot make a letter using the above methods, then you can simply make it in the form of a collage. To do this, you need to cut out pictures from magazines that show adults with children, Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, and so on, and just stick these pictures on a piece of paper. Everything, the original letter and the festive envelope are ready!
Everything is possible on New Year’s Eve, so why not give yourself a big title? Try to write letters to Santa Claus every year, and then all your sincere wishes will come true!

Children’s time, filled with naivety and boundless faith in miracles.
Every child believes that on New Year’s Eve gifts are brought by the kind Santa Claus, who can fulfill any wish. The main thing is to be an obedient child for a whole year, to listen to Mom and Dad.
At what time should you sit down to write a letter?
A good time to write a letter and make a list of desired gifts can be the month of November. Not every child will be able to write a letter to grandfather, as some, due to their age, have not learned to write. Before writing a message, you need to tell the kid that asking Santa Claus is only what you really need.
There is also a special day for writing letters to Santa Claus — December 4th.
The process of writing a letter
The most important stage of the plan is writing a letter. Here, the help of a parent to a child will certainly come in handy. Babies have different development, some are more developed, some are less. Toddlers who do not know how to write at all can be offered to express their thoughts in pictures, such a game will be exciting for both the parent and the child.
However, the content of the letter itself should be written to the parent himself.

- The letter should begin with a greeting «Hello, dear Santa Claus!»;
- After greeting, you need to tell in which city the child lives, name and age;
- Then you can specify how the baby behaved this year;
- In a letter, it is also worth expressing gratitude to grandfather for all previous gifts;
- After all of the above, you can write about what gift the child would like to receive this year;
- When finishing writing a letter, you must specify the name and age of the child;
- You can add a postcard to the letter, which the child will draw by hand.
In addition to the postcard, you can add a small quatrain related to the upcoming holidays to the letter. Or a personal wish to grandfather, he will be pleased.
