平安夜的一封信

前几天，我在一本杂志里看到了“给圣诞老人写信”的活动……原本我只是因为好玩和好奇才到他的网站寄了封信给他……没想到，今天我打开邮箱，就意外地看到了圣诞老人的回信！

My dear little friend Seok Kien,
My, what a pleasure it was to read your email! When I receive messages from children like you, it brings a big, big smile to my face. It may be very cold at the North Pole, but your note makes me feel warm inside.
What's new at the North Pole? Well, everyone's scurrying about preparing for Christmas. We've all got our special jobs to do, but it doesn't seem like work because we have so much fun.
The other day, some of the younger elves came to the house with a big surprise for Mrs. Claus and me. They wrote a special Christmas poem and it's absolutely wonderful! Are you ready to hear it? It's called Christmas is Almost Here.
Christmas is almost here
A day we hold so dear
The toys are being crafted
Santa's letters are being drafted
And we couldn't be more excited
Because children every where will be so delighted
Do you like to write poems? Maybe when you send your message to me next year, you can write a special poem for me! I hope that you have a very merry Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho!
Love,
Santa

我看完了后，很高兴呢！因为我，从来没想过他会回信给我呢！
虽然我不知道这个圣诞老人是不是会了同一封信给每一位写信给他的小朋友……但是我想，每一位收到信的小朋友都有着和我一样的心情吧？
真高兴！
