Download or read book Letters to Santa Claus written by The Elves and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “poignant” collection of real letters sent to Santa Claus—a town in Indiana—from the 1930s to the twenty-first century, from both children and adults (The New York Times). For countless Christmases, children—and sometimes adults—have stuffed their dreams, wishes, and promises into envelopes. Over many decades, millions of these letters have poured into Santa Claus, Indiana. Arriving from all corners of the globe, the letters ask for toys, family reunions, snow, and help for the needy—sometimes the needy being the writers themselves. They are candid, heartfelt, and often blunt. Many children wonder how Santa gets into their chimneyless homes. One child reminds Santa that she has not hit her brothers over 1,350 times that year, and another respectfully requests two million dollars in “cold cash.” One child hopes to make his life better with a time machine, an adult woman asks for a man, and one miscreant actually threatens Santa’s reindeer! Containing more than 250 actual letters and envelopes from the naughty and nice reaching back to the 1930s, this moving book will touch hearts and bring back memories of a time in our lives when the man with a white beard and a red suit held out the hope that our wishes might come true. “Often very affecting . . . also offers an unusual window into American history.” —Library Journal “The letters . . . are alternately silly and somber, hilarious and heartfelt.” —The Weekly Standard

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every December an envelope bearing a stamp from the North Pole would arrive for J.R.R. Tolkien’s children. Inside would be a letter in a strange, spidery handwriting and a beautiful colored drawing or painting. The letters were from Father Christmas. They told wonderful tales of life at the North Pole: how the reindeer got loose and scattered presents all over the place; how the accident-prone North Polar Bear climbed the North Pole and fell through the roof of Father Christmas’s house into the dining room; how he broke the Moon into four pieces and made the Man in it fall into the back garden; how there were wars with the troublesome horde of goblins who lived in the caves beneath the house, and many more. No reader, young or old, can fail to be charmed by Tolkien’s inventiveness in this classic holiday treat.

Book excerpt: How many letters are written to Santa each year, all of them containing not only the obligatory list of new toys but far more precious to us than that they also contain the purest essence of childhood those moments when our children whole heartedly believe in Santa Claus. Along with intricate illustrations that depict an inspiring journey towards the most anticipated night of the year The First Letters of Christmas also holds a letter template that helps each child to write their special note to Santa whilst holding back a copy allowing you to revisit that special moment in years to come. The story of Santa Claus and his dear Wife Mrs Claus is loving retold with an emphasis on the power and magic that each letter and wish gives to Santa. A multicultural cast of elves playfully engage in the story as it unfolds and Santa's sleigh receives its full charge from the magic collected from each letter sent. The role of Mrs Claus emulates that of most mothers over Christmas as they strive for the most perfect Christmas ever. The book, sourced from an audit compliant manufacturer, has been beautifully bound in leather to give it that "Dickensian" Christmas look and feel and also so that it can stand the test of time and be put away with the Christmas decorations to be brought out each December when the festive season is upon us again bringing our tag line to life. "Christmases for life not just for Christmas"
