Thank you for sending me your email all the way from Mississauga! I sure do love the Net because now I never feel lonely all the way up at the North Pole. An email from you, Stefanie, really makes my day!

Well call me the King of Jing-a-Ling, Stefanie, you're getting to be quite a big girl! Wow, 17 years old already! Pretty soon you'll be too big to sit on Santa's knee! Well, even though you're getting a little older Stefanie, Santa's glad to see you still have the Christmas Spirit. I also hear you've been a good girl. (Of course, you won't mind if I do a little checking, will you? HO!! Ho!! ho!!).

Cookies? COOKIES?!? Did you say cookies?! Yum!! You know, I get asked a lot what kind of cookies I like best. Of course, I love *all* kinds of cookies, but what I like the most is when you leave me the kind of treats that *you* like best. (That way it's like we're sharing them!).

The elves are tickled you asked about them in your letter! They're all very happy and busy making presents right now. Of course, that's when they're not jumping into the present wrapping machine or telling silly jokes and singing songs!

Let's see what you put in your letter for Christmas wishes: 1. university acceptance to queen's u; 2. nice boy and; 3. acoustic-electric guitar with an amp . Well, I have something to tell you about that guitar and the other presents you asked for. The good news is that an elf is working hard on them right now! The bad news is that its our dear elf friend "Clumsy". We really do love Clumsy (he really does make good presents!) -- I just wish he'd be a little more, well, careful sometimes. (I know he's being extra careful with your presents). Anyway, if you don't get a guitar this year, I hope you won't be too upset with me. On the other hand, I guess you'll know who made you the other presents!?!

Oh yes, before I forget Stefanie, the elves really want you to visit my new blog! It is called Santa Claus' Christmas Blog. My blog is all about Christmas, life at the North Pole, and me, Santa Claus ! You can even write messages to me and see what others have written. I can hardly wait to see what you write!

Oh! oh! The Grinch is trying to steal some of Mrs. Claus' cookies! That Grinch sure is funny. He may not like Christmas, but he sure likes those cookies! Well, I better go stop him before he snitches them all. Take care Stefanie and don't forget to come back and visit me here at EmailSanta.com on Christmas Eve!! And remember... only 26 more sleeps until Christmas!!

With All My Heart,

TEEHEEHEE! Santa says he's gonna "make" a nice boy for me. Oh I love you, Santa. <3
