Santa Not Fretting - Email's Update

Speaking of weather, they say that every cloud has a silver lining, and I believe it! For example, I could be sitting around fretting that I was popped away from the North Pole just as the Christmas Season began, but instead, I decided to take a stroll along the streets to see what I could find.

Well, I happened to be walking past a school with a wonderful name--The World of Inquiry! Nearby, I heard some beautiful singing. Usually, when I hear singing this time of year, it's Christmas Carols, but this was different--it was a song from China! I walked around, near the school and I saw a group of children singing different songs from all over the world - and some of the songs WERE Christmas Carols in Spanish. They were marvelous!

But that wasn't the best part of my visit. The kids were accepting donations for the Salvation Army. What a splendid idea, and what a selfless act! It does my heart good to see boys and girls so willing to give of themselves at this time of year.

Well, I think that this is enough for one email now. I think I'll head over to a little bakery close by to try some of their cookies! Don't worry, Mother--I'll only have a few! I expect that you'll figure out a way to get me back home soon, and I'll tell you more stories about my adventures then!

Ho, Ho, Ho!
