Dear Nathan,

Annanias and Hezekiah are very excited and having lots of fun looking for a present for you. They are seriously considering something to do with this area. Sadly, they missed the Folklore Society Festival on Saturday. They had planned to look for a present there, but alas, circumstances did not permit. Progress has been slow. They are a little cold at the moment, being natives not of the North Pole but of California. They miss the sunny skies and the flowers that bloom until December. But they are coping nicely, and soon will become accustomed to the colder climate. It is so hard recruting people from elsewhere. But it must be done. It's so hard to get good help these days.

Sincerely,
Santa Claus
