“If you find that not many of the things you asked for have come, and not perhaps quite so many as sometimes, remember that this Christmas all over the world there are a terrible number of poor and starving people.”

Letters from Father Christmas by J.R.R. Tolkien

Every December, the children of Tolkien would receive letters from Father Christmas himself. This adorable book contains all the letters, as well as the ones from Polar Bear. It includes delightful pictures which bring the magic to life even more.

This is definitely a book one should have as a Christmas tradition. The charm and magic only add to the Christmas spirit and I plan to add it to my must read list every year. Not only are the stories wonderful but the illustrations endearing. And I quite fell in love with Polar Bear and his many relations.
