聖誕老人總是神出鬼沒，代表着驚喜。你有什麼話想對聖誕老人說的呢，看看下面的範文吧。
給聖誕老人的一封信一：
Dear Father Christmas,
親愛的聖誕老人：
So my friend has asked me to write to you... I have to confess it's been hard to know what to say. Mainly because like most adults I feel preposterous asking anything of you because our time with you is surely done. Now we get our own presents, control our own fates, take responsibility for our own actions, and live in the world we have created... so it's not for us to turn around and plead for your help with the environment, the migrant crisis, the NHS, education, food banks, human rights, fundamentalism and wars. Though God knows we need all the help we can get with all these man-made problems and more.
我的朋友叫我寫信給你……我不得不承認實在很難知道該對你說什麼。主要是因爲像大部分成年人一樣，我覺得對你要求點什麼好像很荒謬，因爲我們和你已經沒有交集了。現在的我們自己給自己買禮物，掌握自己的命運，對自己的行爲負責，並且生活在我們自己的創造的世界裏面……所以我們沒有理由找你幫忙來解決我們自己所造成的那些問題，比如環境問題、移民危機、NHS醫保系統、教育、食物銀行、人權、原教旨主義和戰爭。儘管天曉得，我們真的需要任何能得到的幫助來面對這些人造的危機和麻煩。
And it's not that you aren't compassionate and full of joy. You're great. In spite of you being changed into different colours for corporations and being bastardised to represent materialism gone mad - despite probably originating in some season based pagan druid ritual a million thought miles from requests for spontaneously combusting hoverboards... Kidadults cynically pointing this out after having their moment of belief in you are wasting everyone's precious time. Because you are not for them. You are for the children. Children who need some magic in a world where the borders between innocence and responsibility, playful imagination and cold, adult obstacles are continually shrinking.
並不是說你沒有同情心或者沒有充滿歡樂。你很棒。儘管你被各種商業機構篡改得面貌全非，被妖魔化而代表了瘋狂的拜金主義——簡直像異教徒的儀式一般每到這個季節就要求禮物填滿慾望，比如那種有可能突然就自燃了的懸滑板。那些童心未滅的成人們冷笑着指出你是在浪費每個人的寶貴時間，卻忘了他們自己也曾相信你。因爲你不是他們的。你是孩子們的。那些孩子們需要你的魔力，因爲在這個世界，天真與責任、充滿樂趣的想象力與冰冷的成人的障礙之間的界限正在不斷的萎縮逝去。
This is what I'd like to ask you to help with. A little more time for children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their breath rather than sob with their tears. Especially those caring for family members, or suffering illness, hunger or poverty. Especially those hiding in buildings as bombs rain down, or being handed shaking with fear or cold into a boat to escape environmental disaster or war. Please help to light up their worlds with a moment of joy and hope.
這纔是我想請求你幫助的。讓孩子們有更多的'時間只做孩子吧。延伸這魔力與樂趣的時間。讓他們不去關注這瘋狂的真實世界，讓他們可以歡笑而不是流淚。尤其是那些不得不照顧家庭的、身患疾病的、受餓受窮的孩子們。尤其是那些藏身在位於爆炸雨裏的建築中、或不得不又凍又怕的顫抖着被塞進船裏才能逃出災難和戰爭環境中的孩子們。請你照亮他們的世界，給他們一絲希望和歡樂。
When I think about it you've got it tough this year... And when I really think about it I'm not sure that asking you for a lightsaber and getting one (not that I ever did by the way) is equatable with controlling the space time continuum and making the good of childhood last a little longer.
當我想到今年你的處境艱難的時候……當我仔細思考，我不能確定找你要一把星球大戰裏面的光劍並且真的得到它(額，並不曾得到過)能勝過控制時空介質而令美好的童年再多停留一陣子。
But you do inspire wonder and awe amongst those that write you letters and go to sleep hoping there might be a new object in their possession come dawn. You inspire good behaviour and, at least in my memory, some desperate last minute attempts to redeem bad behaviour so as not to be overlooked. Spare a thought too for those millions who want to write to you but through illiteracy can't. Hear their words and help to give them the time and chance to learn how to read and write so they can better their lives and escape their impoverished beginnings.
但對於那些真的給你寫信、憧憬着你會在天明前給他們放好禮物而入睡的孩子們，你帶來了好奇和敬畏。你激發了善行，並且至少在記憶裏，孩子們在最後一分鐘試圖彌補做錯的事情並希望不會因爲做錯事而被你懲罰。還希望你要照顧一下上百萬的不能讀寫的人們，他們想要給你寫信卻不行。傾聽他們的聲音，給他們時間和機會學習讀和寫，這樣他們就可以過上更好的生活，逃離貧困的處境。
I feel a little sorry for you. And I guess I've done exactly what I said I wouldn't... Asked you to help with adult problems and solve some of the greatest worries we have for our children. I promise to leave some extra port and mince pies for you!
我現在對你感到抱歉了。我好像剛剛做了我明明說了我不會做的事。。。我希望你能幫忙解決成人制造的麻煩，緩解我們對我們的孩子最大的擔憂。我保證你，我會給你留超多的肉餡餅的!!
Lots of love
愛你喲

P.S. Please could I have that lightsaber now?
P.S. 現在我能拿到我的光劍了嗎?
給聖誕老人的一封信二：
親愛的聖誕老人：
您好!我知道你無所不能，大人們都說你是一位專門爲好孩子在聖誕節送上禮物的神祕人物。每到這天晚上，你就會駕乘由12只馴鹿拉的雪橇，挨家挨戶的從煙囪進入屋裏，然後偷偷把禮物放在好孩子牀頭的襪子裏，或者堆在壁爐旁的聖誕樹下，雖然沒有人真的見過你的.樣子，但是人們通常裝扮成頭戴紅色聖誕帽子，大大的白色鬍子，一身紅色棉衣，腳穿紅色靴子的樣子，然後總在這一夜出現派發禮物
真的好希望能收到屬於你送的聖誕禮物，然後陪家人一起去玄武湖曬太陽。聖誕老人，你會滿足我這個願望嗎?
祝你永遠快樂
