TCG Letter #1962

Father Christmas writes wishing Priscilla a Merry Christmas. He asks her to send his love to Christopher. He says that thye are having a hard time, and the war means that they have very little stock. he also remarks that many children are living away from their homes this year because of the fighting. Polar Bear has been very busy making sure that all of the addresses are up to date.

FC mentions his drawing, and the fact that penguins are at the North Pole. He says that they of course do not live in the north, but that they are "evacuees". He says that they did not come because of the war, but because they had heard that Polar Bear, and all the Polar Cubs had been blown up and that FC was under attack from Goblins, which they came to help stop. He says that PB and all of the cubs are safe and "very well".

He hopes that P enjoys the gifts he has sent, but is sorry that there were no "Cats Tongues".
