A message from Noel's boss - SANTA

HO HO HO!

I see you girls have taken quite a liking to my little friend, Noel. She is surely one of the best elves I have ever had. Please take good care of her while she stays with you the month of December. If you are not good to her, well, I am just not sure I could send her back. But I know you both very well and I know you love to take care of things...even elves! So here are my rules for Noel -

1. You have to love Noel with all of your heart.

2. You have to protect Noel and make sure she does not get hurt.

3. You need to make sure you hug and play with Noel everyday.

4. You need to make sure Noel stays healthy and does not get sick in the cold weather.

5. Most importantly, you need to listen to what Noel says in her notes. Remember, Noel works for me and when she is with you her rules are my rules!

Okay, now Emma, your dad called me a little while ago and asked about touching elves and them losing their powers. I understand one of my helpers, Holly, is visiting your school. She is super, isn't she? School elves and House elves are different, you see. Because of all the boys and girls, the School elves, like Holly, must not be touched or they can lose the power to move from class to class. However, House elves are much different. Since they live in your home they are a part of your family and you must love them and care for them as if they were your mom, dad, brother or sister. House elves should get lots of attention and be played with a lot.

So, I expect both Emma and Allie to play with and share Noel all of December. Emma, you know how to set a good example for your little sister...I know it is hard but you do a great job.

It was great to see you both visiting my helper with your cousins at Tuttle Mall. Nice picture.

Have a great Christmas season and I hope to visit your house in a few weeks. Give Noel a hug and kiss for me.

Love,

Santa

P.S. And remember, I am always watching!!!!
