Letter to Santa Claus

I’m sure you’ve heard that Santa Claus delivers toys to good girls and boys all over the world on Christmas Eve.  My students tell me this is not true.  Santa has never brought them toys.  I told them maybe you haven’t been good girls and boys; Santa knows these things.  No, they all insisted they had been very good girls and boys.  Their homework assignment for next week is to write a letter to Santa, telling him how they had been good this year (past tense) and what gifts they would like to receive and why.  I can hardly wait to read these letters!

Here is a photo of the women in my hula group at a performance this year. Hard to believe they live in snowy Hokkaido and not Hawaii!
