He exists, after all... and I have a letter from him to prove it - well, from one of his elves, because I'm sure he can only answer the mail of big shots, like Presidents, Kings and so on, for protocol reasons, which are more than understandable.  It even has some handwriting from an elf.. Outstanding!

Sure the stamp is printed, and so is the postmark, but I'll keep it on my collection just the same. After all, someone was kind enough to read my letter to Santa and add some handwritten words to his standard reply.

As I said before, I'm not that fond of Christmas, but I just can't escape it and I confess I felt rather pleased to open my letter box and see this nice colourful envelope inside. 

Thank you so much Santa, you've made my day, and I hope all around the world your letters may kindle hope and longing, not for the thousandth Barbie or Action man but for that little three letter latin world that everybody understands but that sadly and strangely is so difficult to impart: Pax!
