Santa Letter From Marty the Mouse Spreads Christmas Magic Like Cheese

After getting in trouble for disobeying his parents, Marty the Mouse was terrified that he would be placed on Santa’s Naughty List. You see, Marty’s parents have told him many times that he mustn’t venture out into the big house by himself. But Marty loves exploring the large rooms – and he finds lots of treasures to bring back home to his family. Marty is a little mouse that is full of ideas and adventures – he dreams of the day when he can freely leave his family home in the walls of the big house and travel far and wide. But right now he must tend to the business of getting on Santa’s Nice List.

Marty’s distant cousins, Jingles, Sparkle, Twinkle, and Jolly happen to be four of Santa’s Christmas Mice. In case you didn’t know, the Christmas Mice are Santa’s official mail helpers. This gave Marty some ideas… If his cousins work helping with all the Santa Letters, why couldn’t they give him some advice? Marty was sure that his cousins would help – especially Jingles. You see, Jingles is a very sweet little gray and white mouse that has worked hard to make sure that all mice everywhere are remembered at Christmas time.

Marty would send a letter to Jingles right away; he was sure his Aunt Wilma had the secret address for mice at the North Pole. Marty excitedly got his best pencils and notepad out to begin his letter.

Marty’s letter started off with the usual kind of stuff that anyone would include in a letter to someone you don’t see too often; it included updates on each of his family members and the weather, and of course, questions about Jingles’ life and the weather at the North Pole. But then Marty got down to the business of explaining his situation and asking for advice.

Marty needed to know exactly what to say in his santa letter to keep him off the Naughty List. When the letter was completed Marty stashed it in a pile of outgoing mail and hoped that his mom would be sending that mail out soon.

About a week later Marty got a letter from Jingles at the North Pole! He was so excited, and his family was too – everyone was interested in how Jingles and his family were doing and they wanted to know what the weather was like at the North Pole. Marty said he would like to read the letter in private and then he would share it with everyone.

When Marty opened the letter up he was so proud of Jingles – those Christmas Mice really are smart! Jingles had written two separate letters, one was all about life at the North Pole and his friends and family – he even included a picture of him with Santa Claus. But the other letter was meant only for Marty. That letter held the secret to staying on Santa’s Nice List.

As Marty read the letter he learned that the Christmas Mice are responsible for sorting all Personalized Santa Letters that come and go at the North Pole. This means that the mice get to read lots of letters to Santa Claus. It also means they get to see what letters from Santa say.

According to Jingles, Santa Claus is just as wonderful as we have all imagined. Jingles says that if we try to be good and work hard at doing the right thing Santa will understand when we have little mess ups. Jingles also added that Santa Claus will only add us to the Naughty List if we keep doing bad things over and over, and we don’t try to do the best we can.

Jingles explained that because we all know in our hearts what is right and wrong, Santa Claus believes that it’s not necessary for him to be real specific about what we should or shouldn’t do. But Jingles said we could get a Nice List Guide if we need one.

Marty was ecstatic! All he has to do is be good and he will stay on Santa’s Nice List. But even in Marty’s excitement he wondered if Santa would mind if he just made a few more secret trips into the big house.
