I admire Tolkien's devotion to his children. He seemed like a loving father, and this book proves it. The letters were cute, funny and had some mystery in them.

This is so beautiful and sad at the end.
Tolkien writes to his 4 children over the years as Father Christmas... and as soon as they get older the kids stop writing to him.
The stories he writes and the love he shares it is really amazing. One of my favorites!

Not the kind of book I love but this was a wonderful idea by Tolkien it's quite charming imagining the faces of those kids when they received that letter.

How have I never seen this?? This is such a cute book! I am definitely bringing a new tradition to Christmas with the grandbabies.
