Dear Children,
Mrs. Claus was strolling around in the ocean up to her knees this morning when a lovely girl we’ve met here at the Inn waved to her. As Mrs. Claus turned her back on the ocean to wave hello to her friend she stepped backwards to get her balance except the beach dropped away there!
It was very windy this morning and the waves were quite wavy. As Mrs. Claus lost her footing a really big wave came up and took her for a swim she wasn’t planning on! She told me it all happened so fast her mind couldn’t keep up. She was just suddenly on the bottom of the ocean!
Once she was able to find her way to the surface for air she had to figure out how far out to sea the strong tide had taken her. That was when she looked around and realized she couldn’t see! Her glasses had been washed away!
Luckily everyone on the beach saw Mrs. Claus go under and a nice young man who was there surfing helped her onto his surfboard. As they were paddling back to shore he teased her that her missing glasses were probably making some old sea turtle with horrible vision very happy right now!
Much Love,
Santa
