Dear Victor,

Thank you for your concern. I’m happy to inform you that we are all safe and well. We look forward to welcoming you all to the Northlands next year. In fact, I’ve called for a planning meeting next week to discuss some great ideas that I have.

Warm wishes,

Freya

How is your planning coming along?

Dear Victor,

Do I sense your need to be ahead of the game and know details before they are official?

Weren’t you the one to accuse us Northlanders of being too competitive at the last summit? Maybe I should point out that you’re too curious.

Warm wishes,

Freya

Dear Victor,

Merry Christmas from your friends in the Northlands. I hope you are well and that you get a lot of presents this year.

Please convey our best wishes to Celeste, Belle, Simon, and Isaac.

Warm wishes,

Hi Freya,

Thank you but let’s not pretend that your greeting is from anyone but yourself. The four others in your delegation wouldn’t take the time to wish us a merry Christmas.

Still, it’s nice of you to do so.

I hope you have a nice celebration and get lots of presents as well.

Best wishes,

Victor

Dear Victor,

I think that’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said to me. I will count that as a Christmas miracle.
