Dear Father Christmas,
The first time I wrote to you was because of a curse, you know. It seems so long ago, really; that was for my first Christmas here in the City, and I'm already coming up on my fourth now. I remember I wished for all sorts of silly things then, too--for you to take the curses away, to bring me something that all the modern girls in the City would want, even to bring me a rather nice prince if you could manage it. I'm still not very good at being modern, you know, but I think I'm better at it now than I was then.
Oh, and I wished for my horse, but I think that was a bit more Sam's doing than yours, wasn't it? All the girls were wishing for horses, as I recall, but I think I'm the only one that got hers when the day at last came around.
But this year, there isn't anything I want for Christmas. I don't mind going without. I won't ask for a single thing, not to see Sam again, not for Daddy and Mother and Alexander, not for Blue or Penny or Duo or anyone else. I won't ask for horses, or princes, or anything for modern girls, or even that you do anything to make sure I'm happy when it comes around. I don't mind even that. I won't hope for a tree or a great big dinner or sleigh rides or presents or any of it, big or small. I'll go without a Christmas at all, and I won't mind it a single bit, if you'll only take away one family and reunite another in its place.
I'm terribly sorry to bother you--I think I must be cursed again. Still, I hope this letter finds you well, and that it hasn't been too much trouble, reading it.
Yours very sincerely,
Rosella
