Goodbye Sam...

Sam says good-bye in the morning.

For those who have been following Sam's adventures with us, here is what his letter to the girls says:

Today’s my last day,

I must say good-bye,

tonight I must go,

to the North Pole I’ll fly.

Soon Santa will be here

with gifts and good cheer,

and I will be back

the same time next year.

Thank you so much

for letting me be

a part of your

wonderful, loving family!

I've had so much fun

helping decorate the tree,

hanging up your socks,

and joining the nativity.

Santa is expecting me

at the North Pole tonight

so that I can help him get ready

for Christmas Eve night.

You are both sweet girls

and full of good cheer.

Don’t forget,

I’ll see you next year!

Merry Christmas!

Love your elf,

SAM

PS: Santa will lift my magic

for just a minute or three

After you’re done reading this letter

it will be okay to hug me.

When you have finished

with all your goodbyes

put me back where you found me

and I will find my way to the North Pole tonight.

Can’t wait to see you next Christmas!

XOXOXOXO
