This time, a month away, Dear Jordy, your Mama will be BURSTING...you will just about be touching down in Dunedin, and I bet, all you will want to see something fun!!( you won't know that's me yet,)
so here's your wee bike which I'm sure will make you feel a wee bit at home. It's got wheels after all! It's also got a contraption to magically turn into a scooter too!
And then you'll see your Dad's favourite things. This is a very treasured collection Jordy, saved all these years, especially for you.
Now, I know you're a 2000 something wee boy, so even though your Dad's old favs will be fun, you'll be wanting some bells & whistles, so there's a few toys that friends have been keeping for special occassions ( that's you!) Your Mamma even bought batteries for this collection! When your Daddy was a wee boy battery toys weren't even invented. Well, if they were, I pretended they weren't!
We have been very lucky wee Jordy cos some of my friends think they may have some more children some day, so they have saved their favourite things and wee reap their hourding. Here's a really fun duvet cover and I will put this on Finnie's bed just in case you don't like the cot that's waiting for you.
But, I think you will Jordy. It's really good. Promise. Although it's a wee bit smaller than what you are used to it's very cosey & that's what you need here 'cos you never know what the weather's going to bring. Our temperatures are so much colder than what you are used to.
Anyway, this wee cot will make you feel as "snug as a bug" ( that's an NZ saying )
and we have snuggy pyjamas & hats & boots & jackets too. You will love being wrapped in "layers". That's what we do here to manage the changes in weather. It will be so much fun to introduce you to climate themes. Your Mama is very good at "all weather picnics"
Tell Mummy & Daddy "no worries" ( that's another NZ saying ) we will have it all sorted.
Some of the things here, you will find a bit strange, for sure: Like you will have blankets, & you can go straight outside without going in a lift!!!! yes, you can!!!! & wait till you walk up Mama's hill...that's really wierd.
But some of the things will be exactly the same. Everyone making sure you are getting your "tucker" ( that's another NZ saying)
Here's your throne wee Jordy. It has pride of place. Your Mamma can't imagine right now all the cooking & meals that will go on, but you can be sure they will. And you can watch it all from here so you won't miss out on ' all the going's on" ( that's another NZ saying )
Your Mamma is preparing Xmas Cake.Your very First cos last year you were too wee... & couldn't even eat big things!
One year perhaps you'll be here to lick the bowl! That's the best bit.
Not long now wee Jordy & Guess What?
The best thing is that Santa knows EXACTLY where to find you..

Dear Mama Maree,
I just have one question regarding the Christmas accommodation arrangements. Will there be room for Sheepie in my cot? Or will he have to spend the night in a manger like Baby Jesus? He takes up quite a bit of room you see, but don't worry, he is toilet trained and doesn't need to be walked.
Thank goodness I can spend Christmas in your house as I was worried how Santa would get my presents into our apartment in Singapore - we have no chimmneys! I sure hope you have a chimmney. If not I'm sure Uncle Nick can build one that is Santa-sized!
Okay, I guess that is all for now. I have some shape-sorting and peg-hammering to do.
Love you lots and see you in a month!
xxoo
Jordy (who has been good all year, Santa!)
Dear Jordy,
No worries Jordy, of course there will be room for your wee mate Sheepie & I have a wee pram here if you want to take him out & about. We certainly do have a chimney & Santa somehow manages to negotiate the Gas Fire. He's magic you see & NZ is the first country in the world he comes too so you will probably get the best stuff, especially as you have been such a good boy. xx
