Many people still remember the magic of Father Christmas from1 when2 they were children. As parents, they try to keep that magic alive3 for their children for as long as they can4.

来自童年时代的圣诞老人的魔力，很多人(长大以后)还依然记得。为人父母之后，他们也想让自己的孩子尽可能长久地相信这份魔力的存在。

That is why5 Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book for those who6 regard Christmas as a special time of year. The man who7 wrote these letters is one of the most famous names in English literature—

J．R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings8. The letters were Tolkien's way of keeping Father Christmas alive9 for his four children, over a period of more than twenty years.

有些人把圣诞节视为每年的特别时光，那就是为什么对于他们，《圣诞老人的来信》是再合适不过的书了。写这些信的人是英国文坛的一位巨匠——《魔戒》的作者J. R. R. 托尔金。在二十多年的时间

里，托尔金以写信这种方式让他的四个孩子相信圣诞老人真的存在。

Every Christmas, an envelope with a North Pole stamp10 arrived. It was addressed to Tolkien's children. Who could it be from? The children must have been very excited as11 they opened it. Inside, they would find a handwritten letter from Father Christmas. The letters were also beautifully illustrated—each must have taken12 its true author, Tolkien, a long time to complete.

每年圣诞节，托尔金的家里都会收到一封贴有北极邮票的信，收信人是托尔金的孩子们。会是谁寄来的呢？孩子们打开时一定非常兴奋。他们会看到里面有一封圣诞老人的亲笔信。信里还配着精美的插图——它们真正的作者托尔金一定花了很长时间去完成每一幅画作。　　

The letters told wonderful stories about Father Christmas's life and13 adventures at the North Pole. A regular character in the letters was Polar Bear, who14 once climbed the North Pole (an actual pole in this case) and fell through the roof of Father Christmas's house. In another letter, Father Christmas complained about how15 he could not stop his helpers playing games with the toys instead of wrapping them up. Interestingly, the letters did not contain the usual warnings to children that16 they might not receive their presents if17 they were not good. The letters did18, however, change as19 Tolkien's children got older：

这些信里讲述了圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的一个角色是北极熊。有一次，它爬上北极(在信中，北极是一根真的杆子)，结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在另一封信中，圣诞老人抱怨说，他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来，反而拿着玩具玩起了游戏，他怎么也没法让他们停下来。值得关注的是，信里并没有那些常见的对孩子的警告，比如表现不好就可能得不到
