Father Christmas Letters: 1933

[Guinevere]

I am hopelessly lagging behind, as usual, but still trying to follow and post some of my thoughts .

What made me chuckle is FC's remark to Priscilla in the first letter:

I send love to all of you, and a kiss for Priscilla - tell her my beard is quite nice and soft, as I have never shaved.

The goblins (and the red gnomes too) are really very small, much smaller than I imagine the goblins in The Hobbit.

two statements I found interesting:

I had to blow my golden trumpet (which I have not done for many years) to summon all my friends.

this reminds me of the silver horn Merry was given and used in The Scouring of the Shire.

originally written by Polar Bear:And Father Christmas. I wish I could draw or had time to try - you have no idea what the old man can doo! Lightning and fierworks and thunder of guns!

Sounds almost like Gandalf, doesn't it!
