&lt;p&gt;Dear Father Christmas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I haven&amp;rsquo;t written to you since I was a little girl.  I know that your specialty is children and specifically bringing toys for all the good boys and girls across the globe on Christmas Eve.  You&amp;rsquo;re a jolly fellow and there&amp;rsquo;s even a popular song written about you called &amp;ldquo;Jolly Old St. Nicholas.&amp;rdquo;  Since you are in the &amp;ldquo;happiness&amp;rdquo; business, it occurred to me that you might be someone to ask for help  with the crises we face in the world today.  When I wrote to you a long time ago, my needs were small but these days, they are big.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
