Letter to PinkSanta

Dear PinkSanta,

I guess, you are very disappointed by my behaviour yesterday. I know, I was supposed to guard your pink cookies from thieves and what did I do instead? I have eaten them myself, all of them. I know, that was wrong and that this should be a letter of apology for my behaviour. But to be honest, I am not sorry for what I did. I simply cannot be. Please allow me to tell you why...

I have been a loyal Christmas elf and servant in your team for meanwhile three hundred years. For one century I have been honoured to being a member of your PinkSanta's Christmas Guard. Fifty years ago my dream came true, when you constituted me PinkSanta's Cookies Guard. In all those fifty years I had always protected your precious cookies from getting stolen and eaten by greedy mice, greedier Christmas elves and even Temoc, the greediest reindeer I have ever met. In all those years I became very curious about what made these pink cookies so special that they were watched. Sometimes, when you had fetched some of them and had went back into your room, I would hear you giggle behind the closed door. In all that time, I had never even touched your cookies - well, until yesterday.

I had been on my guard for ten hours, when another Christmas elf made some inquiry and distracted me. It was only for a minute or two, but when I looked back to the cookie plate to my greatest surprise I saw a mouse flying slightly above the plate giggling. Of course I immediately told her to leave, which she did. But this incident left me wondering and even more curious. Looking closely at the cookies I noticed some pink icing crumbs on the plate and I do not know how, but I somehow thought, I might just eat one of these crumbs. So I did and suddenly I had a strange feeling of being light as a feather and happy; and I had the urge to have another try. I did eat the other icing crumbs and started to feel like I would take off the very next moment. I wanted more and, yes, I did eat one of your cookies, which by the way are really delicious. Oh, it was so awesome. I actually lifted off and started to fly. I was so happy, I giggled involuntarily. But to my dismay this state ended quite soon and I sank back to the ground. At that point, all I wanted was to go on flying and so I ended up eating all the cookies in one fell swoop. Oh, such a wonderful feeling. I was flying around and was busy trying out some flight figures while giggling, when all at once you and some of the other Christmas elves entered the room. I am sorry, that I started to laugh, but the way all of you gazed at me in sheer astonishment and open mouthed while I was flying above your heads seemed so funny to me, that I had to giggle and laugh.

I know, I surely will be cast out of the guard and maybe you will ban me from your town altogether, but still, I am not sorry that I have eaten your pink cookies. I have never experienced such a wonderful feeling before and I will remember this day ever after. This has been the most awesome Christmas of my entire life and I would like to thank you for this. And, not to enrage you even more, but, is there any possibility, that I might have some more of these godly cookies? I would so love to fly again.

Yours sincerely

Brambly, former PinkSanta's Cookies Guard, presumably former Christmas elf
