Thursday Dec 23, 12.24am: Dear Santa


Dear Santa,

please, please, please. can i have the premiership title for Chelsea this year? I've been a very good all year. I don't talk back to my mother anymore. And I haven't argued with my dad all year.

I have done most of my homework dutifully. I studied hard for my exam.

I've eaten all my greens, and I clear up all my toys after playing with them everytime before I go to bed.

It's not much to ask for, in fact it a comfortable thing for you to get, as I don't actually need it until may so you can have one person less to worry about on Christmas day. Actually, if you could deliver it sometime in april, that would be ideal and would save a lot of unnecessary stress.

I know you must get a lot of letters like this, but I really think this year you could deliver this one tiny thing. Please do not put this one on top of the 10 letter high pile you've received from me asking for the same thing since I've been watching Chelsea. I'm assuming that you have ignored me every year because I'd really hate to think you were actually on your way to me and somehow managed to get directed wrongly to north London, or round Islington to Manchester. It's to London SW6 that I'd like you to go. As I say early April would be ideal.

Don't worry about finding me specifically, in fact I would suggest if you go to the club office and ask for a Mr J. Mourinho, or a Mr J. Terry, either one will be happy to receive this gift on my behalf. They'll let me know it's arrived soon enough.

I'm sure you are getting other letters asking for other trophies as well, but I am not going to be greedy, this one thing will do for me. Of course if you could see yourself clear to making sure that Arsenal and Manchester United get nothing this year that would be good too. I know you wear a red and white suit, but I'm sure that is just a tradition and deep down you have no sympathy for these teams.

So Santa, Mr Claus, Father Christmas, Sir. Please can you do this one tiny little thing for me?

Love,
Edward, Singapore.
