Dear Santa,
It's been a while since I've sent a letter to the North Pole. This year, I'm asking for something special: A new job! But not just any old job, Santa, I want a career I'll adore. I know, that's a tall order, but I believe, Santa. I truly believe.
I've been a very good employee, Santa. Plus, you've surely noticed me working to help you out. For one thing, I wrote The Society of Seasonal Secretkeepers, just to help keep your magic alive, even when older kids find Christmas losing its beautiful magic. On top of that, I've devoted the last two years to marketing solar energy, doing my best to teach people how they can help the North Pole stay frozen. Surely I'm on the nice list!
So what am I looking for? My dream job would be:
If you could help me find a new place to land, that would be swell, Santa! I hear some of the elves have connections outside the Arctic Circle, perhaps they could put in a good word. And maybe, just maybe, a hiring manager has written you a letter asking for an employee just like me!
Merry Christmas, and all my love to you and Mrs. Claus,
Emily

I've been a very good employee, Santa. Plus, you've surely noticed me working to help you out.

On top of that, I've devoted the last two years to marketing solar energy, doing my best to teach people how they can help the North Pole stay frozen. Surely I'm on the nice list!
So what am I looking for? My dream job would be:
- A career that will benefit from my creativity and outside-the-box thinking. I'd like to work for imaginative people who believe the most memorable way to make a point is to gain trust and tell their business's spellbinding story - and to do it like nobody else ever thought to do.
- A workshop that prioritizes delivering North-Pole-like enchantment through a magical customer experience.
- People who like to ho-ho-ho, who are smart and friendly, who care about their jobs and the success of the company, have each others' backs, and build genuine, warm and fuzzy friendships over steaming mugs of hot cocoa topped with plenty of marshmallows.
- Head elves that earn excellence from their employees through high standards, respect, and support of life/work balance.
- Talented worker elves who collaborate and share knowledge to reach big goals, and to whose success I can contribute my own skills and mojo.
- Supervisors who believe in my personal magic, and ask a little bit more of me than I'm qualified to give so I can be invigorated by the scramble of learning, and experience the joy of living up to the challenge - much like that time you asked Rudolph to lead the sleigh for the very first time!
- A place where I can be myself. A place where people know the most genius ideas are sometimes the wackiest. A place where I can make people smile, and say things like, "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing," and maybe even propose following the advice of Scott Dikkers, founder of The Onion, when he told a room full of marketers to create brand magic by doing "the most outrageous thing you can do that's within the character of your brand."
If you could help me find a new place to land, that would be swell, Santa! I hear some of the elves have connections outside the Arctic Circle, perhaps they could put in a good word. And maybe, just maybe, a hiring manager has written you a letter asking for an employee just like me!
Merry Christmas, and all my love to you and Mrs. Claus,
