22、过的 书了。写这些信的人是英国文坛的一位巨匠指环王(魔戒)的作者 J. R. R. 托尔金。二十多 年来，托尔金以写信的方式让他的四个孩子相信圣诞老人真的存在。 每年圣诞节，托尔金的家里都会收到一封贴有北极邮票的信，收件人是托尔金的孩子们。会是 谁寄过来的呢？孩子们打开时一定很兴奋。 他们会发现里面有一封圣诞老人的亲笔信。 信里还配有 精美的插图它们真正的作者托尔金一定花了很长时间去完成每一幅画作。 这些信里讲述了关于圣诞老人在北极生活和探险的精彩故事。信中经常出现的一个角色是北极 熊，它曾经爬上北极（在信中，北极是一根真的杆子） ，结果摔下来砸穿了圣诞老人家的屋顶。在 另一封信中， 圣诞老人抱怨说， 他那些助手们非但没有把玩具包装起来， 反而拿起玩具玩起了游戏， 他怎么也没法让他们停下来。有趣的是，信中并没有那些常见的对孩子们的警告，比如表现不好就 可能收不到礼物之类的话。不过，随着托尔金的孩子们逐渐长大，信的内容确实发生了一些变化： “但是，如果你发现自己并没有得到很多你想要的东西，有时甚至所获无几，请记住，在这个 圣诞节，世界各地还有很多的贫穷而饥饿的人。” 圣诞老人的来信告诉我们，在圣诞节，除了欣赏圣诞老人、北极熊和其他一些生活在北极 的人物的冒险故事之外， 我们还可以共同体会真正的奉献精神。 托尔金以如此特殊的方式表达了对 孩子们的爱，他可以算得上是真正的圣诞老人。
