[sleigh bells jingling]

[Jesper] Letters.

You don't really write many these days, do you?

But I bet there's one you never forget.

Send it off to a certain plump guy in a red suit

and, provided you've kept your act together

more or less,

he'll drop off a toy or two.

And yet, no one seems to wonder

how the whole thing got started in the first place.

This is a story about letters, and it began...

with this one.

[festive music plays]

[bell ringing]

[whistle blows]

[cadets grunting]

[Drill Sergeant] ...74, 75, 76...

- [grunting continues] - ...77, 78, 79,

- 80! - Drill Sergeant, sir!

All the way from the top! Dispatch for one of your cadets!
