John R.R. Tolkien – Letters from Father Christmas: 1925

A Letter from the year 1925 from a collection Letters from Father Christmas by John R.R. Tolkien. Narrated by Julia Shuvalova

John R.R. Tolkien composed Letters from Father Christmas from 1920 till 1943, which makes 2020 the 100th anniversary of this great book. I’ve already produced several recordings of its Russian translation, and for LCJ I’ve chosen the letter from 1925. However, it was quite difficult to upload the video to the post. In the end, this was the only way to share with you the pressie Mr Nicholas Christmas, Mr J.R.R. Tolkien and I prepared for my readers who celebrate Christmas today. I haven’t got a pet Polar Bear, and there have been no goblins in sight, but I still couldn’t upload the video directly to the site. Thank you, Instagram, for helping out.

Father Christmas hurries to Tolkien’s children in 1920

The letter from the year 1925 from Letters from Father Christmas tells the story of the Polar Bear attempting to rescue the Father Christmas’s hood from the North Pole, only to break the pole which in turn fell on the roof of the house, broke it, the snow fell through the hole and spoilt a lot of children’s presents.

So, please take care, and may God and His blessings be with you.

Yours,

Father Nicholas Christmas and Julia

Have a Very Merry Christmas

My dear readers,

I’m not Father Christmas, but just like him I have been dreadfully busy. I’ve been studying a lot this year, and I’m yet to finish some voiceover and translation projects. Here’s the reason why, in spite of my best efforts, I’ve not been able to write any more Christmas posts. So I shall use this opportunity to suggest you to read some past Xmas posts:

Christmas in Painting: Pavel Filonov

Christmas in Literature and Film: Gianni Rodari

Christmas in Painting: Diego Velazquez

Please bear with me while I’m also trying to bring you a small pressie – apparently the snow is so thick that my Internet connection refuses to upload it.

A very merry Christmas
