  Amazon.co.uk: Letters from Father Christmas: Books: J.R.R. Tolkien,Baillie Tolkien   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Tolkien's love for his kids is evident in the care he took to create these letters, and the affection that comes from "Father Christmas" that is written in.
Tolkien's old-school style of writing is a bit formal and very correct, but he tosses in comments of exasperation, amusement, and in the last letter, a sort of sad resignation that children will grow up.
Tolkien also sprinkles the stories with things that his kids were probably intrigued by, like prehistoric cave paintings, fireworks, and a comic bear who causes all kinds of mayhem.

 J.R.R. Tolkien, Letters from Father Christmas
While this book does not directly connect to Tolkien's Middle Earth mythos (which has once again become popular with the release of The Lord of the Rings films), it is rather simple for anyone versed in that mythos to recognize the origin of some of its characters in these letters.
Tolkien's stories are still synonymous with the bedroom I had at that age and the gaping closet that surely housed Orcs.
I truly believed that these were letters from Father Christmas to the Tolkien children (keep in mind that this Father Christmas is not by any means a Christian-based being, but rather a sort of friendly teller of tales about what happens during the course of the year at the North Pole).
