A Christmas card for dear Aunt Flo.
[Sounds of opening the envelope to read the card]
Dear Aunt Flo,
We wish we had said thank you for the gift.
And I wish I could have visited you more.
And I wish I had brought you a Christmas present.
Please forgive us and set us free.
[Sounds of closing the card]
Love,
The Ghosts

Learning their lesson
Those poor ghosts! If only they had been kinder and more generous to their Aunt Flo. They're trapped until they can make amends!
Can you learn a lesson from them by being generous and posting your own Christmas card?
Your challenge!
Make and write a snowy and sparkly Christmas card. Who will you send it to?
If you like, why not make one for the ghosts and post it on social media @MuseumofLondon?
Have you delivered your card? That’s a shilling from the ghosts for you.
Great work! One shilling closer to a turkey or pudding for your Christmas dinner...
