Create a finished, printable Christmas letter from Santa to a dog, portrait 3:4, with generous home-printer-safe margins and an aged-ivory paper background. Use only these exact words, with the line breaks and hierarchy described; do not add any other lettering: small letterhead “NORTH POLE”; prominent greeting “Dear Max,”; warm, clearly readable letter text “the elves say you were a very good boy and only chewed one shoe this year.”; cheerful emphasis “Treats are on the way!”; and Santa’s handwritten sign-off “Love, Santa.” Preserve every word and punctuation exactly. Make “Dear Max,” the most noticeable text, with the rest of the letter set large enough for a child to read easily. Give the letterhead a modest, deep-red engraved look. Use a custom, friendly storybook serif for the letter: rounded, open letterforms, sturdy strokes, gentle contrast, generous spacing, and dark evergreen ink. Set “Love, Santa.” in a legible, warm red handwritten script. Keep the body spacious and uncluttered. Compose as a real keepsake letter: centered North Pole letterhead near the top; greeting and letter text in a broad, left-aligned column through the middle; the treats line set apart just below; signature near the lower left. In the lower-right area, draw a small, charming generic golden-brown dog wearing a green collar beside one softly chewed red shoe and a little wrapped treat parcel. Keep the illustration secondary to the words. Add only a few small red and green paw prints as scattered corner accents, leaving clear space around all text. Use restrained pine-green, cranberry-red, warm cream, and touches of antique gold. Fine paper grain, delicate red rule and tiny evergreen flourishes; cozy, hand-finished Christmas stationery, sweet and personal, not crowded. No religious imagery, brand characters, extra words, or text over the illustration.
