The forgotten Letter (Christmas project)

Alice is an orphan, an unusual one at that. She has spent her whole life going from one orphanage to the next spending more time in an airport than in a bed. So when presented that if all goes well she'll be staying somewhere permanently she's very excited, but one there too shy to speak to anyone but the director. She takes notice of a group of very close children withing the orphanage, envious of their connections and overall closeness, unawares of their desire to befriend her until they whisk her away to their 'secret base' quickly ingratiating her into the group. When December rolls in they write their letters to Santa, but of course spending the season in an airport every previous year she has no idea and one explained is so exited she spends the entire month writing her letter, but it is forgotten by the director and the post man refuses to take it with the others, Alice is heart-broken until her new friends declare they'll take it themselves.
