Dear Santa,

| December 3, 2011

I would like TOYS for Christmas!  Specifically, an orange snake, an apron, and a car.  That is what Sam always says she wants anyway.  Yesterday, we took Sam to the mall to see Santa Claus.  I told her that I had called him on the phone and she was really lucky because he said he would come all the way from the North Pole just to see her if she was planning to get all dressed up to come and see him that day.  Sam was so excited to see Santa.  She smiled the whole time and couldn’t wait to sit on his lap to tell him what she wanted.  She got kind of shy and wouldn’t talk, but I made sure that I told him for her so that she gets what she wants this Christmas.  She is on his good list after all!
