Dear Santa,

How are you doing?

Is your reindeers OK?

I been a great guy this year. I go to Waldorf School now. I�m taking swimming lessons. I�m good at dat. I�ve been good this year. Extra super good!

I do like Christmas.

I�m thinking about what to say.

Dear Santa,

I�d really like some stuff for Christmas. I have tried to be swell.

You live in the North Pole, Right?

Here�s my list that I was going to tell you. Thank you Mr. Santa.

May I please, have:

A copy of Dance Dance Revolution Max. May I please have the new one. I think it is on the PlayStation 2. May I please have it hooked up on Christmas day after I open it?

May I please have it with the lights flashing with the rainbow colors and the arrows on it and not use the regular controller instead? And I don�t need a TV with it�please.

Rollerskates and pads, please? No. Wait. Change that to a skateboard please. I�ll wear my helmet and pads each time I try it so�s I can be safe. I promise that I�ll have that stuff on and I�ll sleep well every night so I sleep well and get rest so I can use it.

I�d like new shoes please, with the board and I�ll learn to use them together.

I want new books please. We have lots of books, but we are already reading them again sometimes and they are good but new books are new. And I, please may I have a costume for Halloween next year?

I�d like to have a lab coat on, please.

I promise.

Please may I have a picture for my room? I�d like a neat BettyBoopBoopPeeDoop picture. Please, may I have it?

Please may I learn how to use my alarm on my cd clock? I�ll stay in bed to use it. We can make it for just after the crack of dawn.

You can pick some other stuff if you like.

Oh. And the stockings. I�d love them sooo much if you filled mine.

Thank you for being a jolly gift giving guy. Hey! That�s �literation, Dad.

And you have a good night.

And you have a good Christmas too. That�s it.

Do fly carefully, OK?

Call me [KiddoNickNameHere].

That�s it. Hey! He checks on us.

We�re done.
