Planning Ahead

Someone wants to ensure she gets everything on her list! We received this letter on Dec 2!

Dear Santa/Mama and Pappy,

Christmas is coming! Tis the season to be naughty tralalalala lalalala. Oops. Wrong one.

Every Christmas, you and Amazon, I mean your elves, get presents for young humans. They write letters to you pleading for loot, loot and more loot. Yet very few notice that Christmas isn’t only for loot. In this family, it’s for reading your Kobo from 5 am to 7 am because you’re so excited in the morning and can’t go back to sleep but aren’t allowed to come downstairs until 7 am. Then, we peek in our stockings, have a hearty breakfast, spend some time together and other things. What I’m trying to say is, I’m not just writing this letter to tell you what I want. It’s also for how much I love you (Mommy and Daddy), thanking and some questions.

First of all, I thank you for encouraging me, helping me and spending time with me. Mommy, thank you for showing me how to overwater plants… I mean water plants and fertilize them. Daddy, thanks for letting me help you with the porch. I love helping you build or take apart big things. Also, I enjoyed making Malasian foods with Mommy. The food turned out not burnt and very yummy! I love you both so much. I love you times infinity. How does this work? I love you twice as much as you love me, but you love me twice as much as I love you.

Some people say, “Where there’s good there’s bad.” You can also swap that around and say, “Where there’s bad there’s good.” Because this Christmas seems less fun because we can’t visit relatives, we want to add some good. Felix and I have been trying hard to make this Christmas an especially jolly one.

Santa always works hard to get presents for us, but what about him? What do you want for Christmas? Also, can you please tell Rudolf that I hope his cold goes away soon?

This year, I’ve been really good. I bet every kid who sends you a letter says that. But, like I said before, where there’s good, there’s bad. I was good this year but there were also bad times. Luckly, there were more good times than bad times.

Finally, this Christmas I would like bigger construction glasses and a soft bag for them. Why? Because my other ones are scratched and too small for me.You may be reluctant to want to give

me new glasses because my old ones are all scratched up. That’s why I would like a soft bag with them. It would prevent scratches and other damage. Also, a carnivorous plant would be cool. It would help get rid of fruit flies. We would learn how the plant eats. When a stem dies, we could cut it up and see if there are any dead bugs inside. Cool right? Another thing I would find useful would be bike gloves. My other ones are too small. The gloves would help me grip my handlebars. This will make it less likely that I fall off of my bike. Also, when we put small gloves underneath our bigger ones, it is a good temperature. Finally, probably the things I would like most are Calico Critters. Here are the ones I would find fun to play with. The Hopscotch Rabbit Grandparents and the Ellwoods Elephant Family and Twins. Lastly, the Outback Koala Family. These toys will be very fun. I could sew more, use them to make little poses (like I did with some smurfs once), take a break to calm down and have fun with Felix! I could also make more cars and structures using my Goldieblox sets.

Merry Christmas and try not to set your teacher’s hair on fire (If he/she has any)
