LETTERS TO
SANTA
Dear Santa:
It's me, Sara, and my little
brother Dylan. I've been very
good this year and would like
an Ice Cream Maker ('cause
you forgot that last year!) and a
Skateboard Shannon. My
brother needs toys of any kind `cause he keeps
playing with mine. And you could bring my mom
some new candles and plants to replace the ones
my brother accidentally destroyed.
Thanks.
