I realize that I may be a wee bit biased, but I think No. 2 (3rd grade) has inherited a creative writing streak. I enjoyed his Santa letter so much, I wanted to share it with you. He edited the first draft in school, but I’ll include everything as-is:

Dear, Santa

Brrrr…!! It’s cold! Speaking of cold weather, I can’t wait until Christmas. Here are the top three gifts below. I’ll leave some super sugar sweet cookies with a cup of hot cocoa and a cup of egg nog.

The first thing I’ll like to see under that shiny green tree is a glowing gold glorious ecletric guitar. I will practis realy hard, and if I’m get realy good I could show my family.

Another toy I’ll like to see under the tree that is so shiny you can’t see the ornaments! is a silver as silk skate board. I could grind the curve all the way down, and go to skate parks. It will be awesome.

Finally, I want a sky blue DSI. I could take a picture of my brother, then make him into a girl. Then … I’ll have the guts to show him … and he will chase me. It goes on and on until we start a fight.

I know I’ll have the BEST Christmas ever even if you don’t bring the gifts up above. If you do, you’re awesome! If you don’t, you’re still awesome! But you’re not that awesome.

Your crazy friend,

Me
