Dear Santa

A Letter from a Student, age 6

Dear Santa,

This is what Jesus wants for Christmas-kids to be good. And for the kids to be nice to each other. And always don't say cuss words. Because that is not good for God. And it is not very good. So you better not do that or Santa will not give you a present. But what if they do and then Jesus will not like it? OK, so you better not do that.

Mmmmm...very coherent...ANYWAYS, when will you be off? I have goodies to bring over and I'm not leaving them on your doorstep lest your roomate or a stray dog get into them.

I love the picture of Santa that's so good. oh to be a kid again....I can dream, or just read Becky and Katie's blogs!
Becky feel free to leave goodies on my doorstep, I don't think my roomate would mind, actually she'd love it and so would I!

That is one smart kid. He has it all figured out. My favorite Santa keeps me informed of what kids are asking for these days. Says they all want cell phones, and he tells them "NO". These are small kids, and they don't like it when he tells them he won't bring them a cell phone. Of course they want to know why, and he tells them he doesn't bring cell phones...it is up to their parents to do that. Some kids already have them, and just want to upgrade to a camera phone!! Whatever happened to Betsy-Wetsy and GI Joe?

Friday, Becky. Friday. 48 more hours. But, I'm not bitter or anything. I'm not bitter we are in school until December 22. Not one bit.

And nuts can't even begin to describe it, Katie. Bribes don't work, threats don't work. They are off the walls, and it isn't pretty.

I gotta tell you about Logan's conversation with "Bush". Bush asked him if Santa was bringing him presents this year and Logan said, "Yeah, they're already under the tree." (We say the gifts are from Santa, but we aren't pushing the issue...the kid is bound to figure it out any minute!) So then a few minutes later, Bush asked if Logan will stay up all night to wait up for Santa. Logan was like, "Uh, nooooooooo....he's been here already and I know how much I got." We all about died laughing.

Is that the same Bush that worked with jeff at the DOT Mandy?

Mandy said...

One in the same, Becky!

Amanda, that is hilarious! I bet Bush had no idea how to respond.
