Letters to Santa

Its that time of year...time to write a letter to Santa. The boys of course took this for the very serious occasion it is. I mean the chance to write directly to Santa to ask for what you want, can not be taken lightly.

Both boys asked polite questions..
They went over their good behaviour to make sure Santa had it noted..

They both drew a picture on the back of Santa handing them a gift. I mean you never know if its going to be words or pictures that gets your point across. Better to cover all the bases.

And then time for the gift wish list.

I was actually a little impressed they have both had lists that could have fit on a scroll, the kind that drops to the ground and rolls across the floor. But we have had several conversations about "how many toys do kids really need". And that its best to make sure there is enough to go around for everyone. So when it came down to the actual writing they had both narrowed it down to three things.

Once you write the letter you have to make sure Santa gets it. So it was off to the Post Office, where they have a special box set up just for letters to Santa.

You can't beat special delivery right to the North Pole.

To be on the extra extra safe side they want to also go see "Santa's helper" at the mall. They know Santa is very busy this time of year so he has a lot of Santa helpers. But sitting on a helpers lap and giving him your wish list is almost as good as talking to Santa himself. Between that and the letter they are covered :)
