Dear Santa,
We know how busy you are.
After all you need to know what
presents we want, what presents are available, and whether
we have been good or bad.
Please do
not think we are being greedy. We are sending you
our friendly letters to ask if you would please think of us when you
do your holiday shopping.
Do you still have elves make the toys or do you
sometimes go
to "Toys R Us"?
Please
think of us when you are working.
Thank you,
Practically Perfect Penguins
First Graders
