Santa letters from kids. . . (Vanity)

I thought it might be nice to share the Christmas wishes of small children this Christmas Holiday. If you care to partake this thread is for such heartwarming sharing of the letters and stories from Freepers’ children and grandchildren or others they may have heard about.

I’ll start with my seven year old granddaughter Delaney’s letter to Santa. She has just gotten a black and white kitten which she has named "Lord Lightning Smitten the Super Kitten Kaboom Llama Long aka Mr. Meepers" familiarly known as "Smitty". . . Who joined the household’s other two cats, Kaze (Japanese for "wind") and Termite (called "Termy”), and a seventeen year old tropical fish named "Gobo.”

Her mother, my elder daughter, told her she needed to tell Santa she’d been a good girl all year, but Delaney said "I can’t tell him that! I’ve had a couple of slip ups! He’ll know!" From the creative spelling, it’s pretty obvious Delaney’s mom is teaching her to read the way we taught her, by the phonics method. Incidentally, she made her mom buy Christmas stockings for each of the pets, fish included, this year. Here is her Santa letter ("101" on some of the items I’m told is "LOL," a toy brand.):

Adorable. Each kitty has his own list.

Our youngest granddaughter, who is 2, proceeded to tell Santa that she wants a peacock for Christmas, much to the dismay of her parents. Luckily, one of the aunties found a stuffed one, so Santa will come through.

You could serve turkey for dinner and tell her it’s a peacock, no?

When Delaney’s Mom was two her Christmas list was a fire engine and a lizard. So we got her a 10” plastic hand painted lizard and a pull toy fire engine which made her ecstatic along with other wrapped mom and dad toys and clothes. She still has “Wizard Lizard,” minus its tail, to this day 44 years later. I don’t know what became of the fire engine.

My daughter was in Afghanistan (Air Force) a year+ ago. She said one of the highlights was getting letters from school kids. They were posted on a bulletin board so everyone could enjoy what the kids wrote.

OK then, let’s get this out of the way early in the thread:

WHAT, NO APPLE PRODUCTS?

WHAT, NO APPLE PRODUCTS?

LOL! She already has her own hand-me-down iPad. She’s too young to need an iPhone. . . and she has use of her mom’s iMac.
