Dear Santa

For better, or for worse, our family writes their letters to Santa on Christmas Eve. Each letter is then placed inside a stocking. The kids and I assume that one of the first things that Santa does when he arrives at our house is read the letters and have his cookie and milk snack. We know this because we always find the letters unfolded and in a pile next to the empty cookie plate. Even though Santa might get an occasional request for a gift that the kids have never mentioned through the entire month of December, for the most part it has been a great tradition. I get to keep every letter, instead of having them filed away somewhere in Santa's Office at the North Pole. :)

Now hugs good-night and off to bed.
