Dear Santa Claus,

I am eight years old this year…I will be nine next month.  I want to thank you for my wonderful walking doll, I named her Angela, she is a beautiful as an angel.  I have taken very good care of her and I sleep with her every night.

If you have time would you bring me a furry foot rug for my room?  My Momma has painted it a really nice color.  When we were at J. C. Penney’s I saw a really nice rug shaped like a foot.  If you can bring me that rug I would put it beside my bed so my feet will feel it the first thing every morning.

By the way there are lots of kids that say you are not real.  But I think you are.  My grandma says you are magic and as long as we believe in magic, magic is real.

Have a nice night traveling.  I hope you don’t have bad weather.

Linda
