Kids these days are much smarter than they used to be. When I was little, my letters to Santa consisted of me listing everything I wanted that year (from one of those dolls whose hair changes color under water to a Gameboy) and then a list of all the reasons I was a good kid. Because I really, really deserved all the things I was asking for.
But the author of this letter above is doing it right. First off, his little note is very conversational. Asking how the reindeer are? Brilliant. Way to get right to Santa’s softspot kid. I like your approach.
