Dear Lily,
I understand that you are young.
This was only your second Christmas.
We did a LOT of cramming between Thanksgiving and Christmas, learning about everything from elves to reindeer to snowmen to Christmas tress to Santa to baby Jesus (more on that one in another post).
You did an awesome job, because you are a brainiac with a scary-good memory.
Apparently, however, we forgot to emphasize that Mr. Kringle needs a LIST of items that you want for Christmas BEFORE Christmas.
Jolly old St. Nick cannot always read minds.
Christmas morning, Lily, is not the time to let everyone know that you desperately hope that one of the packages contains a [Toy Story] big Jessie toy with a removable hat.
Because maybe, just maybe, Santa did not realize that you had your heart set on a cowgirl of your very own.
I’m just saying.
Love,
Mommy
(honorary ambassador for Santa)
