Lil C’s Letter to Santa {aged 5}

Dear Santa,

Since you got my order wrong last year, except for the dollhouse, I’m telling daddy to write this down for you so you don’t forget. Plus there’s a LOT of kids who don’t care what they get, but I really do care. So here’s exactly what I want for Christmas:

1. A chihuahua toy that comes with a doll that I saw once with my mom at Target. Or maybe it was Meijers.

2. Modelling clay.

3. The Pumpenator.

4. A camera.

5. A treehouse. And a humungous tree to put it in.

6. The next generation of Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theatre.

7. A glow wand that glows for more than a day. In pink.

8. A new chocolate milk cup.

9. A new head band.

10. An iPad. Or any kind of tablet.

11. A puppy.

12. A rapunzel dress from Tangled. When she’s singing in the tree.

13. Make-up.

14. Littlest Pet Shop. Everything I don’t already own. And my sister’s LPS too ‘cause she doesn’t always share.

15. A BIG post-it pad, like my teacher has at school. The post-its are bigger than ME!

16. New Christmas tree ornaments for the tree in my bedroom.

17. A new toothbrush that spins.

18. A coloring book.

19. Stomp-its.

20. Sparklers.

Love, Lil C

P.S. (Keeping this empty in case I see an ad for something I forgot that I wanted)
