Whoops, She Did It Again
Jane (8) wrote her letter to Santa today, which turned into QUITE the manifesto because she decided to include letters from our pets as well. (Click to enlarge and read or read my translation under each letter.)
Dear Santa, Thank you for the nice presents you gave me last year. I wanted to thank you for ALL the presents you gave me for whole 8 years before I tell you what I want for my 8th Christmas. I love everything you give me, for every Christmas. I am going to be honest now: I've been a little bit bad this year, especially to Ana. I apologise. I just forgot this time of year was coming. I really enjoy you coming every year. Not like last year, please don't come while my parents are up. I want it to be a surprise for THEM, too.
(I have no idea why she says that but with Jane, as she says, "I have a memory like a hawk.")
(Right.)
You are so jolly. Thank you for making this time of year extra special, special, special. Sincerely, yours truly, Jane Cooper.
PS: On my list all the pets will write what THEY want. Okay?

1. The Unicorn Webkinz

Syd's list...ohh....
And I think she has Scout in a nutshell (or nutcase, as it were), there.
Sweet Jane.....
C'mon Santa!
I totally love these lists. And the fact that she's thoughtful enough to write lists for the pets, AND that she only squeezes in a couple of things for herself in them.
She's precious. I hope that Walter will write letters to me and to Santa, maybe starting next year.
I'll ask Santa for that this year.
1. Letters from Walter. Like Barb gets from Jane.
Lin
Very sweet.
I don't know what made me cry harder, the thought of "Peace on Earth after" Syd is gone, or the thought of what was going through sweet Jane's head when she wrote that. Bless them both!
(And after that, I think Santa can forgive her for being "a little bad".)
