bbabaabaDear Santa,
How things are going at the North Pole? I hope you and your team had enough time to rest from delivering presents in past year.
I am writing to you because I've been so nice and very diligent student that even my father said me to ask you for a present. So I would be very grateful, if you bring me this year a kitten. I was dreaming about it for a long time. I swear, I would care about it!
That's all. Give my "hello" to Mrs. Claus and your hardworking elves-assistants.
I'm looking forward for your coming,
Sincerely yours,
Tim
