We all know that Santa favors the kids who have been nice all year, and he’s not so fond of the naughty. Item Santa received a politely-written letter from a special little girl who is definitely on the big guy’s nice list. Not only was she writing to Santa for herself, but in regards to her sisters’ Christmas presents as well.
“Dear Santa,” she wrote. “I know that Christmas is coming and my sisters are ready.”
And because her sisters always fight over sharing their toys, she asked him to bring some new toys to them for Christmas. She suggested some dolls and a doll play house.
“It is not for me,” the girl pleaded.
However, she did mention that she would like a pack of slime or some makeup, but she wasn’t sure.
“Have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year’s,” she wrote. “And on New Year’s, it’s my birthday. Thank you!”
Do you think you could help Santa a little and make this girl’s simple wishes come true?
