Dear Santa,
This is Isobel Stevens. You can call me Izzie. I am a good girl this year. You can ask my mommy's friends: Uncles John, Dave, Mark, Bill... They always bring me candies. They say I am a good girl because I am pretty like my mother.
Dear Santa, please don't laugh at me. This year, I want two things. I want some paint and I want an oven. Please, Santa, I am not greedy. I only want to make everyone happy. I like to be happy.
I live in a trailer park and our trailer is very old. I cannot ask for a big Christmas tree because there is no space. But if you send me some paint, I can paint our trailer green. I am sure it will be very pretty.
I want a min-oven, because I really love baking. Every time I go to Granny's place to make chocolate cupcakes, my mommy will be very happy. Granny says this is because my mommy can see more people when I am not at home. I think Granny is lying. I think it's because mommy likes my cake.
If I have my own oven, I can bake at home. Maybe I can teach mommy too. My neighbor Clementine told me the way to a man's heart is the stomach. Maybe if mommy bakes, she can get me a new daddy. Clementine told me people with a daddy do not live in a trailer park. Is that really true?
Anyway, I love Christmas. It is a beautiful holiday. Izzie likes everything that is beautiful.
Thank you Santa.
Izzie
