我們比較懶, 昨天才在兒子的督促下裝扮好聖誕樹. 七歲的兒子一邊給 Santa 寫信, 一邊說: "我應該給 Santa 一個禮物". 說完顛顛地跑到自己的房間找出一個小小的鈴噹. 他說: "這個 Jingo Bell 是給 Santa 掛在 Ring Deer 上的." 之後認認真真地完成了給 Santa 的信:
Dear Senta,
This bell is for you. Senta, Look under the Christmas tree to find it. Hope you'll like it. Can you answer these questions? How old are you? When were you born? Do you buy or make toys? This is what I want for Christmas, Senta, Bionicle Keetogu.
一開始兒子說起想跟 Senta 要 Bionicle Keetogu ($28.99) 時我對他說你向 Senta 要便宜一點的禮物, 這樣 Senta 可以用錢給更多的小朋友買禮物. 這個爸爸媽媽可以給你買. 兒子小頭搖的象貨朗鼓. 他說:" Senta 不買禮物. 他有 millions elves make toys for him." 我說: "Oh, 是這樣的啊". 於是乎有了兒子 Do you buy or make toys? 的問題. 兒子也問過我們: "真有 Senta?" 我們說:"是的!"

United States HOH OHO
What a nice surprise xxx!
Rudolph loves the bell very much. He just asked me to say 'Hi!' to you!
HO!! Ho!! ho!! So you'd like to know how old Santa is? Well, let's see. I guess I'm as old as my nose and a wee bit older than Mrs. Claus!! (And that's all Mrs. Claus will let me say about that! *wink*). Do I buy or make toys? I make a lot toys all year long. Elves are great helpers. I also buy toys with money donated by people all over the world.
Well bless my whiskers, XXX! I still remember bringing you your Christmas present Bionicle Keetongu. I hope you are getting excited about Christmas. I hear you've been a REALLY REALLY good boy. (Of course, you won't mind if I do a little checking, will you?)
Oh! Oh! I guess I better go because one of the elves just unplugged the Northern Lights again! Take care XXX and only 13 more sleeps until Christmas!!
Merry Christmas XXX With All My Heart
