My tree in my bedroom (the room I play in) has cool ornaments. One is a dinosaur. The lights on it change to different colors. I hope you can find presents in all the stores, Santa. I am going to try to be very better, Santa, at home and school. I love you.

All of my family helped decorate our Christmas tree. It is by our fireplace. How can the elves make so many toys? I Hope they aren't tired. I don't want them to stop making the toys. Be careful in your sleigh.
