Dear Santa,

My name is Talia and I have a lot of questions. What do you give your reindeer to make them fly? Mrs. Claus, what is your favorite cookie? How old are you? Santa, how do you get across the world in one night?

These are the reasons why I should be on the nice list. First, on Thanksgiving I helped my mom’s friend because my mom was gone. I helped her cook. I helped take care of the boys while she worked. Next, I help her learn English because she is Arabic. Lastly, I always do my homework.                       

These are a few things I want for Christmas. Santa, can I get a watch that texts and plays games? Also I would like an Ipad with lots of games on it? Can I please get some hair bows and hair ties? These are just a few of the things I want for Christmas.
