Dear Santa Letter and Accompanying Haiku

Christmas Wish
Triceratops toy
Requested by oldest tot
You're only a chair


Dear Santa:

Please help me to find the big toy truck with the tools that we saw at Costco that time I was there with Gabie and he threw a fit over it, and if you do not help me to find one I shall go insane.

The next time Christian visits with you, please convince him that there is no way a huge triceratops will fit in your bag or go down our imaginary chimney. Please convince him this toy is ridiculously boring because it does nothing but make a few noises when its horns are squeezed. It does not gallop around. It is a chair for gosh sakes -- tell him it's a silly chair shaped like a dinosaur priced at $250! Because Christian loves puzzles, maybe you could tell him that a T-rex skeleton that you put together and take apart is more exciting to play with and even more challenging than a child-size triceratops that just sits there looking bored with its leaf in its mouth that won't move because it's only a chair. Please remind him of the giraffe chair that has been abandoned in a corner since Christian was a year old.

Thank you for your help. We'll keep the cookies out for you.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Elena
