DEAR SANTA: to be knife-proof, fireproof and hurt-proof

i have to say i work with some really interesting children.  here is a letter one of my kids wrote to santa, keep in mind this is his 4th letter so far.

Dear Santa Claus


How is the North Pole going? Are you staying warm? I hope you come this year. I hope my naughtiness doesn’t get in the way of sending my presents. I will be leaving you cookies and milk on Christmas Eve. I will be asleep when you come. Can you tell me how you get into peoples’ apartments because I don’t really have a house and there isn’t any chimney? I wonder how you are going to get in.


Do you want a picture of me? I am sure you know my face. I am writing to you because I forgot five things on my list.

1.     First is some really big yellow boots to fit into my other shoes.

2.     I would like a suit, like to wear to fancy parties, a grey color.

3.     I want a white shirt and a red tie.

4.     And black pants for the suit. NO STRIPES PLEASE!!

5.     I would like two powers; a. To be knife proof, fireproof, hurt proof and be able to blow my breath for a long time b. Ex-ray vision so I can look for trouble.

Santa, will you please leave me some instructions on how to use the super power suit? I don’t want to ruin it in the wash. I think you are a nice person and that you have a very good heart. You are a very happy man.

Sincerely and have a safe trip,

                        Your friend ______

i wish i was still a kid!!!
