thanksgiving snippets, part 2

~ So I will be writing another “Santa” letter to Piper this year. At one point after Thanksgiving dinner, my sister pulled me aside, reached into her pocket, and started whisper-reading Piper’s letter to Santa this year. The gist of it was this — I think I remember it almost verbatim:

Dear Santa,

Thank you for everything you gave me last year. Also, thank you for the letter you sent me. I will try to make sure there is some food for you to eat when you visit me this year. I love you very much. My wish list is on the back of this letter. Thank you, Santa.

Love and kisses,

Piper

After this first letter, she wrote another letter to Santa, feeling bad, apparently, for forgetting to inquire after Mrs. C.

So that was the second letter: Dear Santa, How is Mrs. C getting along? Love, Piper. Hahahahaha.

~ Later, Banshee Mom asked if I would send a Santa letter to The Banshee, too. Sure. The more the merrier on this front, I say. So yesterday, she forwarded me the contents of The Banshee’s letter to Santa, and, I tell you, that girl is ALL business. Not one wasted word in that letter. Like Ernest Hemingway wrote it. I cannot tell you how much I relish the differences between those girls. It kills me. Yin and yang. Here’s The Banshee’s letter:

Dear Santa:

I love you.

I want a Tinker bell set, American Girl dolls, Calico Critters Halloween set.

Thank you.

Banshee B.

Obviously, she did not sign it “Banshee B,” but her first and last initials are the same, as I think we’ve discussed before, so that’s the gist of that. Very Banshee CEO, don’t you think?

So.

Seems “Santa” has some letter writin’ to do.
