Dear Santa

My five-year-old son wrote a letter to Santa yesterday while I was addressing Christmas cards.  It was his idea. It took forever.  He asked me how to spell each word--except "the."

This is what it said:
"Do you get tired Santa Claus?  I hope it is not too much trouble to get the reindeer and elves ready to get the presents loaded on the sled. Write Back. Signed, Oliver."

Then once it was sealed and stamped, he decided it might be nice to attach some fallen pine needles from our tree to decorate the envelope. He kept saying how much he thought Santa would like that.

I told him it was a very thoughtful letter. It really is dear.
