Letters to Santa, 2010

This year we went to Macy's in downtown Chicago for a fun day among the cheerful holiday crowds. Our real goal was to see Santa and get the appropriate pictures. However, this entry is mostly about the letters to Santa that the kids wrote. I'll post an entry with the Santa photo later.

Macy's had a table setup with paper for kids to write their letters and they had a big mail box to post the letters in. I was told by another customer that for every letter posted Macy's would donate a small amount of money to some charity.

Of course, our kids were excited to write to Santa and I was excited to get pictures of their letters. And here they are in all of their glory.

Ian was asking for an art (sketch) book and some crayons and Cami was asking about an Elf named Semore (Seymour?) that belongs to her friend Julia. She also wanted Santa to say "hi" to Rudolf for her.

These letters really warm my heart. It shows that my kids are innocent and loving and are not cynical about life, at least not yet anyway.
