Letters
to Santa
From the Coolest Kid Ever
Dear
Santa,
Usually,
I just visit you at the mall
every year to tell you what I want, but that doesn’t really seem to
work
because I’ve never gotten anything for Christmas! So, I decided that
this year,
I was going to attempt to communicate with you via snail mail…or a
traditional
letter.
Well
Santa, before I tell you what I
want and everything, I just want to let you know that you can’t pull
that
silly, “you’ve been a bad kid”, excuse on me! I know I’ve been a
spectacularly
awesome kid this year. You know why? Well, you probably actually do
know why
because you’re Santa. Still, I feel the need to beg my case here!
First
of all, I didn’t steal any of my
brothers’ Halloween candy this year! I know that sounds unbelievable,
but I got
off my lazy butt this year and went trick-or-treating for myself! Now,
I know
you’re thinking that I couldn’t possibly have behaved any better than
that; I
mean, not stealing candy from a younger sibling? That’s almost as hard
as
making it a whole week without chocolate. But, it gets better. You’re
not going
to believe this one Santa, but I didn’t post that really embarrassing
picture
that I took of my friend to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or
any other
social network. I don’t really know if you realize just how hard that
is, but
let me explain with an analogy. It’s like saying no to cake, or not
pushing
that really mean girl, who spread rumors about you, down the stairs.
Or…well, I
guess you get the point. Basically, it’s really tough. There are more
reasons
why I should definitely be on the good list this year, but if I listed
all of
them here, this letter would be longer than the novel, Gone
With the Wind. So, just take my word for it Santa, I’ve been
a
good kid.
Now
that I’ve proved my goodness, it’s
about time I get to the part where I demand free stuff from you. This
won’t
sound like much until you realize just how many colleges I applied to
or plan
to apply to, but all I want for Christmas this year is to get accepted
into
every college that I am applying to. This is going to be made
especially tough
by the fact that I won’t even have applied to most of my colleges by
Christmas.
Nonetheless, you’re Santa, so I figured you could work some magic and
make my
wish come true, especially since I’ve been such a good kid this
year.
If
that’s just impossible for you to
make happen, I guess I’ll settle for getting two unicorns, a male and a
female,
for Christmas. That way, I can start a unicorn farm and get rich and
famous off
of breeding and selling unicorns.
Well
Santa, I think that’s it. If I
don’t get a present this year, after how well I’ve behaved, I might
just have
to start a petition to elect a new Santa. You should just get me my
presents
though because starting a petition sounds like a lot of work. Thanks!
From,
The
Coolest Kid
Ever
