I wrote a letter to Santa and told him 
to bring you everything you wanted for Christmas, 
so hopefully he will answer and make all your dreams come true.

The glory and beauty of this wonderful season 
is something we all can share together. 
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 
and a prosperous New Year.

Cordially yours,

Isabella
