Christmas is coming...

Dear Santa,

Sam is so excited about Christmas this year!  He talks about you non-stop, and today he swore he saw one of your elves hiding under the table in his bedroom.  He's trying so hard to be good, so I thought I'd give you a little heads up as to what he's asking for this year. 

Here is Sam's Christmas list for 2009-

1) Killer Whale
   - Preferably Free Willy, but I think Shamu will do, too
   - A little hint...we saw a killer deal on these at Target

2) Humpback Whale
   - Could there be a worse name for an animal?

3) Sperm Whale
   - Ok you got me...this is much worse.

4) Garage
   - He's actually saving his money for one of these (I'm totally serious!), so if you're unable to provide the real deal, any contribution to his little garage fund would work.

5) Basement
   - I think he'd actually take any spare bedrooms or space you have available this year.  It would really save my sanity if he and Max had somewhere to run and jump during these long winter months.

6) Chimney
   - This one is mainly for your sake, Santa.  Sam got extremely worried when I told him you could just squeeze through the vents in our ceiling since we don't have a chimney.  But if this isn't possible this year we totally understand.

Thanks for everything.

Love,
