Love- Karyn Biffin Port Perry Dear Santa Claus I love your presents so much. How is Vixen? I had fun following the string to get a present. You stuff stockings very well. How are the other reindeer?

I promise to leave you a snack. In the letter you send me back tell me what you would like. If you can't make up your mind before Christmas, I'll leave you Yogurt. If you are on a diet, I'll leave you plain. If you aren't I'll leave you sugar and fruit in it. Hope you, Mrs. Claus, and the reindeer have a Merry Christmas.
