Dear Santa

Just wanted to send you a quick note.  I know you are very busy this time of year -  all the toy construction, employee interactions, not to mention the administrative burdens associated with all that double checking that's going on up there.  In fact, I'm surprised you find the time to read all these letters.  

Listen, I want to keep it real simple here at the Smith T house.  All I want is this.

That's right . . . a modest little ole beach house.  In fact, if you grant this request, I promise to never ask for anything else from you again.   And while we're on the subject, it would be great if you could find a place with some of these features. . .

An outdoor area sort of like this.  Just to take in the beautiful views.  Note the pool to the right (in case the rip tides keep us out of the ocean).

It would also need a private outdoor shower area as well.  Wouldn't want to ruin the floors with all those wet, sandy feet.

Maybe you could also squeeze in a nice place for gathering in the morning, just before we all venture out into the day.

Along with a place to hang out in the evenings (after we have watched the sunset on the beach, of course). 

 We could play a few board games and have some margaritas - you know, just relax.

Oh, and I almost forgot.  It would be really great if you could include a bedroom like this.  It's always so relaxing to have a snooze just after lunch when the sun is at its hottest.

And Santa, it goes without saying - you're welcome anytime you and your sweet wife need a little get-a-way.  Maybe even a place to celebrate New Year's Eve! 

PS: The kids have been pretty good this year too. M.
