I found this "vintage" (better than calling a picture of myself "old")...photograph of me and Mr. Santa Claus when I was about five. I think even then I was wishing for a puppy! Well...a puppy and mickey mouse ears. I definitely got what I wished for this year...a beautiful new girl dog, Maisie Rose. Thanks, Santa!I always love reading "letters to Santa" from local kids in our newspaper every year. They are so funny and endearing. Here are a couple I came across on the web I thought you would enjoy. I especially like the ones with bad spelling! (from emailsanta.com)
Dear Santa, I will spray down the fire plase so you do not burn your butt and i will leav you cookes and milk.

I really like the red suit, but when I saw you in the mall the other day, it was lookin a little too small. Maybe you should ease up a little on the milk and cookies.

Enjoy your day...I'm heading down to the studio now! The dogs await!

Linda, adorable photo of you and santa. How funny, what those kids wrote in their letters to santa, the things that come out of little mouths, is sometimes amazing. Even at that age, they are wondering how santa can come down a chimnet and not burn his behind..too funny.
Love 'vintage' santa photos. Tried to get my 26 year old daughter to sit on Santa's lap with me this year but she wouldn't do it. I can't wait to hear what breed's Maisie is made up from it can sometimes surprise you what combinations look like. I'm enjoying what little snow we have this year since I don't have to drive in it if I don't want to.
Happy Holidays.

Linda:
Those letters are so funny. Children can be brutally and innocently honest, can't they?
If you get a chance, I've got a contest going on my blog today and tomorrow. Winner get two of my ACEO prints for free.
