With Love, From Isabelle.

by ~sweetcapris

Dear Santa, Hi! It’s Isabelle.
Hope your season’s full of cheer.
Mine’s been swell, and I’ve done well
to be real good this year!

I helped my mommy decorate
--- Santa, she nearly cried.
I baked her some treats, a tray full of sweets,
and brought buckets of snow right inside!

And when she said pick up your toys,
I pushed them 'neath my bed.
Though not quite done playing, my big heart was saying
make others feel happy instead.

And tonight I did the dishes,
My raisin hands you should have seen!
So I put that plate by the doggy gate
and Spot licked it up real clean.

So as you can see I’m doing my part
to spread some holiday cheer,
but for all that I churn, I ask less in return
on my humble list this year.

Just a sweet, warm cup of cocoa
and a simple hug will do
that’s all I need, I have no greed,
And here's even what I’ll do for YOU!

The workshop must be crowded
with the gifts you cannot give
to bad girls and boys--- those poor little toys!
They surely need somewhere to live!

Sooo...

If you have a rocking horse,
A princess crown, a scarf, of course,
A doll that walks, a doll that cries,
A doll that bakes me cherry pies,
A wishing well, a bubble show,
A net to catch a U.F.O.,
A dog, a cat, a duck that’s green,
A ball and bat, a time machine,
A homework elf, a candy store,
A shooting star, a spinning floor,
A reindeer and a pirate ship,
A choco-liscious chocolate chip,
Oh and I just 'bout forgot,
A bracelet like what mommy's got....

It really wouldn’t bother me
to find these gifts beneath my tree.

I’m hoping Christmas finds you well,
with love, your humble Isabelle.

...you can love someone with all you heart, for all the right reasons, and in a moment they can chose to walk away, love them anyway...

Sounds just like my Abby, and is quite adorable. I love especially the list itself, very Suessian. :D Great work.

Aww, that's so sweet! It sounds like something my baby sister would put together, if she could read or write that well. :) I can't pick a favorite part or line--I love the sweet silliness of the list, the cute (and mischievous) tone of the opening stanzas, the innocent ending... it's nice throughout!

:+fav: ;)

hehe, thanks so much for giving it a read! I'm totally glad you caught the mischievous and innocent-but-not-really tone that I was going for :D
That's great. I hope you and your little sister, who sounds so-very cool, have excellent holidays!
