Hello, Santa Claus!
Is that you? Can you hear what I say? I am glad Christmas is coming, Santa Claus! Are you coming to our house on Christmas?
What is that you say, Santa? You would like to know if I am a good girl?
Why, yes, I think so!
Did you hear, Santa Claus? I want a new book, too, if you please, and a basket to carry flowers in.
Oh, and I like candy and nuts. All girls and boys like candy, don't they?
I think that is all, thank you.
Don't forget to come to my house, Santa Claus!
Good by.
