Dear Santa Clause,

I have been a good girl this year. For Christmas I want a Western Barbie, an E.T. Speak and Spell, Annie Lipstick and PacMan Sponge and ghost soaps. I will leave you a glass of milk and a cookie.

Dear Santa,

How are you doing? How are things at the north pole? This is what I would like to have for Christmas.

Big Doll … Snow cone Machi … Barbie Clothes and Boots … Books … Barbie house … purse … watch … pitcher … radio … chair … clock

P.S. My little sister April would like a new Barby. Thank you very much. And we will leave you some cookies Christmas Eve.

I Love You
