Advertisements [?]He wrote a letter to Santa- If you send them to our local paper, they print them. This year he wrote:Dear Santa,You don't have to bring me anything for Christmas this year. I already got what I wanted. I got my baby brothers in February and I got Barack Obama in November. I'm happy with that and you can give my toys to someone who needs them more.Josh (age 8)I am so proud of my boy. I am thinking of photocopying the letter and sending it to Obama. I thought if he were to see it he might get a kick out of it.And sad that Santa won't be a reality much longer for him. I'm surprised he still believes NOW.
HUGE BS. Kids that age don't care about politics unless their parents are cramming their views down their throats. When the parents do "indoctrinate" them they are just parroting what their parents say to please them. Both sides do, it just seems that their side does it to a larger extent.
My kids when they were that age weren't political junkies or for that matter to politically aware. They did know who the Gov of Texas was and who was president and the such. They learned that through a game I used to play with them in the car,to keep them from ripping each others hair out. I would ask them questions about math,geography and the such . Every once in awhile we'd go through the political hierarchy,from mayor to President.
My son asked for a cell phone and a paved driveway so his basketball bounces better. He didn't mention Bush, Obama, Peace on Earth, or baby seals once!
My kids said, "There isn't anything I want". My son even said, "I must be spoiled like Dad said because I can't think of anything I want". Then two days later sent me a list on Amazon of music, a couple DVD's and a Lego set that costs $225.
I'm sure this really happenedWritten just like an 8 year old would write too.

Lego Mindstorms? If that's what they're asking for, they're great. Even for adults.

But Mr. Santa, if you have an extra one, I would really like a cool big black flashlight like the buzzy one in mom's dresser that I'm not allowed to play withJosh (age 8)I am so proud of my boy.

Dear Santa,Are your reindeer feeling good? I believe in you. I am 7 yrs. old. I'm in the 2nd grade. You want to know what I would really want? Can I please have a Nintendo DS? I really want it bad! I like you. My favorite sport is basketball.Love, Jonathan
How would a cell phone make his basketball bounce better?
Read it again, he asked for a PAVED driveway so his basketball would bounce better.
