My son made me so proud...
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.

1. OMG that's priceless....just priceless.
Give him a squeeze from a 'spare' granny - I am sure you're proud of him! I would be too!

3. That's so cute.
My daugther is 8 1/2, and she just WANTS to believe in Santa so much that she still does. I think this is definitely our last year for Santa, though.

9. I think you should send a copy to Obama's office too.
Are you going to save it so he can see it when he's grown?

15. WOW! Thank you all so much for the compliments!
I did make a copy of the letter. I decided to keep the original and I made photocopies to send in to the newspaper Santa letter thingy and to Obama's office.

I hope Obama knows how many children he has inspired. I realize that most kids will echo their parents' political views, but I have never seen children as TRULY INSPIRED as I have with Obama.

21. I think she meant this is the last
year he'll believe in Santa as he's getting to that age where other kids will tell him (who heard it from their older siblings).

19. What a wonderful child!
I hope he will consider running for public office when he grows up.

And I hope that Santa will be extra specially good to him this year, too.

20. Oh - you have to send it to Obama
I'm sure he'd love to hear that. What a great kid you're raising there and he didnt' get there by himself so please pat yourself on the back.

22. Do it!
That is precious beyond words. Good on you for raising such a wonderful little human being. Give him some DU hugs for me! :hug: We need more kids like your Josh. An unselfish 8-year-old is a rare child indeed.
