Anyway, mollys sitting down with our daughter jane, whos 5, to write a letter to santa claus, which jane did not want to do. She wanted us to refer santa to our Amazon Wish List that id made. But we insisted on a letter because we want to have it. So my wife got a pen and paper and asked jane why should santa bring you presents, and jane thought about it, and she said because i want them, thats why. And were like, no.
