Dear Santa,

I wrote you a week ago, didn't you get it?

I've managed to keep myself busy - don't sweat it.

My awesome new list is now ten pages long.

Start training your reindeer - they'll need to be strong.

And how many N's are in "venomous snake"?

I drew one in case I misspelled it.

Love, Jake

Worth buying

This is a very cute book. A sweet message that about having the Christmas spirit and not being too focused on gifts and wish lists. Illustrations were cute and the story was witty and clever.

Hilarious and heartwarming

Super hilarious and really heartwarming too, probably a new Christmas classic. Awesome rhyme, fantastic (and funny) art. Would make a great gift, without question.
