Everyone in family emails North Pole

The girls have sent of their emails to Santa about what they're hoping for this year. Why email?

"Santa sends us a letter right back when we email him!"

I like emailing Santa too. The girls can only request three items (the email form has only three blocks to write in) and Santa emails them right back about their requests. Sort of an 'order confirmed' note, which I explain to the girls means that they can't change their minds about the gifts they want. Very helpful with kids like L. who can never make up her mind about anything.

After G. finished reading Santa's return letter she noticed a special section just for pets. Apparently Rudolph not only leads Santa's sleigh on stormy nights, he also organizes the elves to make gifts for all the special animals of the world.

G. helped Toddy at the keyboard to type in his requests and he too received a letter right back. Here's a little excerpt of it (of course the letter is hanging on the bulletin board in our kitchen as well).

It's always wonderful to get an email from you, Toddy! ÷ink baaa meow hiss roar sque„l!! So Toddy, have you been a good boy this year?
