Dear Santa,


It's been a while since the last time I wrote you a letter. In fact, the last time I wrote you a letter it was literally written, pencil and paper. I was 7 years old. I asked for a remote control train. You brought it. It was the most beautiful toy train a boy could ask for. Bright red, eight wagons, with little toy people, all smiling, in the cabins. I set it on fire and remote controlled the fiery choo-choo under my parents bed.



I'm 30 now and I write you, electronically, asking for a firetruck.

hardly trying to be good,
Nico
