    My name is Lindsey Sigel and I am 9 years old. This year for Christmas I would like to have a Nintendo DS or a Wii entertainment game. I would like some jewelry to wear. Could I also have a couple of short-sleeved shirts to wear? My cast makes it hard to wear anything with long sleeves. In case you didn’t already know, I broke my right arm roller-skating. How is Mrs. Claus? How are you? Ready for the big night? Hope you have a safe trip! By the way, Mom is writing this letter for me because I’m right-handed. Hopes that’s OK. Love, Lindsey P.S. You rock! Dear Santa Claus,
