Milking (No Pun Intended) The Christmas System

My sweet little Cali has learned to milk the system I am quite certain. Although she still believes in the magic of Christmas I wonder in the corner of my mind if she really knows certain things and is trying to get all she can from Santa.

Last year she wrote Santa and asked for an elf. Santa left her a letter on Christmas morning with an "elf hat" and told her she can't have his elves but that he left the hat for her to remember him by.

This year:
(first letter)

For some reason she swapped the first with the letter below but it was adorable and made me cry. She was talking about herself then she said "enough about me, let's talk about you and Mrs. Clause. How is she?" At the end of the letter she asked Santa to bring all the orphans presents because they should have a good Christmas too.
That one just made me cry and realize I had more work to do at the holidays to return a letter to my sweet girl.

Second letter:

"Dear Santa,
Can you please wrap the living room and my door and the girl's door if would mean alot!! What I want is Toms (black sparkly) size 121/2 and if you could a set of sparkly pens and anything else you think I want.
Love,
Cali
PS Did you see me at Cosco

Dear Santa,
I really really really want a elf. And do I touch it or not. Please tell me!!
#1 fan,
Cali

AND
third letter:
Dear Santa,
Can I have an elf and can I touch him or not.
From: Cali

My sweet girl ended up getting a letter from St. Nick stating he needs his elves but left her a reindeer necklace to remember him by.

I am so touched by her sweet spirit to think of others and to want an elf?? And to know if she can touch it. ;) haha
