Dear Santa,
I would like
A construction truck
Construction work clothes
A remote control car
and nothing else.
Please!!!
We are going to have apples, bananas, and crackers. And carrots for the reindeer.
And that is all.
Please no hugs.
We will be sleeping upstairs.
You can come in through the living room door.
Do you speak French?
Thank you, Santa.
Also, you can give toys to Olivia, you know.
But I do not know what.
Merry Christmas.
Gabriel
(dictated by Chelsea. Note some words are in English. Translated by me.)
P.S.
When I questioned Gabriel about the construction truck I learned that he wants a real one, the kind he sees on the streets.
Oh boy!
What a sweet precious letter to Santa
Thanks for sharing
Love Jeanne

I hope that you keep the letter! Do they have Tonka construction trucks in France?

So sweet - but Santa might not be able to fit a full size truck into his pack!

What an adorable little letter to Santa, and so thoughtful to have included Olivia! Wishing Santa lots of luck getting Gabriel a REAL construction truck. Hahaha

Love it! That vintage look card is also wonderful!

Big order! And, yes, being hugged awake by an old fat man with a white beard in the middle of the night might be a little disconcerting. So funny that he would think to write a warning since I thought Santa always did his best not to get caught! And I love the sort of last minute by-the-way about Olivia.

I really hope Gabriel gets his construction truck. No hugs! Too cute!

Good luck with the full size construction truck.
He deserves a hug even in the night.
