Dear Santa,

   Look, I’ve never done this letter-writing thing before because my mom believes the idea of Santa Claus is detrimental to the development of a child and that parents shouldn’t lie to their kids about a mystical man who comes at night to drop off presents only to “good” children.

 That bummed me out because Christmas movies really lose their magic when you know Santa is just a ploy used by parents so that their kids will behave. It also meant I never had to worry about being on Santa’s naughty list. So, I went HAM on doing bad stuff right before Christmas just to flex on everyone forced to be good by the ever-looming threat of a fat man in a sled.

  Still, I want to cash in on all the gifts I passed up. That makes seventeen presents this year. But first and foremost, I would like you to drop Joseph Gordon-Levitt off on my doorstep with a big red bow on his head.

Thanks,

Isabella Nava
