PROUD AMERICAN's blog: "Go ahead make my day"

                                                                  DEAR SANTA

      Dear Santa,

      Don't worry about me,

      you don't have to come here,

      you see we won't be having

      a Christmas this year.

      If you're wondering why we're doing this,

      let me tell you how it begun,

      it was Sept 11, 2001.

     Something terrible happened that day,

     and still we don't know why,

     but when it was all over

     there wasn't one person in America

     who did not cry.

     So when you're delivering presents

     around the world, and you see

     my mom/dad, in Afghanistan or Iraq,

     let them know we'll be skipping Christmas this year

     we're saving it for when they get back.

     So take my presents Santa,

     and give them to the soldiers

     who can't be here,

      tell them "Merry Christmas" and " Thank-you" from me

      and " Happy New Year"
