Dear Santa,
Please be sure to polish Rudolph's nose before you leave. I hear there is a big storm coming and it's real dark where I live.
I have been an extra good boy this year. My best friend Bill will vouch for me. Unfortunately, my Mom has laryngitis so she won't be able to.
I would like a marble made during the 17th century, with provenance please. If you can't find one, a spiral marble from the American Marble & Toy Company would be okay too.
Your Friend,
-Ricky
