Dear Santa Claus, my name is Ignacio and I am eight years old. I'm writing to you so that you remember that I behaved very well both at school and at home. This year I would like to ask you as gifts a red electric scooter, a giant animal jigsaw and some dinosaur toys. Also, I wish you would help sick people and don't forget those who cannot see their family. I promise you that I will continue to behave really well and I will share what you bring me with others. Thank you very much and a big Christmas hug.
