Dear Santa,
It’s me (Gracie Loftis) again wanting to make sure you got my wish list for this Christmas. I’ve been doing really good at not being naughty though now because I’m stuck at home it’s a task that is rather difficult. For Christmas this year, I’d like: the new LOL big surprise, a LOL present surprise, play makeup, a pink LOL Bike, my life doll and accessories, and for my Daddy to be able to make it back home by Christmas morning. I hope I’m not asking too much and I’m okay with whatever you’ve decided you want to give me. Please be sure to bundle up and wear your mask so that you don’t get sick. Be Safe Santa!
Love,
Gracie Loftis
