Now that you have a new bike you travel thousands of miles and reach the moon. And then there's the superhero costume. Saving the planet will take a long time. And the new sword. Have you ever seen a real warrior playing with blue cars? And don't forget the cookbook. If you want to be the best chef in the world you'll spend hours trying out new recipes. Dear Tom, the important thing is not to have a lot of toys, but to have the ones you're really going to make the most of and I'm sure you know how to do it. Sincerely, Santa.
