Dear Santa

I saw you in your sleigh today….    again

And I told you what I wanted…..    again

But I’m writing it as well, because your memory isn’t what it was.

You see, that was the 3rd time we met this year.

I said I wanted Lego Boost

And you said, “What just lemon juice?”

So I had to shout.

Twice

Embarrassing really in the middle of Liverpool One

Have you thought of hearing aids?

No one would see them under your whiskers.

Like I said, it was the 3rd time we met- and you couldn’t remember.

It’s a bit worrying really.

My Nan is the same.

Mum says it’s Alzheimer’s or something.

Is that what you’ve got?

Alzheimer’s ?

You can’t go into a home- like a care home I mean

They’d never let you out on Christmas Eve

You have to remember the code on the door.

But I expect you could just magic that.

Anyways, it’s a Lego Boost I need Santa

It’s the geekiest present I’ve ever asked for.

Now all of Liverpool One think I’m a nerd or something.

You take care now.

And don’t forget what I said about them hearing aids.

Merry Christmas

From Liam.
