Out of Season, But Amusing Nonetheless

I recently found this note and remembered what the story was behind it from way back in Christmas 2006. Here's the story:

I had the girls write Santa letters just before Christmas, and since Sophie had written about 15 beginning in the summertime, I told her she had to write one final one and to tell Santa to disregard the others. She wrote that she wanted a ruby necklace and a safe to put it in. I mailed them that day, and the next morning she begged me to write just one more. She got really emotional about it and I was curiuos why, so I told her she could. When I found it, this is what it said (with corrected typos):

Dear Santa,

It's me, Sophia Bevans.
Nevermind about the ruby necklace. It was too much. Just the safe will be enough. Sorry for being selfish.

From,
Sophia

(She got a ruby necklace that year in her safe)
