Dear Christmas Cottontail,
I hope that it is okay that I am writing directly to you instead of Santa Claus, but I thought since you and I are both gardeners you would understand my wants and needs and be able to convey them to Mr. Claus on my behalf.
Plus, much of what I want for Christmas can’t exactly be made by the elves in Santa’s workshop.
What I want is more your specialty, I think.
