Lauren Kelley

I love reading Operation Santa letters, especially when kids ask for things like “a monster," “a beautiful unicorn that is real that I can keep in my backyard” and a “rainbow with flowers on it” (those requests are from a pair of siblings who seem rad). https://www.uspsoperationsanta.com/letters
