Dear Santa,

Thank you so much for Nova's lovely present. It meant the world to me that you wanted to help make Nova's Christmas this year so special, even though you are only obligated to send a Christmas card.

Nova has had a very interesting first year on this earth, and has been in and out of hospital all year. This is the first Christmas where she is actually relatively healthy!

Let me also tell you this. Nova has never ever ever ever played with toys. Due to her West Syndrome she is developmentally delayed to that of a 5 month old, even though she is nearly 16 months old. But boy did she love this toy. Ive never seen her as animated as I have seen her with this octopus. So thank you also Santa, for bringing an extra bit of joy into my heart. Nothing has made my entire year more than watching my child actually interact with something, and take enjoyment out of it too!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, I know I already have <3
