It\u2019s Mabel, from 1443 Rosewood Street. Do you remember me? I am 5. How are you? Can you feel the glow-ball warming up in the North Pole? Ms. Miller says you\u2019re probably swimming up there, but I hope you still drink hot coacoa, because hot coacoa is very yummy.
\nThis Christmas I\u2019m asking for your help instead of for presents. Daddy said that\u2019s okay, and very grown up of me. I\u2019ve been really good I promise. I always help Mommy with the dishes, even when the water is cold, and I always take Sampson out to go potty. P.S. Sampson was a good dog, and he should get a bone under the tree, please and thank you.
\nI need help because during the holidays it\u2019s very cold, Santa. I just want for our house to feel Christmas warm all year.\u00a0 Mommy and Daddy are so happy when they are warm, and everyone drinks warm coco and wear sweaters and has blankets.
\nThe only cold part of my house, Santa, is the water. Whenever I go to wash my hands to help Mommy make cookies it is always cold for long, even when I twist it for hot. Mommy makes me wait the whole time anyway because she says it bad for the cookies if I don\u2019t get the soap off with hot water, but it\u2019s boring just waiting and also even Sampson doesn\u2019t like touching the cold when I flick it at him.
\nSo Santa can you make blankets come out of the sink right away?
\nAnd also I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about needing to save more money because Michaela is in school now. I heard you don\u2019t normally give money but they have been very good. They always put things in the recycling bin, and they always are saying \u201cNo more long of showers\u201d and \u201cMabel, please don\u2019t leave the lights on.\u201d Ms. Miller says this is very stainable, which means smart, I think.
\nSo Santa, can you give mommy and daddy money?
\nAlso Ms. Miller says Earth is sick, and that California is thirsty. I know you\u2019re not a doctor but I have an idea! What if you took all the extra water that I can\u2019t touch because it\u2019s cold, and you gave it to California?
\nI know you have lots to do, but I was thinking about it lots and I saw that when people have money and warm things, everyone is very happy.
\nFor Christmas can you help me find a blanket for my house that gives Mommy and Daddy money?
\nCan you make sure Sampson gets a bone, please?
\nAnd Michaela sometimes wants to talk to me on the phone, and that is nice because I miss her. She may have whatever she wants.
\nI love you, Santa.
\nLove,
\nMabel<\/div>\n

You are such a kind and spirited young lady! I am so impressed that you want help out your family and the world<\/em> for Christmas! Your thoughtfulness will come back and help you in the future, I promise.
\nI wanted to write you back to tell you that I have just the gift for your house! It has a long name, are you ready? It\u2019s called an ACT <\/strong>D\u2019MAND <\/strong>Kontrols\u00ae <\/strong>System<\/strong>, and it will do everything that you asked me for.
\nBasically it\u2019s a magic box, little Bell, that you put under your farthest sink. At just the push of an LED button or walk past a motion sensor, this magic box will turn and give your entire home hot water right away. You will never have to wait!
\nAnd this magic box system will give your parents the money they deserve, too. It sounds to me like they are very smart, but they just don\u2019t know how to do more! You see, your house right now has a pump in it that\u2019s running, and it never stops\u2026. So even though they are turning off the lights and not taking long showers, they are still losing money they don\u2019t need to be.
\nSo let me teach you something that you can teach to Ms. Miller, too! With an electronic D\u2019MAND Kontrols\u00ae system, your hot water heater will only have hot water pumped when you ask for it (when you D\u2019MAND\u00ae it), so suddenly your parents will be saving $200-$400 each year on energy and water bills\u2026 because now your pump will be running 98% less! And you want to know something fun? It only costs less than $1 to run each year. It would take a lot of stress out of paying for Michaela\u2019s school, I promise my dear.
\nAnd it would do so much good for planet. I know you can already add and subtract, so I\u2019ll share with you some numbers: the average house wastes 10 gallons of water a day! But if a D\u2019MAND Kontrol System is in place, your home will save between 7,000-12,000 gallons per year<\/em>! It makes your house feel spoiled and <\/em>like a hero.
\nMy Jolly, this is just the gift! You know what? While I could easily bring a system with me down the chimney, I think it\u2019s best if Mom and Dad were involved in this decision, too.
\nLet\u2019s have one of them call 714-668-1200 or visit GotHotWater.com so we can have your family saving before<\/em> Christmas! And I\u2019ll have you know that ACT, Inc. is on the Nice List every year<\/em> (just like you!) because they also want to make a real difference (just like you!). They deliver their goodies all over the world, like I do\u2026 and yet they might be a little more official than good ol\u2019 Santa Claus, seeing as how my positive impact hasn\u2019t been funded, tested, and proven by the U.S. Department of Energy, like theirs have!
\nYou dared to dream that environmental responsibility could be matched to convenience (as Ms. Miller what that means)\u2026We at the North Pole are so impressed by you, Little Mabel! And the magic box lasts around 20 years, so you get to grow up knowing that the $5,000 dollars of savings your Mom and Dad accumulate was your idea.
\nYou\u2019re just 5 years old and you already understand the meaning of \u201cInvest in the Future\u00ae\u201d (Michaela could learn a thing or 2 from you when she comes back home during vacation, she really should be paying more attention in her lectures).
\nBe ready for the greatest house blanket ever invented! Keep wanting to change the world, Mabel, and I\u2019ll keep writing you back with just what you need to do so.<\/span><\/span>Still a fan of your double-chocolate chip chunk fudge cookies,
\nSanta<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
