The Ultimate Re-gift is a Smile

"All I want for Christmas is........." Sung with feeling.

This is a little letter I plan to send care of The Grand Elf Himself, Santa.

Dear Ms Fairy, We go wayyyyy back. Although I might not recognize you, if you look closely at me, you will certainly remember some very good teeth, left under my pillow. Since technically you purchased said teeth, one at a time, with a shiny quarter, they must have been worthy of your nighttime visit. 

While I had no need of them at the time, it was a good trade and I was happy to oblige. Things have changed slightly since your last visit, and I am wondering.....Do you re-gift? I am particularly in need of one 6 yr, and one 12 year molar, for the lower right side.

On second thought, perhaps we could negotiate for the matching uppers, as proper bite is so important. I have good references from your friend, Mr. Dentist, and although he believes a man made bridge is the proper way to go....I have to know.....

What you did with all my baby teeth?

On the off-chance, that a cloud riding, sugar loving angel, got them as a gift of Christmas Past, I am willing to accept as a temporary fix, my sister's teeth, but we both know they weren't as nice as mine.

If you are a savvy business woman, I am sure that you can appreciate my spread sheet, that shows your profit of margin would be considerable for resale, but.....

It's Christmas, the time of  love and hope and wishes where gifts are expected. Perhaps you are thinking of giving me that set of wings Tinkerbell gave you that never fit right but really, I need the teeth, so if you plan to re-gift...think of my smiley face.

After all, you wouldn't want the Sugar Plum fairy to start lifting pillows and put you out of business.

Gratefully,

Mary
