Dear Santa:

I’m not asking for anything for myself, but I think that little fish in the tank is very lonely since his companion mysteriously disappeared.  Could you send a dozen or so playmates?  The really colorful ones with the long wavy fins that stick up out of the top of the tank are the easiest to scoop up with a paw- um, I mean they’re the kind that other fish likes for company.

Selflessly yours, Snowball
