Dear Mom,

I know you want me to be a healthy boy, but I would still appreciate my request to have an Xbox 360. I do not think I will become unhealthy because of this request. I am well aware that you provide me with great hockey gear, clothes, food, etc. This would be an amazing bonus. I understand the price of this is really high, however, I could shovel driveways or something else to earn money and pay half. I also understand that I already have a Playstation 2 and a Wii, but I still play outside more than I play video games and if you think I am playing it to much just send me outside. Plus Charlie Friedman has an Xbox 360 and he still goes outside way more than he stays inside and plays Xbox 360. I know that you think Gabby, our dog, will chew the Xbox 360 up and it will be a waste of money but I will keep it up high so she can't get it. Also, you might think that no one else wants this in our family but me. That however is not entirely true, I know that max wants a game called Skate 2 (or something like that) and there is a game called Sing It, that is also on Xbox 360, that Maggie will like. For you and Dad if you want watch a movie you can watch one on the Xbox 360. I now you think that they might come out with an Xbox 370, but I took lots of time looking www.Microsoft.com and other websites and there is no sign of another version of an Xbox coming out. And there might be some great sales on a Xbox 360 before Christmas! I would like to thank you for thinking about my request for an Xbox 360. I know this is not the main thing on your mind right now, so I'm very thankful for you thinking about my request.
