Hi Dad,
Thank you for thinking of getting me such nice presents! I know how hard you and mom work so it means a lot to me. It is hard to decide because I know if I picked the Playstation, my brother could also use it. The problem is though that I need a new laptop for school. So, I will choose the laptop. We can all use it also. Thank you again for such a wonderful present!
Love,
Me
