I suspect Zoe has realized that it’s a good idea to let the parents get a good look at the Santa letter just to increase the chances of getting anything on the list.
Santa: “It seems you’ve already landed yourself on my ‘naughty no matter what’ list, so no matter what you do, you’ll still get coal. Keep this up, and your college tuition will go up, too!”
Here’s how related languages differ. In French the word for “to ask” is “demander.” Familiar words are used differently. I’d gotten e-mails on jobs from foreign recruiters who used what I’d call near-synonyms. A list of job requirements would be given, referred to as “demands.”

Santa doesn’t take kindly to threats Zoe. Just saying.

I am sure that Santa does not like it when you write like a terrorist.

Dad’s right. It should begin:
“I have Rudolf. If you want to see him again, with his red nose….”

First draft?! Somebody just got a one-way ticket straight to the top of the Naughty List!

For Zoe, that opening line is “So You”.

At least she didn’t start the letter with :“Listen, Fat Man…”

No one’s making Santa an offer he can’t refuse. Even the Godfather doesn’t mess with him.

“Be a shame if Rudolf’s nose didn’t shine so bright…”

Wow, now this is an up to date comic. Zoe is so typical of the way youth has been raised these days.

I have a distant relative by marriage who got very fed up with the ‘give-me-get-me-buy-me’ holiday demands of his kids.
One Christmas he put his foot down.
One small gift per child under the tree – and that was it.There was a lot of crying that Christmas.
By next Christmas the kids whole attitude was very different.
The kids now understood gifts were not a guarantee and they were very grateful for whatever they received.
Harsh lesson but I guess it worked.

If Santa knows what’s good for him, he will yield to her demands.

She needs to take a lesson from Sally Brown. At least she started her letter with a few pleasantries before launching into her requests.

Your first draft is going to need work.

Isn’t she a little too old to write letters to Santa?
