I want to start off this story by saying  if you don't know Graham Mitchell personally, you're missing a mighty big blessing. I've known Graham a few years now and I remember the first time we met, it was when he owned Hadley One Stop, I just fell in love with him. Such a kind man, to everyone I've ever heard him speak to, and boy oh boy could he tell some hunting and  fishing tales. Any time I've ever heard anyone talk about Graham Mitchell, it was nothing but wonderful things.

Dear Santa,
    How have you been?  I’ve been a really good boy at school this year.  For Christmas I would like a Nintendo 2DS, a PJ Masks Headquarter Playset and the Ninjago video game for Playstation 4.
