Pamela Andrews Dear Santa. Christmas is my favorite time of year because you re ceive gifts and give them. I like seeing the people’s faces when they open their presents. It makes everyone feel happy 'o see other peo ple happy. It ’s neat to see all the lights and greetings to everyone. Christmas is the time of year that it snows and people have fun in the snow. Most people wish Christmas came more often, because it fills people with joy. Alicia Johnson Dear Santa. This Christmas I wish you could come to Port land. Oregon, and have a big parade on earth. Some people don't believe in San ta. Some people do believe in Santa. This Christmas I would like Santa to come and give every child in Port land a gift.
