Letters: Children hope for food, warmth, toys
Dear Santa,
This year Christmas I
want snow. I can jump off
and do a front or back flip.
You can get a sled and go
sledding down a big hill of
snow.
Continued from 14A
You know you will get a
present this Christmas Eve.
It will be on my porch on the
bench by my the door.
Love, Lizabelle
Dear Santa,
How are the reindeer, es-
pecially Comet, my personal
favorite? Are they being
good? Is Rudolf real? I hope
all the toys turn out perfect.
I know I have been naughty,
but I’ll be better, I promise. I
don’t really care what you
get me, really. Have you ever
gotten a present? Would you
like one? I can get you one.
See you at Christmas. Have a
Merry Christmas!
Love, Kamo
Dear Santa,
I want a bulldog for
Christmas. I really like the
slobber because it’s wet. I
like the fur on it. It’s so soft. I
like the playful kind. I want
to play.
Love, Logan
Dear Santa,
I want a motorcycle and
some toothpicks. If I have
something in my teeth, like
meat, I can get it out. Next, I
can race someone and win.
Last, I can make a tower for
Mrs. Heinrich. That would
be a good present for me.
Yours truly, Olivine
Dear Santa,
I hope you have a great
Christmas because you have
to get toys for all of the kids.
I would want some friends
to play with me. I would
want some friends to go to
the park with me and play
with me, too.
Love, Pyper
Dear Santa,
You are a wise man! Will
you bring me a microscope?
I need it because I want to
look at my mucus! Will you
bring me a telescope? I want
it to look at the stars. A new
Kindle Fire please get for my
grandpa. Please write back!
Sincerely, Cyrus
Dear Santa,
I hope you have a great
Christmas. I would need
some friends to play with. I
want a printout of this slip.
Love, Rebekah
Dear Santa,
I hope you have a great
Christmas because you help
everybody. I need a new pil-
low case because it is crum-
bling and it hurts my head. I
want a never-ending pep-
peroni pizza!
Love, Mia
Dear Santa,
I hope your elves are
working hard because they
make all the toys. This
Christmas I need shoes be-
cause I barely have any. And
please bring me a Japanese
doll named Hannah that is
on the back of my book that
I look at all the time. And I
want a rainbow bunny that
sold out in a craft shop. And
I also want a beanie boo
dragon and sea horse. Oh!
And can you give something
to my sister?
Sincerely, Kiyora
P.S. I want one of those
chocolate paste stuff that I
saw on TV, and I also want a
doggy Stretchkins. Wait, I
promise this is my last thing:
I want a pencil sharpener
that sharpens crayons too,
and I want it to be purple.
And that is all I want for
Christmas.
Dear Santa,
My name is Lena. I love
you. I help people. I want
you to give my dad some-
thing. And can I have a jump
rope?
Love, Lena
Dear Santa,
I love you Santa. Dear
Santa, I work. Dear Santa, I
like you. Dear Santa, I love
Christmas. Dear Santa, I
want a bike.
Love, Hadley
Dear Santa,
I like Santa. Say hi to the
reindeer. Say hi to the elves.
I like your sleigh. I like your
boots. I like your beard. I like
your hat. I like your jacket.
Love, Bella
Dear Santa,
I love you Santa. I tried
my best work to help you,
but Santa, I love you. You are
my favorite holiday person,
but give presents to other
people, even the grownups.
Love, Michael
Dear Santa,
Can I please have three
wishes that will come true?
From, Shane
Dear Santa,
I want an MP3 for Christ-
Love, Haylee
Sincerely, Mariah
mas. I hope we get Bernard
again, because one time he
went fishing in the toilet.
What cookies do you like?
And what snacks do the
reindeer like? Thank you for
the remote control Batman
car last year.
Zack
Dear Sir Santa Claus,
My name is Astrid, and
I’m 4 years old, and I’ve
been very good this year. I
am a good helper. I’m very
kind, and I’m a protector of
animals. Here is my requests
for Christmas: A little toy
meadow and farm and some
stables; Pocahontas doll;
paint set; mermaid stuff; My
Little Pony snuggly. Santa,
thank you for all your hard
work. Give my love to the
reindeer and the elves.
Please make sure no toy is
left behind.
Your biggest fan, Astrid
Dear Santa,
Hey listen up! Here is my
list and reasons why I want
it. I want a laptop for Christ-
mas because I want to do
everything that adults do on
a laptop. Also, a Star Wars
Lego set so I can have fun
and be happy.
Sincerely, Brandon
Dear Santa,
I’m 10 years old. I love an-
imals. My cats catch little
cute field mice. If they don’t
kill the field mice, we nurse
them back to health. What I
want for Christmas is: No. 1,
my kitty Cleo-swan. Her cat
breed is tortoiseshell. No,
she is a cat, not a turtle. She
has a mustache on the left or
ride side. She has been gone
for so long. She also has
adorable yellowish-orangish
colored eyes. No. 2 is on
Amazon. I also want the
Necomimi brainwave cat
ears.” It’s so cool. It moves to
your emotions! No. 3: Poke-
mon figures. I love Pokemon
so much. I know a lot about
Pokemon. I’m not a Poke-
mon master yet. A Pokemon
master is when you know
everything about Pokemon.
That’s all I want for Christ-
m a s f r o m y o u , Sa n t a .
Thanks for reading! Bye!
Love, Issabell
Dear Santa,
Down here in Oregon,
people everywhere have
started decorating for and
celebrating their favorite
December holidays. How do
you celebrate? Do you dis-
play festive snow globes on
every shelf? Do you play
Christmas songs out to
every corner of the North
Pole? Do you ever get any
presents? What is the one
thing you have always want-
ed? I hope you don’t catch a
cold this winter!
Sincerely, Norah
Dear Santa,
I know a lot of different
people have lost a lot of spir-
it in you, but I have not. I do
have some questions to ask
you: 1. How old are you? 2.
Can I have a remote control
car for Christmas (P.S. pretty
please?) 3. Can I have $100
for Christmas, too? P.S. Have
a great Christmas.
Sincerely, Camron
Dear Santa,
I just want enough money
to buy some things that will
make me smile. I want to
buy a lot of stuff to make
sandwiches to go help give
food to people who are less
fortunate. I also want to buy
warm jackets and umbrellas
to hand out. I would be so
thankful to be able to help
people. I would also donate
some money to food banks
and homeless shelters. It
would really make me smile.
Love, Laudly
Dear Santa,
You’re so cool. I’m so glad
I got to write to you. I hope
you had a wonderful year at
the North Pole. Christmas is
my favorite holiday. It’s
probably your favorite holi-
day, too. I mean, like, you’re
not gonna be like, “Oh, my
favorite holiday is Hal-
loween!” LOL. Hope you
have a great holiday. Merry
Christmas and Happy New
Year.
Sincerely, Kylah
Dear Santa,
For Christmas, all I want
for Christmas is for every-
body to have a great time
with family and friends on
Christmas. Here are a few
questions: 1. How do you
make it all around the world
in time? 2. Is it Rudolf who
leads the sleigh? P.S. I hope
you have a good and great
Christmas this year!
Sincerely, Landon
Dear Santa,
I guess I want the new
game Undertale. Hey, so
why do you give presents to
all the kids? Are you ob-
sessed with kids getting
what they want? Or did you
someday put on a red suit,
call yourself Santa, and now
you’re stuck with doing it
for the rest of your life?
(LOL).
Dear Santa,
How tall are the elves?
What is the best gift you
have ever got? I got a tablet
for Christmas. I want a
Google play card. Who is
your favorite reindeer? Mine
is Rudolf. How do you fit all
the presents in a little bag?
Am I on the naughty list or
nice list? I hope I’m on the
nice list. I love YouTube and
Vines. How many cookies do
you eat a year? P.S. What’s
9+10?
Sincerely, Michael
Dear Santa,
How are you? I’m fine. My
mom just had twins, and it’s
been hard on my family. I
just ask that you could make
my family happy. Thank
you.
Sincerely, Heidi
P.S. My sister would like
an alicorn (half Pegasus, half
unicorn), a mermaid, and a
nice dragon. Could you
arrange that?
Dear Santa,
Thank you for the gifts
t h a t y o u’v e g i v e n m e
throughout these years.
These gifts mean a lot to
me, and I hope you keep
sending more of these spe-
cial gifts. Santa, when I was
little, I always wanted to
meet you and go to your
workshop and meet your
reindeer. Do you ever dress
up your reindeer for Hal-
loween? Do you celebrate
Halloween?
Sincerely, Bryan
P.S. I want a PSP.
Para Santa,
Quisiera una viciclata de
color roza, gris o banca una
que coviera muy rapido o sy
no un perro que fuera
Labrador, jusky o pastor Ale-
man. O sy no una yegua que
corriera muy rapito y que
f u e r a A l a z a n t o s t a d o.
Cumpleme porfavor.
Karina
Dear Santa,
How do you reindeer fly?
I am a first-grader. What are
all your reindeers’ names? I
know some of their names.
Last year I loved my gift.
Thank you for it. How old
are you? For Christmas I
want a remote control heli-
copter.
Owen
Dear Santa,
How can your elves make
the presents so fast? How is
Mrs. Claus? Do you love red?
How can reindeer fly? I am 6
years old.
Emma
Dear Santa,
How have Mrs. Claus and
all of the other reindeer
been doing, like Rudolph? I
want four things for Christ-
mas. I will tell you want I
want.
I want this for Christmas:
1. Bionicle: The movie
2. Optimus Prime
3. Elf of a Shelf (You know,
the elf that looks like a toy,
but they are really elves.)
4. Devastator
Bye Santa! I hope you can
read this because I’m just a
kid.
Love, Chase
Dear Santa,
How have you been? I
have been a good boy. By the
way, I am Gavin. I want a
tazer room lock, an elf on
the shelf, stink bombs, a se-
curity set, and a pig, cookies,
and a car. I hope you have a
good Christmas.
Love, Gavin
Dear Santa,
How has your year been?
How is Mrs. Claus? How are
Olaf and Sven? How are your
elves? What are you doing
right now? What do you eat
at the North Pole? Please can
I have an XBox, PS4, PS1,
PS3 and game cube? How is
everything going?
Love, Mason
Dear St. Nick
How are you doing? How
is Mrs. Claus? Thank you for
all the great presents you
have given me every year!
Just so you know Jingle and
Jolly are doing well! Can I
have a jet pack, night vision
goggles, a Wii U, and a
tablet? I would like an F150
truck, too. Could you bring
me an elf on the shelf, a fly-
ing reindeer and an iTunes
card?
Your friend, Jace
Dear Santa,
What I want for Christmas
is Legos because I like to
build with them. First you
can build whatever I want. I
can build a car and then I
can build a ship. Next, if you
mess up, you can rebuild it.
Love, Evan
Dear Santa,
I would like a kitten for
Christmas. I would sleep
with him. I would lay him
down. I would put him to
sleep. I would feed him. I
would give him kitten
food. I would give it tuna
fish. I would play with
him. I would give him a cat
ball. I would give him cat
toys. That what I want, a
sweet, cute, loving, nice,
orange fluffy kitten for
Christmas.
Love, Katelyn
Dear Santa,
I would like five books
about fairies for Christmas
because to read lots of books
at Christmastime. I want to
read with people such as
friends and family. I also
want to read for hours and
hours. I hope Santa brings
me five books about fairies
for Christmas.
Love, Paycie
Dear Santa,
What I want for Christmas
is more hats and shoes. I
only have one hat and I
want a cool flat bill. I would
so like more shoes because
my shoes always get really
wet in the rain. Please put
them in a box. I don’t want
my shoes to get wet. As you
can see, I want a new cool
flat bill hat and new shoes.
Love, Bryan
Dear Santa,
I am so happy to sing with
you and your friends. This
year I have been asked to
work hard and to do my
best. Just a few days ago, I
turned 8. And you are going
to have carrots for your rein-
deer Rudolph, Prancer,
Dasher, Donner, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid and I’m sorry
I forgot the last reindeer’s
name. You will have a spe-
cial type of cookie for you.
Have a nice Christmas.
Kimberlyn
Dear Santa,
I hope I’m on the good
list. My elf moved to the
shelf, oven, light, ceiling,
Christmas tree and TV. My
elf looks at me all the time.
What I want for Christmas is
a play house and a new toy
dog. Maybe I’m on the good
list. And Santa tell my elf to
move my room. And Santa,
my brother will be looking at
it forever. Santa, once my
brother wanted to play with
the elf.
Madison
Dear Santa,
I am so excited for Christ-
mas. I already put up my
stockings and it was fun.
What I really want for
Christmas is a hamster be-
cause they are so cute. I will
do anything for Christmas.
Happy holidays Santa.
From, Payton
Dear Santa,
For Christmas, I want a
chocolate pen and I also
want Minecraft: Story Mode
and I also want you to sur-
prise with a present for me
that you know you should
give me for Christmas. I
hope I am on the good list
and that you have a good
Christmas.
Diego
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
