Letters To Santa

Dear Santa, I really like the Star Wars Lego kits. Could you please bring me the Lego Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator Kit? And the Cars 2 Laptop? My grandparents gave me an ornament that is shaped like a key. Santa holds the ornament in his hand and the ornament flies up to my door and unlocks it. I have the movie "Santa Buddies". I like the movie. I will put cookies on my desk for you. I love you Santa. Love, Michael

Dear Santa, Hi Santa, it's Gracie. And these are the things I would like for Christmas, please. The LaLa Loopsy Silly Hair doll with dark pink hair, the Whirl N' Wear Charms Kit (I would like to make jewelry), and the dark pink Sing-A-Ma Jigs doll. My favorite thing to do at Christmas time is to decorate my own tree in my room. My favorite ornament is the letter G for my name. Santa, I want to know if you have a dog or a cat at the North Pole? Are you still sick? Last year when I saw you, you weren't feeling well. I love you, Santa. Love, Gracie Dear Santa, I have already visited you in Decatur, Illinois this year. But I would like to tell you what I would like for you to please bring me: a big Lala Loopsy doll with her eyes open and a grown-up Victoria doll. Our family decorated our house. We all have our own orna-ments. My favorite one is the one that has a princess inside the ornament. I will visit my grandparents over Christ-mas. I wish your elves could live with me and make me toys when I need them. Have a happy Christmas. Love, Jayden Dear Santa, May I please have a transformer for Christmas? Santa, why did you decide to make toys for all the boys and girls? I will leave you cookies and milk. Happy Christmas, Santa!

Dear Santa, My name is Jalyn, and I love Christ-mas. May I please have a nook reading tablet? I am 6 years old, so I need a nook for someone young. And I would like a DSi XL game system and a super Mario game to play with. Christmas is cool. And I love you, Santa. You are awesome. My Christmas tree is blue, and it is already decorated. I like the circle thingees on it that you slide on the tree. Can't wait until you come. Love, Jayln Dear Santa, Please bring me the WWE transform-ing rumble rig play set for Christmas and some extra wrestling figures. My brother and I can both play with this.

We will decorate our tree soon. I will leave you some food. Please get some rest, Santa. Love, Tristan Dear Santa, I would really like a dream castle and monster high figures.

We will leave cookies and milk for you. You are nice, Santa. Love, Mason

games to go with it. And for exercise, please bring an arcade alley punching bag. I can use my bare fists, but I could use some boxing gloves. If it snows, my family goes outside to make snowballs and a snowman. We have snowball fights. Do you have snowball fights at the North Pole? We have already decorated our house for Christmas. Merry Christmas Santa. Love, Ayden

the kitten to be fluffy. I don't care what color it is. I also need a kitty box for it to potty in; a bowl with 2 holes - one for food and one for drinking. And just a blanket for the kitten to sleep with me in my bed and a little pillow for it to put his head on. Nothing else, Santa. I will really love the kitten when I get to see it. How are you doing, Santa? Take care of your reindeer. Merry Christmas. Love, Kinzie

Dear Santa, I have been watching TV and I saw a commercial for these gifts. I would really like for you to bring me a new Imaginext batman cave and the figure, and the Imaginext Mega T-Rex for Christmas. The T-Rex roars and fires launchers. We are making cookies for Christmas. We have already eaten some of them. My favorite ones are chocolate chip. We will leave some for a snack, Santa. We also have put up lights outside our house and have decorated our tree. Your reindeer need to be eating lots of food. What do they like to eat? Have a happy Christmas, Santa. Love, Camden Dear Santa, I thought that I might like a Nintendo 3DS game system for Christmas. And could you please bring me some of the following games for the 3DS: Mario3dland, SpongeBob, and Mario kart? And please…a football to play with my dad.

Love, Caleb

Make sure your reindeer are eating carrots to be strong. Have a good holiday. Love, Taylor

Dear Santa, I would really like for you to try to find a real computer for me. Not one that I go online, but one that I can play game on. I like to play Golden Eye and Call of Duty. And I have been waiting for a BB gun. My dad told me to wait until Christmas…so I did. And I may go hunting with my dad, so I need some hunting boots and camouflage clothes. Santa, I wish you could wake me up when you come, so I could see your reindeer. I could pet them, and I could ride on your sleigh to get some hay for your reindeer to eat. I don't want them to be so starved. Hope you and your reindeer stay warm. Love, Hunter

Dear Santa, My sister got a puppy for Christmas, and I would really like a puppy too…a Yorkiepoo. I will feed him food and water. I think I will call my puppy Buddy. My puppy will need a bed and a blanket and a pillow. I also need tennis shoes and snow boots. I like to play in the snow. I like your reindeer and the tracks they make. Do they play in the snow at the North Pole? Your elves probably like to play in the snow, also. I sometimes say prayers for you at night, Santa…I like you. Love, Madysen

Dear Santa, I wish I could have a Dora 3-D book and the 3-D glasses. And I would like a DSI game system with some math games and some fun games.

And our Christmas tree star lights up. I have been wondering if you have a lot of elves to help you. Do you have the reindeer when they are little? You are nice and I love you. Love, Claire

And if you can, I would love to have an iPod to play games on. Getting presents and Christ-mas trees are the things I like about Christmas. I have a tree in my bedroom that has white lights. We also have a tree in our living room. The lights are white on the tree too. Do the elves make all of the presents for the kids? I bet you are all busy now. I wish you a good Christmas. Love, Jarrett

My grandmother and I will have fun playing with the house. And I would like and iPod that plays my favorite music. I love opening presents and I love Jesus' birthday at Christmas. We have a big Santa decoration hanging on our front door. We all decorated our Christmas tree. It's in our dining room. I have my Cinderella ornament and her glass slipper ornament hanging on the tree. Are you really, really busy now? Happy holidays, Santa. Love, Alonah Dear Santa, My whole family has been waiting for the Harry Potter movie Deathly Hallow, part 2. Can you please bring it for us? And, because I am a music lover, I would love to have a real piano. My favorite music is rock and roll. I already have two guitars. Maybe, when I am older I can have an electric guitar. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the presents. We put up our tree at night and put all the lights and orna-ments on the tree. We will have the Christmas lights on for you. When is your birthday, Santa? Is it in Decem-ber? You are the bestest guy in the whole world. Love, Vinny Dear Santa, I would really like some new clothes for Christmas. A dress for school would be nice…I don't care what color it is. And please bring me an iPod that plays music. I would like a pink one if you can find one. I like to sled when it's cold and snowy. Last year my dad and I went down a big hill and went into a creek, but I didn't get wet. All of our decorations are up at my mom's house. I can't

Dear Santa, May I have the Orbeez jewelry maker and the Bizu design studio: the figures are animal bracelets to wear on your wrist? Also, could I have the moon dough snack shop? It has pretend popcorn, pretend ice cream, and pretend pretzels to play with. I have an elf at home that watches my brothers and me to see if we are good. I would love to hear your reindeer's little clickety-clack on the roof. We usually leave cookies and milk on a little chair for you. Happy Christmas and take care of your reindeer. Love, Ellie Dear Santa, Last year you left me 2 Mario stuffed animals. Could you please bring me more Mario stuffed animals this year? They are awesome and I like playing with them. And I would like a real Jet-Pack that I play. I like snow to make snowballs and jump on them and it goes splat. My whole house is deco-rated. It has a lot of lights. How do you get your Naughty and nice list so fast? Have a Ho, Ho, Ho, And Merry Christmas. Love, Aiden Dear Santa, Could you please bring me a golf set for a six year old? I also need a gold bag. I will play gold with my brother. And I would like a Nerf Vortex Vigilon gun. And if you can, a WWE Rumblers Rig Play Set. I will need 2 wrestlers so my brother and I can play together. I love the holiday of Christmas because if we didn't have it we wouldn't have Jesus' birthday. And I love getting presents. Merry Christmas, Santa. Have a safe trip. Love, Logan

Dear Santa, I love to play with action figures. So, may I have the green lantern test pilot pack and a captain America figure? Also, I would like a power ranger transformer or a power ranger sword. My Christmas tree has feather, lights, ornaments, and a star at the top. We will be at my house to open presents this year. I like to stay home and open presents. I bought presents for my family today at our school. I got to choose them. Take care of your reindeer, Santa. Love, Clayton Dear Santa, I would really like for you to bring me the WWE Colossal Crashdown arena and the 3 pack WWE wrestler figures. Also, can you please bring me a Nerf gun called Raider and I would also need ammunition for it. At Christmas I like for Santa to come and I also like to decorate the Christmas tree. Our tree has white branches and white lights. I love the ornament that has a stripe in the middle and it has polka dots all over it. Our family visits relatives on different days during Christmas time. I will leave you cookies. Do you and your elves ever make a snowman? I like to make snowmen. Merry Christ-mas. Love, Mason Dear Santa, I really like the green John Deere tractors and if you can I would like one for Christmas. Also, I would like a forage wagon set that has a yellow top on it. I would also like a John Deere four wheeler. I helped decorate our big Christmas tree in our living room. We have some ornaments on our tree that are pictures of me and my sister when we were babies. Our family will go to our grandparents and to Vickie's to open presents at Christmas time. Thanks Santa, for helping my parents with my presents. Have a safe trip. Love, Owen Dear Santa, Can you please try to give me an iPod phone for Christmas? I just want to use it for a phone. Also, I would like a radio controlled helicopter and a Nerf gun. I can play with these with my friend. We will have our stockings hanging from our Christmas tree. We also like to eat pizza over the Christmas break. Are you working hard Santa? You are my good friend, Santa. Have a good trip. Love, Jordan

Dear Santa, Can you please bring me a Barbie Makeover Nintendo Ds game? You can create your own

the

r o f

person on the game and you can give them a makeover. I would also like a Liv Spa Play Set. You can dress the dolls, (I have 2), give them manicures, and fix their hair. Christmas is really nice. You bring us presents and we get to eat yummy Christmas treats. Does Rudolph really have a bright light up red nose? Have a good year Santa. Love, Sophia
