Letters To Santa
Many kids from Manteca, Ripon and Lathrop wrote letters to Santa and we will publish them, as they were written, daily through Dec. 24th. These letters are from Mrs. Berhorst’s fifth-and sixth-grade class at New Haven Elementary. Dear Santa, Hi my name is Tatum and I go to New Haven School. Our Teacher Mrs. Berhorst is having us write a letter to you so I thought I would tell you she is having a baby girl an I think it would be nice if you got her dipers or clothes for Christmas. I think it is super I get to write a letter to you! How are your elves? I hope you have a fun Christmas delivering presents and eating cookies and milk. Thank you again and have a wonderful Christmas! Love always, Tatum Andreetta Dear Santa, The reason why I am writing you is to tell you… how extraordinary you are, and maybe to tell you what I want for Christmas. But, first I just have to ask how do you deliver all those presents in less than 24 hours? Maybe that is why you eat so many cookies that night. (Not that I have a problem with that!) Santa you deserve a big THANK YOU! Some people just do not appreciate all of the work you, your elves, and your reindeer do for all of the kids around the world. I will make sure that I have some GOOD desserts out for you on Christmas Eve! Do you mind me asking… What is your favorite dessert? Again Santa, thank you for all of the things you do for me and the kids all around the world. Right about now you are probably thinking when is this little girl going to tell me what she want she wants for Christmas? Well….this is what I want for Christmas…. The first thing is and IPod touch 5, 32 GB, and the color I want is pink. The reason why I want an iPod is… my old one (well it is not actually mine. I just play with it like it is mine) is sooooo slow. It has a tiny screen and the new one has a way better camera. The next thing on my list is an Instagram account. I want an Instagram account because it is the latest trend for social media and all of my friends have one. They always talk about things that are on Instagram and I always feel left out. The last thing I want is heart earrings and bow earrings (if my ears do not get infected and I have to take them out.) The reason why I want these earrings is because my ears are newly pieced and I do not have any earrings. I could keep going but I already sent a letter in so I don’t want to waste your time reading the things I want that I already told you about. I hope this letter makes your day! HAVE MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love, Stephanie Franzia Dear Santa, I believe in you and I think you are really nice to kids. Every year I leave cookies and milk out for you, and when I wake up presents are under the three and the cookies and milk are gone. You always bring me nice presents and I am thankful for that. I hope you will do the same for me and my family this year. I appreciate
it when you make everybody in my family happy. Thank you for all you do for us. It is very thoughtful of you to bring us presents. Your presents are always really fun to play with. The presents you bring me, most of the time, are what I really wanted. Thank you! Sincerely, Corwin Snyder Dear Santa, For Christmas this year I just want anything. I like movies, pandas, and drawing, but for Christmas I really want my family to be happy and not angry. I also want my brother to get a present, even if he calls me funny names. Maybe for Christmas I would like to get a few books. Thank you Santa. Sincerely, Allana Chau Dear Santa or Saint Nick, My name is Joshua Lucas. I bet you and your elves have been busy. What I want is… a PS4 but of course you don’t have to get it for me. Bye Santa. Have a great X-mas. Sincerely, Joshua R. Lucas Dear Santa, Thank you for every thing and that I hop you have a verry good chrisma and that I hope you have a good thanksgiving. Thank you!!! Sinciry, Cassie Derma Dear Santa, I hope you like my cookies and milk and our Christmas lights. I can’t wait for my family to come over and eat and play. For Christmas I want a BMX Scooter or rc car. Thank you. Sincerely, Manny Rattu Dear Santa, For Christmas I want the I Phone 6 + and the Xbox 1. For my mom, Please bring a Rang Rovr. For my baby brother Please leav a scootrr. My other brother would like call of duty Advanced warfar. Thank you! Sincerely Jose Aceves Dear Santa, This year I know that I have been naughty and nice, and I’m working on that. You’re probably thinking that I’m just another child wanting more and more presents each year, but actually I’m the opposite. Now, since I’m older I’m wanting less each year. I already have what I want… my family. That’s why I’m only asking for three items…. Well, two items. The first one is the Infinity game which seems really cool. The second is some Lego Friends. Lastly, I want my family to enjoy Christmas and to celebrate Jesus’ birthday. Thank you soooooo much. I’ll make sure to give you extra cookies. Thanks again! Love, Molly Schmidke (P.S) Don’t worry I’ll leave extra carrots for the reindeer. Dear Santa, I have been nice and naughty all year. What I want is a pro scooter, iphone 5S. Christmas day is going to be a good day. I am going to leave milk and cookies for you. I hope you enjoy them. Make sure you leave the presents under the tree. Merry Christmas! Sincerely, Tyler Williams Rivera

Hello Santa, This is Isabella. Christmas is my favorite holiday. It’s my favorite holiday, because I get to spend time with my family. I think I know a lot about you. Your favorite food is cookies and milk, but I don’t give you milk. My mom says, “Don’t you think he’s had a lot of milk?” So we give you water instead. I wonder if your reindeers ever get tired. Hopefully, all of my sisters are good enough this year, including me, so that you can come by my house this year. Sincerely, Isabella Meli Sandoval
Dear Santa, I personally think I should get toys instead of coal, because I feel like I’m a very giving person. I know you check that list twice, but can you check it three times just for me please.
