Dear Santa, Am I on the naughty or nice list? Is Rudolph real? I will put out a lot of cookies and milk for you and the reindeers. I will also leave reindeer food I promise.

Can you put our Christmas presents under the white tree and my parents presents under the green tree? Can I also get an IPad? Merry Christmas. Love, Kasey Dear Santa, How many Children are on the naughty and nice list? How is Humpty the elf? Hopefully I can buy you some cookies and for the reindeers I will get them some celery. I want to take a picture with you. I am doing great at school because Mrs. Aalbers is the best teacher in the entire universe. For Christmas, I want a Magic Tree House pack and a Flutter by Fairy.

It wasn’t all grins and giggles Tuesday night at the Hampton Public Library. Tate Hesse, 1-year-old son of Casey Ditch and Chris Hesse, was less than impressed with Santa Claus, and he let everyone know it. (Photo by Nick Pedley, Hampton Chronicle) Dear Santa, How have your elves been? Can I get a iPad for Christmas? I was nice a lot. I don’t hit or punch or knock out people. I just ask people if I can play with them. I like presents, too. Am I on the naughty list or on the nice list? Why do you fly with reindeer every Christmas? Why is your name called Santa Claus? Hey Santa Claus, do you love to give presents to people because I love presents a lot because you get to play with them and they are orange and white and green and blue. Love, Dalton

Dear Santa, Have I been good? Tell me if I did. If I have been good, I want a Wii 2. I have a question, though. Do you write the Christmas songs? Because I like them when I hear them in my school. I have a folder with all of them. Love, Monica Dear Santa Claus, What I want for Christmas is a Wii and a X-Box One and a tablet with a lot of games and a transformer or a tv or a lot of toys. I would also like a sleigh. Your Friend, Anthony
