Dear Santa,
Santa, I wish I could see you for Christmas. I want stuff for a pet owl. I want my cat Darkness. I want all Phantom Force Packs in the world in English and all Pokemon games.
Jordan
Dear Santa,
I hope the North Pole isn’t too cold. My Christmas wish is just a phone and a 3DS. I probably don’t deserve one because I have been bad this year.
James
Dear Mr. Claus,
Is it cold in the North Pole? Well if it is too cold I understand, but if it’s not you can bring me toys! I will make a list of the toys I wished for the past year.
1. Giant TMNT Leonardo Toy (stuffed animal)
2. Horse (real life)
3. Tree House
Emma
Dear Santa,
I hope you have a good Christmas. I don’t know what I want for Christmas, but I hope you get what you want.
Ava
Dear Santa,
I hope you are not too cold up there. All I want for Christmas is food.
If you did not get that I will spell it. F-O-O-D. Food.
I love to eat food as you can tell.
You just have to put it in a lunch box.
Addison
Dear Santa,
I hope you bring me a baby puppy that is a girl and a video game to go with it. Please tell Scout that I am sorry for saying something mean to him.
JJ
Dear Santa,
Maybe can I get a sled and a parrot for Christmas? And maybe some crackers for the parrot? And do not forget the presents!

Dear Santa,
I have been really good this year. Every time I go to school I do my best. I really want a violin because I want to learn how to play it.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!
