Love, Colby, age 4

Dear Santa,
I love Rudolph. I have been really good! I’ve been
nice to my sister. She’s nice to me. I would like some
candy canes and some gum drops. Some rainbow
binoculars. You can find rainbows and the gingerbread
man with them. Mommy, a tea cup. Daddy is gonna get
another gun, a rainbow gun. Lyla is gonna get another
rainbow unicorn. Pap Pap gets a new gun and Grandma
would like another coloring book. I will leave you some
rainbow cupcakes and some chocolate cake and some
chocolate milk. I love you! Please come at 6 o’clock
when it gets just dark.
Love, Corbin, age 3

Dear Santa,
I’ve been good. I love Rudolph the reindeer because
he’s good. He stops by people’s houses and helps Santa
bring presents. I’ve been good. I don’t fight with my
sister. Sometimes she gets mad at me. I don’t know why!
Please bring me Barbie car. You can drive it on the ceiling. A Gabby Doll House. She has a TV show. She has
a nacho stand. She likes nachos. I think Alayna wants a
Barbie car like me. Alayna is 8. Mommy wants a Barbe
car cause she like Barbie! Daddy wants tools, a green
screwdriver, a big hammer so he can hit the truck with
the hammer. Boom! Boom! I will leave you a stocking

reindeer. I love you Santa and I love the reindeer, too!
Love, Kylie, age 4

Dear Santa,
I love you! I’ve been better good. Bring me a present.
A little present. Baby Jesus. I have baby Jesus already

him. My daddy throw him up and catch him. I love Jesus

her best singing voice) Happy birthday to Jesus, Happy

Love, Lainey, age 3

Dear Santa,
I love you! I have been nice. Everybody in my family
has been nice. If you are not nice, we don’t get presents.
My daddy put me upside down and put me up and down
like a weight. He scares me. He snuck up on me! But he
is nice. Please bring me a unicorn and a real puppy. A
tiny one. I want a lot of presents. Are you sending this
to Santa? But Santa don’t have a phone. You have to
use magic, Mrs. Thomas, to give it to him. My mommy
wants a unicorn squishy. Daddy wants a milkshake.
Maggie wants a strawberry milkshake. Kennedi wants
a unicorn squishy too! She tells me she doesn’t have a
boyfriend. She doesn’t want a boyfriend. I don’t want a
boyfriend. They drive me crazy! I will leave you a present, a chocolate milkshake, mixed up with strawberries.
I’m gonna leave a reindeer with a nose, a Rudolph cookie.
I use red icing for the nose. And a present for him. He
comes through the chimney and leaves me lots of presents. Thank you, Santa. By the time I wake up he won’t
be there. He’ll be giving other people presents. He’ll be
at your house, Mrs. Thomas. He’ll bring you a unicorn,
unicorn boots and a chocolate chip cookie milkshake.
Love, Luella, age 5

Dear Santa,
I love you! I’ve been good. I’ve been sleeping in my
bed. I help my friends. Please bring me a doll house, a sis
stuffy and marshmallows. Please bring a laptop for Mrs.
Thomas. Mommy wants a car. Daddy wants a bookbag.
I leave you milk and cookies. I miss you!
Love, Nova, age 4

Dear Santa,
I hope you bring me a shirt like Grandma. It’s white
with a bear on it. A toy tractor with a yellow screwdriver.
Bring Grandma a pair of croc shoes and Grandad a pair
of underwear. He threw them in the garbage bin. Kim
and JD, a big tractor so I can ride on. I’ll leave you
Christmas cookies and yummy milk. I haven’t made
any yet. I’ll make them when it’s Christmas time. I want
to go see Santa. I’m gonna go to the North Pole to see
him! I’m gonna fly in a helicopter. I’m gonna buy it in
the helicopter shop!
Love, Ryan, age 4

Dear Santa,
If you say bad words, you can’t get presents. I’ve
been bad. I turned the light off in my bedroom. Mommy
couldn’t see. She got mad. Please bring me a blue track. I
want to put an owl car on it. Bring Mommy a pink track
and a pink car. Bring Daddy a race car track. He’s been
good. He sleeps in the night. Paisley wants a bouncy
ball. Colt wants a basketball like me! I will leave you
a Christmas tree. It will have cookies all over it! I will
leave you a big present! I’m gonna go pow pow at the
reindeer. Me and Daddy go hunting. He got big horns!
Love, Tucker, age 4

Dear Santa,
I have been nice. My dad been mean. He hangs me
upside down in the hallway! He picked me up and throws
me up to the ceiling! I was up there for 100 weeks. I
climbed down from the ceiling. I miss you. I hope you
get a lot of presents. I have a hat like you! I want some
presents. I want a pirate ship with pirates and Spidey. It
snaps him in a bubble trap. It drives through the water.
Oh I know! A real baby puppy that likes me. A white
one. Actually I want a lot of baby puppies! Please bring
Mommy hot cocoa. That’s what Mommy wants. She likes
it hot. Daddy wants bills. Lots of green bills. He wants
to be rich! Calvin doesn’t know what he wants. Jesse, I
don’t know what he wants. I will leave you cookies and
white milk and celeries for the reindeer. Santa already
got puppies. They play in his lap after he deliveries all
the presents! The puppies love Mrs. Claus ‘cause she
makes soft food for them. She gives them lots of milk
and cookies — 200 puppies and Mrs. Claus has 200 cats.
Love, Will, age 4

Dear Santa,
Look outside, there’s snow. There’s snow at my
house. I love snow! I be good! I want a green train.
Mommy wants a red train. Daddy wants a red train. I
gonna leave Santa some milk and brown cookies.
Isadora, age 3

Dear Santa,
How are your reindeer? My favorite is Rudolph
because I like his nose! How is your sled? Does it work?
I hope it works. I bet your sled takes gas. Probably costs
$5. I love you Santa! I think for Mom you should get
her some gold earrings. She likes gold better than silver.
Dad wants some hot sauce! Like super spicy hot sauce!
He puts hot sauce on everything. For Corbin, he likes
monster trucks. He likes that a lot actually. I usually go
to Grandma’s and open presents there and spend time
with family. Also I’m going to Colorado! I’m going to
see Curly Grandma! Christmas is basically about when
I go to church. It’s about Jesus. Mary wanted a baby. I
would love some pink cowboy boots and fairy wings!
Love you, Santa!
Toodles!
Lyla Swecker

DearSanta, how do you deliver presents in all one night?
You ride in a sleigh so it runs on reindeer. It doesn’t take
gas really. Hey Santa, how do you know how to deliver
the presents to the right houses? I know the real meaning of Christmas though. It’s all about having fun and
opening presents. I was born the day before so that’s fun.

I have a newborn! His name is Shilo Lee. You should
probably get some presents for him too. I think you
should get my mom a robot because she can’t do much
with the baby. Like a robot that does chores and stuff for
her. For Dad, maybe the same thing but does work like
working on my new house. Sam said he asked you for
a race car that goes with a track that goes really, really
fast with a remote control. I want a Spiderman monster
truck that goes lightning speed. Big wheels too. That’d
be nice. Goodbye, Santa. See you next year. I will set out
some chocolate chip cookies for you too.
Oliver Hooke

Dear Santa,
I’ve been very good this year! I helped my dad with
his chores and I made a bed too. I think that means I’m
good. I helped him put up the Christmas tree. I love my
family! I think my dad would want a PlayStation 5. He
likes to play video games. I would like a dirtbike and a
Barbie dream house! The real meaning of Christmas is
the Christmas spirit! I think that’s it. I’m leaving carrots
for the reindeer! I think you like sugar cookies so I’m
leaving some of those for you too. Bye-bye!
Lorrissa Vaus

Dear Santa,
I don’t really have any questions for ya. I would
like a dog. Not a real dog. A toy dog. Is your reindeer
sick? I got a story for you. I’ve got a secret hiding place
in Minecraft. I think my momma wants a rabbit for
Christmas. She’d name it Cooper probably. My dad
wants … I’m not too sure, actually. Well I got a story for
you. I went underground so I had an idea and I put some
goggles on to see. So I went straight. I’ll finish this story
in a little bit. I left some cookies and milk for ya. I left
carrots and apples for your reindeer also. Goodbye! See
ya! Talk to ya later!
Charles Green

Dear Santa,
I love Rudolph! He is my favorite reindeer. I love
your deer. Why did you pick reindeer? I think I would
want piggies because I love piggies. I don’t think we do
elf on the shelf but if I did I would name it Rudolph the
Red Nose Reindeer because I love Rudolph. I would like
a stuffie for Christmas. Like it’s gonna be like a piggie.
And maybe a big giant, well maybe not a big giant but
pretty big unicorn. You should get my mom a coffee
because she loves coffee. My dad would like maybe
like a big John Deer tractor. For my sisters they would
want a stuffy lipstick. We usually leave out cookies like
a Christmas tree and some Rudolph cookies. Bye Santa!
Love you! Have a good day!
Atlee Brock

Dear Santa,
How are you and Mrs. Claus doing? How are your
reindeer and your elves doing? I have been trying to be
really good this year. I do my homework even though I
really don’t want to. I practice my “little books” every
night. I try to obey my parents and I try to do my best at
school. Do you think the elves could make me a Barbie
doll? Just a regular Barbie doll? My mom would like a
new ring and some make-up. My dad could use some new
clothes. Santa, I will leave out some milk and cookies for
you. I will leave your reindeer some carrots and some
candy canes. I know you know where I live. Be sure and
look for my mailbox. Thank you Santa! Bye!
Aurora Bucker

Dear Santa,
Can I please have that big Grave Digger? I asked
you before. Do you think I could have it now? Over
Christmas I love spending time with my family. I love
them very much. How are Dancer, Prancer, and Steve
doing? Does Steve check the temperature at the North
Pole? Is it super cold up there? Santa, I really love you.
I am going to make a looking book for you. I will leave
you some colored cookies and milk and some carrots for
your reindeer. We will have to get some more carrots at
the store. We don’t have any more in our garden. I think
we will get a lot of carrots for your reindeer. I know they
get tired from all their flying and gliding. I also want a
T-Rex that smells like cherries and strawberries. It has a

chomp button on it but it doesn’t turn his head sideways.
I don’t know what my brothers need but could you bring
them something special? My mom needs a coffee cup that
makes coffee by itself. My dad needs a new cup for his
beer. Santa, I would like a tiger also. I have tried to be a
really good boy this year. I have tried and tried. I try my
best and I try to not be so active. Could your elves make
me a stuffy octopus too? I lost mine. Merry Christmas,
Santa and Mrs. Claus!
Jesse Springer

Dear Santa,
What are you doing at the North Pole? Is there a
lot of snow there? I have been a good boy this year. I
have an Advent alendar and I also have Elf on a Shelf.
We have Christmas decorations hanging in our house.
We have our stockings up too. Could you bring me a
Nintendo and one of those Gravediggers that little kids
can fit in? My brother would like an electric scooter/
pedal bike and some insulated boots. My mommy needs
a new pot to cook with. My daddy said he wants some
insulated gloves. We will leave you some Santa cookies
and Grinch cookies and also some milk. We could also
use some garden tools too. My mom goes out and works
in the garden so I’d like some tools to be able to help
her. Say hello to Mrs. Claus and the elves. I wish you a
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Colton Chandler

Dear Santa,
Are you and Mrs. Claus doing good? How are your
reindeer? I hope they’re good. I would really like to have
a reindeer to keep forever. I would feed it food and brush
its teeth. I would be nice to it and feed it every time. It
would be my favorite pet. I will love and pet it every
day. Santa, I will leave you some French fries and some
carrots for your reindeer. Would you like some soda with
your fries? I might leave all of you some gingerbread
cookies. I hope you put candy in my stocking. I promise
I will go to bed early before you come. I might sleep
on the couch but I won’t wake up. I love you so much
Santa! Goodbye!
Henley Hedrick

Dear Santa,
Do you think you can bring me some Pizza Bites?
My Mom needs butter and eggs. We do not have enough.
My brother Levi wants a bumper cart. Gabe wants one
too. You bump with it. My little sister could use some
little toy cows and she really likes Cookie the Cow. We
will leave you some cookies Santa. I wish I could put
a rope on a cookie and catch you, Santa. I want to talk
to you about my brothers. I wish they would stop being
mean to me. And Santa Claus, I wish I could have a
helmet so that when you open its mouth it roars. Santa,
I really like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. I really
wish we could have a new Christmas tree. Nanna gave
us her old one. I wish for Nanna to get some glue on
fingernails that are really long. Santa, I hope you have a
Merry Christmas! I hope my Papa does too.
Malachi Campbell

Dear Santa,
How are you and your reindeer doing? How is Mrs.
Claus? Do you have much snow? I have been a really
good boy. Do you think your elves could make me a
robot? It could make sounds and dance too. I would
like a dinosaur that makes sounds too, please. My mom
would like some popcorn. My dad needs some new socks.
My sister would like a pink teddy bear. I will leave you
some cookies and milk and some pepperoni too. I hope
you and Mrs. Claus have a good day! Merry Christmas!
Carter Cole

Dear Santa,
How are you? How are your elves and Mrs. Claus?
I have tried to be a good girl, but only sometimes. I am
bad sometimes on Mondays and Tuesday at home. I am
going to try to be really good though. Do you think your
elves could make me a unicorn toy? My mommy needs
another chicken toy that is black and gray. Daddy needs
some new tools like a saw for wood to cut up for fire.
Santa, I will leave you a cookie and some milk. I will
also leave some carrots for your reindeer. My pets could
use some new treats. The doggies love treats. Santa, you
can land your sleigh on my roof. Look for the sign in the
yard. My daddy is going to make it. It will say, “Hailey’s
House.” I will go to bed early before you come. You can

come in my front door. Be careful so you don’t slip on
the snow and ice. Merry Christmas Santa. I love you!
Hailey Hise-Howard

Dear Santa,
How are you? How is Mrs. Claus and the reindeer?
Do you have a lot of snow? I have tried to be a good
boy! Could your elves make me a toy motorcycle? My
Mamaw would like some make-up. My mommy would
like some make up too. Would you like me to leave you
some cookies and milk? I can leave your reindeer some
carrots. Santa, I hope you and Mrs. Claus have a very
Merry Christmas!
Junior Allen

Dear Santa,
I saw you! You were in my driveway! You gave my
little baby brother a toy. It can play music. How do you
make the toys? Especially Barbies. Or baby dolls? My
mommy wants no kids! My daddy wants a new stuffy
like a toy bear so he can sleep with it. I call him baby
daddy. My baby brother wants a real baby giraffe. My
sister wants Santa to come. I would love to get scissors,
play phone, baby food, and plates. Jesus was born on
Christmas! Also Jesus. I was born on Christmas too. You
gave me a baby giraffe. I’ll make you some gingerbread
house cookies! Oh and ornaments. Maybe some Rudolph
the Red Nose Reindeer. And he had a shiny nose! I wish
I could hold you! I love you Santa and I love your elves
and all your reindeer! Bye!
Elizabeth Terry

Dear Santa,
I want Christmas! And toys! I want a dinosaur! I
don’t want a basketball or monster truck. Colby wants
a Pokemon! Mommy wants a cow! Daddy wants, um,
I don’t know. We don’t give Santa cookies or carrots.
Weston Clark

Dear Santa,
I love you Santa! I like your reindeer and I also like
Rudolph the red nose reindeer! I’ll make gingerbread
cookies and put marshmallows on top of them for you!
I think Alan would want nail polish and maybe a little
puppy dog. Lena bug would want probably a kitty or a
toy reindeer. My mommy loves sleep so maybe a bed.
My daddy would love a brand new dirt bike cause he
just sold one of his. I want a Honda dirtbike! 5,000
dirtbikes actually! The real meaning of Christmas is
being nice. Oh, wait! Jesus was born on Christmas. So
was Jesse! I think. I usually leave out cookies and milk
for you. Chocolate chip cookies are good. You give me
so many presents when I leave you cookies. I have my
driver’s license. Also gonna leave some carrots for your
reindeer. I think I should be on the nice list. I’ve been
nice in school, right? I have been kind to my friends and
they are all my best friends and I love them. I promise
to be good to my friends all year. I promise, I promise!
Love you and bye-bye!
Axel Beverage

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? How are your reindeer doing?
I have been a really, really good boy. My brother and
I could use a little 4-wheeler. Do you think the elves
could make it? Santa, look for my decorations on my
tree at my house. My little sister needs some milk and
some stuffies and maybe some books. Santa, I will leave
you some goldfish crackers and a Sprite for a snack. I
will leave your reindeer some carrots. I hope you have
a great day. I love you!
Gabe Pullin

Dear Santa,
I hope you are doing good! How are your reindeer
and Mrs. Claus doing? I would like a Spider Man toy
if you can get the elves to make it. My big brother Levi
would like a football please. My little brother would like
a little 4-wheeler. My sister would like a Barbie house.
We have all been really good. My mommy needs a new
dress and my dad would maybe like a new hat. I will
leave you some cookies and milk Santa. I will leave the
reindeer some brown grain. I hope you and Mrs. Claus
have a good Christmas with the elves. Merry Christmas!
Aiden Whitelaw

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? How is Mrs. Claus and your

reindeer? Do you have much snow up there at the North
Pole? I really don’t know what I want for Christmas.
Could you maybe bring me a surprise? Caynen could
maybe use some tools. Izzy could use a video game
controller. He loves Fortnite; that’s his favorite! My
mom needs some new sunglasses and my dad could use
a new hat. We will leave you some snacks for you and
your reindeer. My family and I celebrate baby Jesus’s
birth. We light real candles. We also have candles in our
windows. See ya!
Asa Sampson

Dear Santa,
How is Mrs. Claus? How many toys do you make
every year? I think you make 20 maybe. Cause also some
people are packing shoeboxes for the other kids that are
in need. I did. How many elves do you have? I think you
have 15! I would like Tonie’s for my Tonie box! I already
have it on your list but I really want it so I’m asking on
this one. My mom said me and SJ get a special surprise
if we do our schoolwork. I know the real meaning of
Christmas though. Jesus! Jesus king was born! We usually put up a wreath and some candles. I think you should
get SJ a Barbie just like me cause I already have a whole
set of Barbies. He could just play with mine. My mama
would probably like children who behave. She’s talking
about me and SJ. I really think my dad would like a new
teapot. I don’t really wanna tell him what happened to
the teapot cause it’s SJ’s fault cause he really did break
that. I don’t know if I should say that. We usually put
out cookies for you. This year we put out a new kind
I’ve never made. This year I’m thinking chocolate chip.
We usually give you milk and your reindeer get carrots.
I hope they still like carrots! Bye!
Everlyn Neil

Dear Santa,
Hi Santa! Rudolph is my favorite reindeer. Who is
your favorite? I bet it’s Rudolph. I’m getting a box with
ten Transformers, the big version not the little version
and I am going to donate my little ones. I think Elelber
should get cow stuffies. He definitely likes that stuff.
He already has a baby cow so he’ll ask for a grown up.
My mommy loves Legos so maybe get her that. Daddy
wants some more tools. He saves buildings. Even houses
that aren’t lived in. He saved ours that was abandoned I
think. He’s cool. The real meaning of Christmas is giving.
I usually leave out cookies and milk for you and carrots
for your reindeer. I will try to give Rudolph a yellow
carrot because he’s different. I hope you like chocolate
chip cause that’s what we give you. I love you,
Everett Simmons

Dear Santa,
I want to give a present to you. I would give you

cookies! I think you like chocolate chip. I like Rudolph
the best. I would like a necklace for Christmas. Ethan
would like clothes like Sonic. My mom would like a
kitchen. My dad would like tools to work with. The real
meaning of Christmas is Christmas Eve. Christmas is
fun because we get to open presents. I’m gonna set out
cookies and milk for you. I don’t set anything out for
your reindeer so sorry. I might get you a puppy, I just
have to ask my mom if it’s okay. I wish I could give you
a hug but bye!
Sawyer Alford

Dear Santa,
Oh boy, I got a story for you. I have a 10 story house
that I was building. It was a lot of work. I went out in
the woods and so I seen a bear. I had to run to the house
and grab my horses and other pets and so I just climbed
up in a palm tree. And I saw your reindeer Rudolph! I
think I saw you but I couldn’t tell. Isn’t that a good one?
Anyways I would like a boat for Christmas because I
was sailing and a whale and an octopus hit it so I need
a new one. I would like a shark for Christmas maybe. I
set out some cookies and milk for you. And it’s almost
Christmas cause it’s snowing. And I’m almost 900 years
old! Almost, I’m not there yet. Bye, Santa!
Charles Green

Dear Santa,
I love you! I like your home! Your elves are cool. My
elf said, “Help! We fell in a snake pit!” My elf is named
Elfie. I would like a Nerf gun for Christmas! My sister
would really want a mini bake oven. My mom doesn’t
know what she wants for Christmas but maybe a back
massage thing. My dad probably wants some Nerf guns
too. The real meaning of Christmas is probably you. I
think he was born on Christmas. I don’t put out cookies and milk for you but this year we might. Yeah we
definitely will. I love you and your elves! Bye Santa!
Owen McDaniel

Dear Santa,
Hello? Are you real? How are your reindeer? I believe in you so I hope you’re real. The real meaning of
Christmas is Jesus’ birthday! That’s why I love Christmas
so much! We make Jesus a birthday cake. Sometimes I
eat deer jerky for breakfast. I think Kelsey wants scissors
because she has an art room. I would like a Labubu. They
have different colors so I want a white one. I would name
it Ellie. My mom wants lipstick like the ones that make
your lips not dry. My dada wants a chainsaw. Like one
of the electric ones. The kind that you have to put batteries in. Oh, my grandma wants a handbag. I’ll leave out
chocolate chip or blueberry cookies with milk, and some
carrots for the reindeer. Two bowls of carrots! Thank you
for all the presents! Love you!
Lacy Terry
