From Jayden

Dear Santa,

You have a great job because you can fly high on your sled you get to go on the roof and go down the chimney, and you get to eat all the cookies and milk every time you go to a house. I wanted to ask you are the elves getting tired of making toys? How much do you eat? How much food do you give to the reindeers? Let me tell you about a time I was good: I cleaned my room without being asked and I ate all the geges that were put on my plate. This year I would really like a sled because some big kids jumped on my old one and a webkin because my sister has two and I have one. I have some advise for your trip. Don’t fly to close to the moon or else you won’t break.Don’t dance on the roof or you will fall down and pack some food for the reindeers because they might get hungrey

Yours truly, Oliver

P.S. By the way, how much do you weight?

Dear Santa

You have a great job because you don’t care if poor or not you just give. You never stop giving and that’s a great job. Santa I wanted to ask you is it hard to get around the world in one night? And what would you and you reindeer like to eat when you come to my house. Santa how many houses do you go to on Christmas? I was good when I helped my friend when she was hurt. And whe I feed my hamster food and water. Im areally good not bad. This year for chistmas I would really like something I could give to my class and something for my family and for me I want the movie beat it.

Dear Santa

How many elves are at the North Pole? I guess 655. I am wondering if Rudolph is a good leader? I am trying to help wherever I am. I am also trying to go to bed at 8. Some of my socks have holes in them. I was hoping I would get a pair, or two, of new socks. I want another present to be a surprise from you. I would like to be an elf at the North Pole.

I will leave cookies with milk and carrots for the reindeer.

Love, Justin

Dear Santa

I wonder if Rudolph’s nose really red? Is it going ok in the workshop? I have been helping my mom and dad. I would like an iPod Chromatic and a Webkinz Shark. I wish I could come for a ride in your sleigh. I will leave you chocolate chip cookies and Milk.

Love, Nicholas

Dear Santa

Was Rudolph crazy in training, Santa? I hope the elves are working and not singing.

I am going to do good deeds for you, Santa. I am going to listen to my mom and da, and do the laundry. I want two presents please, a Crayola Dome and a snow flake necklace.

Love, Isabel

Dear Santa

Rudolph and especially his nose are very cute, like the rest of the deer! How are the elves and their workshop? I promise to be good. I would like a stuffed puppy, SANTA! Who eats all those goodies? I wish I could see my friend Iva again, Santa. She moved to Ayr last summer. My diary key will be on the doorknob, okay? Bye for now.

Love, Stephanie

Dear Santa

How did Rudolph get a red nose? What does the elves’ workshop look like? I have been very good. I have worked hard at school. Two presents I’d like are a Wii game and a DS game.

How are you doing, Santa? I will leave out cookies and milk for you.

Love, Robert

Dear Santa

Do you know how Rudolph got his song? I hope that Mrs. Claus and the elves aren’t dancing! Santa, I’m trying to clean up the house with with my mom and dad. Can I please have a Crayola Dome and Crayola Markers, Santa? I want to go for a ride with you in your sleigh! Santa, when I’m in your sleigh, I’m going to have cookies and milk for you. Drive safely.

Love, Ryan

Dear Santa

How did Rudolph get a red nose? Is it busy in the workshop? I always try to help whenever I can! I would love a make-up kit and nail polish for Christmas. I ‘ve always wanted to go for a toboggan ride with you. Can we set up some time? I promise to leave chocolate chip cookies.

Love, Michaelane

Dear Santa

This Christmas, I am going to try to leave milk and chocolate cookies for you! How is the workshop going? Are the elves working, or are they DISCO DANCING?

Santa, do you get a cold when you are flying the sleigh on cold winter nights? Santa, is it true that Rudolph’s nose is really red?

My good deeds are: I help my mom and dad with cleaning the house and finish my homework more often.

Santa, two presents that I would like for Christmas are a laptop and earbuds for a MP3 player.

Love, Brayden

Dear Santa

Does Rudolph really have a red nose? Are the elves in the North Pole working? My good deeds include doing laundry with my mom. For Christmas, can I please have an iPod and a puppy dog? Santa, if you need help, call me. Santa, for Christmas, I am going to leave you your favourite cookies and milk. I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Love, Lina

Dear Santa

How are Rudolph and the reindeer? Are they getting ready for Christmas eve? Are the elves working hard in the workshop making toys? I would like to know. I’ve been trying to cooperate with my mom before school, and when we are going somewhere. I am also trying not to fight with my two brothers, but I’ll keep working on it until it’s perfect! I would like a DSi or if you can, a new iPod Nano please. I have always wanted a ride in your sleigh on Christmas night and help deliver toys. I think that would be impossible because you’re always busy all the time. You would not be able to pick me up. I will leave you milk and cookies on Christmas eve.

Love Tyler

Dear Santa

Hi, Santa! Is Rudolph okay for the big trip? I have good deeds! One of htem is I am going to walk my dog and I am going to feed my dog too, for dad. Santa, is the Elve’s workshop a busy place? Santa, do you know what Mrs C’s doing? I would like a DSi and a PSP. I will give you some cookies and milk.

Love, Cameron

Dear Santa

Does Rudolph really have a red nose? Are the elves working hard in the workshop? My good deeds are cleaning my room, setting the table and helping my dad cook. I would love it if you got me an Easy Bake and Bratz Globe. Do you like white milk or do you like chocolate milk and do you like chocolate chip cookies or M and M cookies? Santa, how can you go around the world in one night?

Love, Madilyn

Dear Santa

I wonder if Rudolph can fly? I hope so! How do the elves make such fantastic toys? Anyways, my good deed is helping my teacher! I hope you have been doing good deeds too. May I please have the Charlottes Web book, and a pet hamster in a cage with food, water, and everything a hamster needs. I wonder what you want for Christmas. Are the elves playing with the toys they make, or working to make lots more toys? I like riding on my sleigh, do you? On Christmas night, I would like to ride on one of your reindeer, and you can ride on your sleigh, unless you would want to ride on a separate reindeer? That way we can both go and deliver gifts to friends and family! I will promise to leave something out for you! I hope the reindeer will be good for you!

Love Hope

Dear Santa

How are you deer doing? Are your elves working hard for Christmas? I have been doing some good deeds like doing what my mom asks me to do, being a good model in school, and helping everyone, everywhere. As a present, I would like something to do with basketball, you choose! I will leave some milk and cookies for you.

Merry Christmas, Isaac

Dear Santa

Does Rudolph’s nose really glow? Are the elves going to work hard this year? I helped my mom clean the house by dusting. I would like a Bop It and a DSi for Christmas. I wish I could come with you on the sleigh on Christmas night. I am going to leave cookies out for you. Mmm!

Love Kaitlyn

PS. And milk to go with the cookies! I’ll give you 12! The cookies are going to come with a napkin, so you stay clean.

Dear Santa

Are the Elves working hard? Is Rudolph preparing for his flight? My good deed is waking up early on a school day. Can I have all the Battlefield games? Please! Can I have three new army games too! Please? You are such a jolly man. I will leave cokies for you, and a carrot. Hee, hee!

Love Nick

Dear Santa

Does Rudolph actually have a red nose? How is the workshop? Are the elves working or dancing? I picked up my dog’s poop and washed the dishes. For Christmas, I would like a DSi and the slinky dog from Toy Story. I would like a ride in yoru sleigh with my family and my dog. When you are finished, you can have cookies and milk or beer and egg nog. Just tell me in your letter back!

Love Ian.

Dear Santa

How do the reindeer fly? Are the elves making toys for Christmas? I would like a leather binder or a DS, or a knife, a jackknife, with some blades please. I would like to go on a sleigh ride with you. I will leave cookeis and milk for you. Drive well!
