Dear Santa, Christmas is my favorite holiday, because you can get a lot of presents and spend time with your family if you can’t see them. Do you have any children? Only 11 more days until Christmas time, that is so exciting. All I want for Christmas is for my cousin to be happy because their dad/my uncle died last week, so it is sad for them, so I hope you can do that for me, that would be great. And if you can, can you give them each like two or three more presents? It will make them so happy because they only get two or three presents each year. Their names are Jaron, Trinity, and Gabe. They will be so thankful for it. They, and my family, are going through a hard time without him. We all really miss him. He was a great dad/uncle. My cousins and aunt gotta say goodbye, but I never got to. I don’t know if we are going to have a funeral, but I hope we do, and my mom and I can go to the funeral because he is my uncle, so I should go to his funeral. So I hope you can give them their wishes to thank you. Sincerely, Charlotte. Merry Christmas, Santa Claus.
Dear Santa, I hope you’re doing well. I don’t want a lot for Christmas. The only thing I want is to know you’re real and the elfs I have are real. I’m to not think Christmas is a real holiday. I think you and the elves are not real. I still love the holiday Christmas, but I just don’t think Christmas magic or anything else is real. So if you could make me believe in you again, that would be great. Thanks. Love, Ricki.
Dear Santa, How are you? I’m so thankful that you gave us presents. What I would like for Christmas is a gymnastics bare, and I would like a gymnastics beam, and paint markers, and coloring books, and coloring pencils. My very favorite thing I want is a phone.
