A sampler of Dear Santa letters, part two
Thank you to Miss Daniels' 3rd-grade class at Ada Elementary for sharing their letters to Santa. There will be two more installments. Today we have letters from Lilly, Eastlyn, Noah, Decker, Lukeus, Carmine and Maverick.
Dear Santa,
How many cookies do you eat during Christmas Eve? I’m so excited for Christmas this year with my family.
Here are three presents that I would like for Christmas. First, I really want a Littlest Pet Shop because you can get so many different kinds of them. You can get over a thousand accessories and they have cute little bobbly heads. You can also get a thousand little animals. Then, I would also like a Little Live Aqua Dragons LED Light up Hatch and Grow Aquatic Pets. I want this because you feed it and aquatic dragons come to life! Finally, I would like bed sheets with dragons on them. I think it would match the theme of my room and I love dragons. It would blend in with my stuffies. In the end, these are a few things that I would like for Christmas.
I have been good and I deserve to be on the nice list. First, I should be on the nice list because I help my mom with Serenity. I help mom make a bottle for Serenity. I also help my mom put Serenity to sleep. I also help my mom make a bath for Serenity. Next, I should be on the nice list because I help my friends when they are hurt. I also do well in school. I also help my friends when they are sad. I also make my friends laugh. After that, I have been very helpful with my family. I helped my dad clean the snow off the driveway. I also helped my brother, Slade, build a snow fort and I built a house for a snow fairy. As you can see, I have been very good this year. I also miss you.
Love,
Lilly Gossman
Dear Santa,
Here are three presents that I would like for Christmas. The first thing I want is a cotton candy machine because I love cotton candy. Cotton candy is good and people love it too. Then, I want a new football because I want to go and play with it in the summer and that my brother Jayson loves football and my dad might let us play with it in the summer. Finally, I want a Nintendo Switch because I can play on it all day. A Switch is so cool. I want it in orange if they have that. In the end, those are some things I want for Christmas.
I have been good and deserve to be on the nice list. First, I think I should be on the nice list because I am a good boy. I do a lot to be on the nice list. Next, I should be on the nice list because I am so nice and I do my work. I do my homework too. I should be on the nice list because I do what I am supposed to do. After that, I should be on the nice list because I do my morning work and I listen to the teacher. As you can see, that is why I should be on the nice list.
From,
Noah Gould
Dear Santa,
How do you never get old? I was also wondering if Rudolph is old too? How old is Mrs. Claus?
Here are three presents that I would like for Christmas. First, I really want a toy T-Rex so I can play Jurassic World. Then, I really want an Indominus Rex so my T-Rex can battle. Finally, I really want an arc car Jurassic World Jeep so the dinosaurs can fight and then dinosaurs can chase the Jeep around and go to sleep.
This year I think you will find my name under the nice list. I think I should be on the nice list because I am kind to others. I help out around the house and do chores. In the classroom I am nice to my friends and do my classwork. All in all, these are just a few reasons why I think I’ll be on the nice list.
Love,
Decker Hall
Dear Santa,
How do you get to every single house like really? Anyways, here are some things I want for Christmas. First, I really want a microscope because I want to look at a water droplet. I wanted it last year. I want to look at a grain of sand. I want it to be blue. Then, I want a PS5 for FORTNITE so I can play with my friends like Kam, Kaydin and Cannon. I want V-bucks with it. Finally, I really really want a Nintendo Switch to play Mario Kart. I also want to play Super Smash Bros. In the end, these are some things I want for Christmas.
Also I think I should be on the nice list because I moved stuff with my mom for Christmas. Next I should be on the nice list because I always bring my dad a drink. He always asks me to go to the sunroom and get his drink because it is very cold in there in the winter.After that, I should be on the nice list because I feed my dog and guinea pig daily. I bring my guinea pig’s salad every day. I give my dog her food. As you can see, I should be on the nice list.
Love,
Lukeus Kitelinger
Dear Santa,
I have a question for you, where do your reindeer sleep when you are done
giving out presents to all the kids around the world?
Here are three presents that I would like for Christmas this year. First, I really want a VR for this Christmas. I want a VR because you put it on your head and it looks like real life. You can pick whatever game you want and you download it and then you can play the game. There are controllers you hold in each hand and there are buttons on the controller that you press to control the game you are playing.
Then, I want a ticket to an Ohio State game for the next thing I want for Christmas. I want a ticket to an Ohio State game because I want to see Jeremiah Smith score a touchdown. I also want to see Sayin throw a really good throw to
Jeremiah Smith for the touchdown.
Finally, I want a portal for Christmas. I want a portal because you can play it wherever you go, but it only works if you have a PS5. Good thing I do. You can connect it to your PS5 so you can play it on a really long car drive. In the end, these are some big gifts I want for Christmas. I would enjoy them if I get at least one of those three big gifts for Christmas.
I have been good and deserve to be on the nice list. First, I deserve to be on the nice list because I help my mom clean up the living room and the girls’ room. I help her cook dinner and give her the stuff she needs to cook dinner. I help my dad by cleaning the house and I make my bed. I fold the blankets in the living room. I make my dads bed to help him out. Next, when we are going out to dinner or we are going shopping or just when we are leaving the house I will buckle Markie in her car seat. I will make my mom’s drink for her when she is thirsty. I will put down forks, knives, spoons and drinks at the table when it is time to eat. After that, I help my mom by doing my homework. I help my mom by sometimes doing the laundry. I help my dad by putting my backpack up when I get home from school. So that's why I should be on the nice list. As you can see, I was good and deserve to be on the nice list because I told you how good I’ve been with my mom and my dad. And that’s why I think I deserve to be on the nice list.
Love,
Carmine Lanuto
Dear Santa,
I have a couple questions for you. The first thing I was wondering is what happens when your elves get tired when they are making presents? Also I was wondering what your favorite type of cookie is? I am so excited for Christmas this year!
Here are four presents that I would like for Christmas. The first thing I want is to spend time with my family. I like spending time with them because it's fun. The next thing I want is a Jeremiah Smith Jersey. I want a
Jeremiah Smith Jersey because I like Ohio State. I also really like cars
So I would like some cars. I want cars because they are loud and fast. My mom has been saying she wants a trip to Florida. So I would really like a trip to make my mom happy and to go to Florida.
Here are some things I've been doing to try to get on the nice list. I think I should be on the nice list because I have been letting my dog out, getting him food and water. I should also be on the nice list because I am nice to my sisters and I watch movies with them. I love my sisters with all my whole heart. After that I also have been helping my mom with my sisters. I also help my teammates with my basketball skills. I also got good grades in school. As you can see, I told you all the things I want for Christmas and that I've been trying to get on the nice list this year. P.S. Also bring presents to my sisters too.
Love,
Maverick LaRue
