Thank you to Miss Daniels' 3rd-grade class at Ada Elementary for sharing their letters to Santa. There will be one more installment. Today we have letters from Maverick, Evelynn, Canaan, Kaydin, Kaydin, and Ryder.

Dear Santa, 

Here are three presents that I would like. First, I really want a fluffy blanket. I want it because at night I will be cozy and warm. It will help me relax so it will be cozy to sleep. Then, I want some clothes. I want clothes to go to school and be cozy and it will be nice to be comfy. Finally, I want some gift cards so I can use them and get stuff in games. I want them because in games I can buy stuff for my worlds or characters.  In the end, these are just some things I want for Christmas this year. 

This year I have been good and deserve to be on the nice list. I should be on the nice list because I am kind to others. I help them out if they are hurt or fall down. Next, I help my mom clean the house. I clean the living room by folding the blankets and tidying up. At school I help people when they need help. At recess I make sure so no one gets hurt playing football. I should be on the nice list this year for Christmas because I have been good.

Love,

Maverick Lawrence
 

Dear Santa,

I have a couple of questions for you. First,  I wonder how you can ride in your sled? When it’s negative weather out like negative 9 outside and I know that riding in a sled you probably get wind in your face. Next, I wrote you a letter last year and just the cookies and milk were gone, or maybe it is that I forgot to put a pin out by the paper but I don’t think so? Finally, I have one more question for you, Santa. How do you not look like you grow older?              

Here are three presents that I would like for Christmas. First, I really want a trampoline. I really want a trampoline because the old one is broken and every time me and my brother jump on it, it makes a creaking sound and I’m scared it will give out on me and I’ll fall on my bottom. I also want a trampoline because Landon and I used to play on it all the time! We made pretty fun games!! Then, I want a book light. I want a book light because I really like reading and when I’m in the car I like to settle down by reading a little bit. And mostly it's night time. So I can’t see the words! I would like a black one if you could! Finally, I would like a soccer ball on a string because it helps me be good at fast reactions and it would also help me with both of my feet. I want to be good with my foot work so I could be on the team I like, Dr. Lee’s team. In the end, that is just some of the things I would like for Christmas. I don’t want to be greedy like the Grinch but I have a lot of things I want for Christmas.

I have been good and deserve to be on the nice list. First, I should be on the nice list because I am friendly to all my friends. I am friendly to them by always letting them join in the games I like to play. I am also kind to them by helping them with their morning work. I actually enjoy it. Next, I think I should be on the nice list because I feed my dog Dixie and play with her. I play find, egg hunt, snow ball fight, big red ball, chase fly or you can call it catch fly, bubbles, feather game, hide and seek,frisby, food game, and rope!!! After that, I try to be good at school by trying to listen and be helpful to my teacher or students. Also I try so hard to get A’s on my grade card. I also try to get student of the month and positive referrals. As you can see, I try very hard to be nice and kind to others, even animals. I really hope I’m on the nice list. If I’m on the naughty list I hope Santa checks his list more than twice. I’ll make sure you get your cookies and milk and some carrots for your reindeer Santa! 

Love, 
Evelynn Long 

Dear Santa,

Why were my Elves staring at me last night? I like finding my elves in the morning and seeing what they are up to. 

Here are a few things that I want for Christmas. First I really want a Nintendo Switch. I want a switch so I can play Fortnite and so my brother can play with me. Then I want a big Nee-doh so I can stay calm when I have a rough day at 

school. Finally I want a 67 Browns Jersey so when I watch a game the team will be proud. In the end, I really want a phone so I can text and call my mom, dad and my friends. 

I think I will find my name on the nice list this year and here are a few reasons why. First, I think I should be on the nice list because I am helpful and cheerful on my basketball team. Next, I also think I should be on the nice list because I am kind to others. After that, when I am in school I show a good example of how to behave for the younger students. For example, I walk in the hallway with a voice level zero. As you can see, that is why I think I should be on the nice list this year.

Love,
Canaan Mason

Dear Santa,

What do you do if you don’t have all the gifts ready? Do the elves have to stay up all night and keep working?

Here are some presents I would like for Christmas this year. First, I would like a duck plushie. I need it to sleep well, cuddle with it and play with it. Then, I would like an Ada bulldog shirt. I want it because I don't have  a lot.  It shines with gold and purple. Finally, I would like some Robux to spend so I can dress up my small avatar. 40,000 Robux is how to make it to the end. Those are just a couple things I want for Christmas this year. 

 I have been a good boy and deserve to be on the nice list. I help people up if they are hurt. Next, I will play with someone if they don’t have anyone else to play with. After that I help out around the house and with my sister. As you can see I should be on the nice list.

Love,
Kaydin Parkins

Dear Santa,

Do you have magic to go to all the billions of houses in one night? I think that is so cool that you can make it all around the World. 

Here are some presents that I would like for Christmas. First, I really want an iPad. I want it to have a pen that clicks into its case. I really want it to be teal. If I can, I really want a picture of The Grinch and Max on the back. Then, I really want a circle water bottle. That is normal sized. I want it to be turquoise. Finally, I really want a cotton candy machine for Christmas, this year. I really like cotton candy. It is really sweet. It is soft for me, I have no teeth in the front. I would also like a Nintendo Switch 2 if you can. In the end, I think these are all good options for my Christmas list.

I have been good and deserve to be on the nice list. First, I like helping my dad Ryan, with the guesthouse. The upstairs is getting rebuilt by my dad. He has done the drywall and the mudding. Now he is on the sanding. I can’t help him with the sanding because it would get in my eyes. Next, I like being active. I like playing in the snow. I also like playing at the pool in the summer. In the summer me and my brother do swimming lessons in the summer. After that I like to watch TV to stay out of trouble and relax my legs . I like to watch Unspeakable. He is funny and does fun videos too. As you can see, I deserve to be on the nice list.

Love,

Dear Santa,

I was wondering how many cookies you eat a night? What do you do if you get full? Where do you put the extra cookies? 

Here are a couple presents that I would like for Christmas. First I really want a hoverboard because my other one is broken and can not be fixed. Then, I would like a cotton candy machine so I can have unlimited cotton candy. This sounds absolutely delicious. Finally, I would like some Robux because I am poor in Roblox. Those are just a few ideas of what I want for Christmas. 

I think I will find my name on the nice list this year. First, I think that I should be on the nice list because I help my parents with things. Next, I think I should be on the nice list because I do well in school. I should also be on the nice list because I am very nice to my friends. As you can see, I am a very good boy and believe my name will be found on the nice list.

Love,
Ryder Robinson
