Dear Santa Claus,
I would like to tell you that right now we are in the situation of our house getting built so we are in the camper in the barn. So the tree is going to be in the tack room.
Things I did good this year I helped my dad with my horse Candy, I helped my parents and me move, and I am doing good in school. My first report card I got all As and only one B.
I would like a digital camera, some Big Apple Barn books in hard cover, a stuffed animal and something blue for a horse. I have Big Apple Barn Happy Big Plan by Kristin Earhart illustrated by John Steven Gurney.
Thank you for the presents every year.
Your friend, Santa,
Cassity

Dear Saint Nick,
Hi, what are you doing? Speaking of Santa, at gymnastics we have secret Santa’s. I love Christmas. Did you ever imagine seeing a gymnastics meet. If you want to see one, you can come see mine. If you can’t come see me, then I will tell you when I e-mail you on emailSanta.com. Can you please help the orphans get toys and clothes? Is it fun in the North Pole? I think it would be. I will come and see you at the Mall. I want a scooter for Christmas. Who is your favorite reindeer? How much do you like Christmas? Merry Christmas!!
Love,

Dear Sweet Old Man,
I thank you for all the presents. There is one thing I want to know though. How are you and Mrs. Clause? I will happily announce that I thank my family and your elf and Mrs. Clause! I was wondering though if you would be kind and get me a few things. My little brother would like you to give him a million dollars for some reason. My big brother wants something but I don’t know what. I wish my family got anything they wanted.
Happy Christmas,
Lindsay
Dear Santa,
I really want to see Rudolph. My name is Karli and what I want is another dog that looks like Carter. Then he would have a friend and he would be happy. How are the reindeer? Oh and one more thing, can I have earrings please? Has Mrs. Claus made any cookies lately or knitted a hat? I need one. Can I go sledding with you and Rudolph?
Love,
Karli

From Old St. Nick
Hi Santa Claus. I hope you have a good Christmas. You are a jolly person. Unlike other people. Happy Christmas Santa Claus. Love Nick.
P.S. “You are just like me.”
P.P.S. I hope you have a good Christmas day.
P.S.S. and a happy new year. I have been very good I think. I want some magic tree house books, any of these numbers 16, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14. That’s all I want. Because I have 17-24. Because you are nice.
Love Nick
Dear Santa,
I hope your reindeer are healthy and ready for Christmas this year. Make sure your reindeer are filled with flying gass so they don’t fall to the ground. Is it hard work making all those toys for all the kids and adults? I think it would be. Are the elves working hard and staying out of trouble? Do you like drawing pictures and do you get to sit down and do something fun or are you too busy making toys?
Your friend,
Allyson
P.S. Is Mrs. Claus doing good.
P.P.S. The only thing I want for Christmas is for you to have a nice fly!
Dear Santa Claus,
I have been working really hard on my reading it is getting easy for me. Do you like to read if so what books do you like to read. I have milk and cookies on the fireplace but did you eat supper? If not no cookies and milk.
I had a good year Santa. I hope you had a good year too. I hope you have a good Christmas. I hope you give me a wii.
Sincerely,
Luke

P.S. Is it as cold in the Northpole than in Rapid City?
Dear Santa,
I have tried to be so good. I have might have did a few bad things. But maybe an accident. I will try so hard to be 100% better. Please can I have a really good Christmas. I do not want a toy, all I need is a marvelous Christmas. At this moment I do not now if you can give me that. But Santa can you try. That’s all I want.
Have A Merry Christmas.
Sierra

My cat is very sad and he is 122 in cat years. Can you make him happy and make him run and chase my ball? My dad is going to take some of my cats to the pound because all they do is sit and be lazy. Can you make them run around a little bit so my dad doesn’t take them to the pound? I want a L.T. jersey because he is really good running back. I want a Larry Johnson jersey because he is good too. Then I want football and baseball cards.
Love,

Love,
Grace
P.S. Is Rudolph real?
P.P.S. If Rudolph is real, does he have a red nose?
Dear Santa,
My name is Danielle. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Would you please try and get my parents back together? They are getting a divorce and if you try I will be happy. I think you are the best Christmas present I could ever have. Could you please try? Would you say “Hi” to Rudolf please? Santa, how is Mrs. Clause? How are the reindeer? I wish I could see you in real life but I can’t because some people don’t want to be seen. Also if I see you, you will disappear because you have been seen. If I blow your secret, then you might give me nothing for Christmas. Then I will be sad. Would you want me to be sad? I don’t want to be sad. I have to be good and not swear. Can I tell you what I want for Christmas? I want a password journal, makeup, a scooter that goes 15 miles per hour. Mary Christmas.
Love,
Danielle
Dear Santa,
I want a remote control boat because my mom wants me to have it. How are your reindeer? Do you have a dog? My sister, Sydney, wants a Barbie. My baby sister, Taylor, wants a teddy bear. I am seven years old. Merry Christmas!
Love,
Jacob
Dear Santa,
What I want for Christmas is one thing, a Baby Alive. Now I want you to answer some questions please. How do you get to every house in one night? How did the reindeer get their magic power? Does Mrs. Claus make the toys or do the elves make the toys? Are the elves your kids?
Love,
Jada
Dear Santa,
Thank you for all of the great presents last year. I loved all of them! So far the last Christmas was my favorite ever.

P.P.S. I love Rudolf, and Comet is my favorite.

Sincerely,
Anthony
