Dear Santa,
I am dying to see One Direction. Will you please get me two tickets and two backstage passes?
You are the best. You are awesome.
Hanna
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like a 2DS because I wouldn’t be so bored. Also, I wouldn’t bug my dad for his phone anymore.
Yvan
Dear Santa,
I want a horse, lots of money and a sword. You should get me a horse because it would be good for exercising. It would be good for you to bring me money so I can buy school supplies.
Finally, I need a sword in case an intruder comes in. I wouldn’t hurt them, just scare them.
Kara

Dear Santa,
I need three things from you. The first thing I need is a dirt bike. The second thing I need is a 100-inch TV because the TV in my bedroom is really small. The last thing I need is a PS4 for my bedroom.
Braeden
Dear Santa,
I really want to get an iPod 5 or an Xbox 360 because the iPod 5 has great apps.
And the Xbox 360 has sweet games.
Antonio
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I need a Crayola marker maker. Three things I will do with it:
1. Make new colors. 2. Share with my family. 3. Have fun.
Bailey
Dear Santa,
What I want for Christmas is a puppy — a black puppy because I feel like my dog will die and my bird, too. So I want a puppy.
Or an iPhone 4 because what if there is an emergency and the phones are not working?
Emma
Dear Santa,
You should get me another dog because in my house my dog’s only friend is my cat.
Alyssa
Dear Santa,
There is this NFL board game that I want. I cannot think of the name for it, but I have seen it at Target before.
Henry
Dear Santa,
This year I would want some more rubber bands. The colors I want are pink, blue, black, white and dark blue. I need it really bad because I like making bracelets.
Stephanie
Dear Santa,
This year I would like a Siberian Husky puppy. 1. My mom, dad, brother and sister had dogs and I haven’t.
2. Most of my friends have dogs. 3. When I see a dog I feel sad because I never had a dog.
Dajama
Dear Santa,
I need an iPod 4 because my little brother Nate broke my old one. And if I want to play games with my friends, I could.
Josh
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is concert tickets to either Cody Simpson, One Direction or Austin Mahone. I only want the concert tickets because I really want to meet them.
Ejla
Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like a dog. A playful little dog that would keep me entertained no matter what. I’ve begged millions of times but it never works.
Nejra
Dear Santa,
May I have a laptop for Christmas? I know I’ve been good lately — not perfect. but good. The reason why I want a laptop is it will be easier to do my homework.
Olivia
Dear Santa,
I want a Double Lazer Tag Blaster because I can play with my friends and family. It’s good for exercise because you would run around a lot.
Lukas
Dear Santa Claus (Fat Awesome Guy),
I have been very nice all year. So let’s talk about the toys. I want an Xbox One, Wii U and everything that has Broncos.
Jackson
Dear Santa,
I can’t wait for Christmas. I really want American Girl Doll things. I bought a couple offline. I also want mini American Girl Dolls. I love American Girl things.
Natalie
Dear Santa,
I’m on the nice list, right? Anyway, what I want for Christmas is an iPhone because I can play games on it.
Rollerblades because I have wanted to try riding one. A really, really soft teddy bear because I LOVE SOFT THINGS.
Katheryn
Dear Santa,
I (think) I have been good this year. My mom and dad don’t usually yell at me either. Here are some things I would like: Legos, books, Rainbow Loom and some clothes.
Molly

Dear Santa,
I think I should be on the nice list this year because I do all of my chores and I am nice to my brother half of the time.
I want some headphones so I can listen to music. Also, I want an Under Armour hooded sweatshirt.
Patrick

Dear Santa,
I should be on the nice list because I am good in class and at home. I want another toy Australian Shepherd puppy because Buddy needs a friend to play with.
Also because me and Alli can have our own puppy if we take care of Buddy.
