Fourth-graders at two Mehlville elementary schools — Bierbaum and Forder — and second-graders at Beasley Elementary School wrote the following letters to Santa Claus:
Dear Santa,
What kind of cookies do you like? How are you doing? I’ve been good to my mom every day. I helped my mom put the lights up. I have been getting greens at school. I want an iPod for Christmas. And a puppy for Christmas. And I love my family just the way they are. And make my mom feel better because she’s sick.
Merry Christmas!
Your friend, Alexis
Dear Santa,
I like Christmas! I want cool presents. I want a real life Pokémon. I want Pikachu and Mew and Pokémon cards. I will be happy when I get all the presents.
Sincerely, Danny
Dear Santa,
How are you down at the North Pole? I hope you’re OK. You’re the most important. All I want for Christmas this year is for everybody to be happy. Merry Christmas, Santa. Bye.
Your friend, Micah
Dear Santa Claus,
How have you been? I went on the Polar Express. On Christmas Eve, can you send the real one? My sister Ruby really wants a Rouge Plush.
I would like more Sonic the Hedgehog stuff! How cold is it in the North Pole? I really want to know.
I have to go now. Bye! Merry Christmas!
Grace
Dear Santa,
How are you doing? Is Rudolph ready? I think Christmas should have at least three days, kind of like Hanukkah. But our parents might be broke. We might not get any gifts for our birthdays! Hope you liked it!
Your friend, Emily
Dear Santa,
Thank you for all the toys last year. I want to know how Mrs. Claus is doing?
For this year all I want is a bike, a doll and a DS. I hope you have a great flight.
Your friend, Kameryn
Dear Santa,
Thank you for giving me presents last year. How are you doing Santa?
I have been good this year because I have been giving presents to my family. For Christmas I want a Victorian doll.
Your friend, Jade
Dear Santa,
Thank you for the presents last year. I really appreciate it. Are you feeling good?
Here are the number one to three favorite things I want: a Kinect, Smackdown vs. Raw 2012 and Skylanders.
Your friend, Gavin
Dear Santa,
My name is Bryon. I go to Beasley. I’m 7 years old. I’ve been a good boy this year. Do you have a movie theater in the North Pole? What do you do over the summer?
All I want for Christmas is a bell. I hope it is not too late.
Your friend, Bryon
Dear Santa,
How are you and Mrs. Claus doing? I know I’m doing good. I want some things.
Here they are: Xbox 360, a Nerf gun and a new drum set.
Some ways I have been good are I help my mom clean, I’m nice to people, and I’m nice to my sister. Merry Christmas.
Your friend, Jackson
Dear Santa,
I go to Beasley. My name is Isaac. The cool guy. You remember me right? I really want red Pumas for Christmas. That is all.
Do you know there is one of your elves at my house? Happy Hanukkah!
Your friend, Isaac
Dear Santa,
I have been waiting for Christmas all year! Are you excited for the year? I hope to you I have been good. I love Christmas.
It’s my favorite holiday and not because of the presents. I have a question: How do you deliver so many presents in a night?
Don’t you think it’s crazy, sometimes I do. Well, I want this for Christmas — a Nintendo Wii Fit with a Just Dance game and a Justin Bieber perfume. Thanks.
Sincerely, Lindsey
Dear Santa Claus,
Merry Christmas! Are you and your elves busy getting ready for the holidays?
My family sure is! I have been very good this year. I love the holidays and I have not been naughty at all.
My family usually didn’t celebrate Christmas because my family is Bosnian and we didn’t know about Christmas. But I got the spirit this year and I hope you do, too.
This year, I hope you will bring me some nice things. Some things that I would like this year are an Ipad, a $7,000 shopping spree for any store, and a new room makeover My Way.
Love, Melita
Dear Santa,
I want these please: pogo stick, a Wii, 3DS, Mario Kart 7, Nintendo puppy for 3DS, Legos, hamster, to pet a reindeer, to see an elf, a laptop, Just Dance for Wii 1 and 2 and Just Dance Kids.
Love, Sandra
Dear Santa Claus,
Merry Christmas! Are you and your elves busy getting ready for the holidays?
My family sure is! This is my favorite holiday. Thank you for all the toys. But we can’t forget that this is Jesus’ birthday.
This year, I hope you will bring me some fun toys. Some things that I would like this year are a phone, dirt bike and Play-Doh.
Love, Katie
Dear Santa,
I love Christmas! Do you? I never really saw you before but I think you’re nice and caring.
Honestly, all I want for Christmas is a puppy, phone and iPad2. What kind of cookies do you like? I will leave you some for sure. Santa, I think you are good influence.
You are nice, kind, and caring.
Sincerely, Alyssa
