How is Rudolph? Is he cool? I like that Santa yell — Ho! Ho! How is Vixen too. I like you too. How is Dasher and Prancer and Comet and Cupid?
Love,
Keith Coplin
Dear Santa,
I have a present for Rudolph and Dasher. It is grass, but don’t tell them. If they do good pulling the sleigh, then give them it.
Love,

Dear Santa,
How is Rudolph? How is his nose? After you deliver your toys, enjoy your vacation. For Christmas I would like a toy tan horse.
Love,
Molly Farrell
Dear Santa,
I hope your reindeer stay healthy. I hope Rudolph stays healthy. Your reindeer are neat. I love you. Are you healthy? I like your reindeer. Where did you get them? Is it cold in the North Pole? I would like a dog. I would like a cat.
From,

You have a good day, Santa and Mrs. Claus and the other reindeer.
Love,

Dear Santa,
Christmas is my favorite holiday. Is Rudolph’s nose shining? Does Rudolph have a light bulb in his nose? By the way, how’s Mrs. Claus? You know what I want and my brother want for Christmas — new Game Boy DS and a game. Please write back.
Your friend,

Dear Santa,
I can hardly wait until Christmas is here. I am going to come to get my picture taken with you. I wrote to you in first grade. What do reindeer eat? Please get my mom and dad a present too. I will bring my list when I come to the mall. Here’s my wish: I wish that my grandpa and grandma can come out of heaven because I miss him and her.
Love,
Maddison Talbert

Dear Santa,
I want money for a house. I’ve always wished for a house. How can the reindeer fly? How old are you? Do you watch TV?
I cannot wait for Christmas. Can I have a bear like my mom’s? I wish my dad is not allergic to cats any more and we have money for one or two. Do the elves work so hard they sleep on the big night?
Love,
Natasha Houston
Dear Santa,
I am going to be in Utah for Christmas. Can you drop by my house and put presents under our tree? How do you get into a house if it does not have a chimney? I really want a pack of pencils and money. I look forward to the holiday.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth M.

Dear Santa,
I want war books because reading is good. I want a Digi-Draw because I like drawing. I want a Nimrod CD, Sum 41 CD, because I like music. Santa, did you see the Billboard Awards last night? Green Day was on it.
They got seven Grammys and were first place on the Billboard. They sang Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The reason I wrote about Green Day is because they are my favorite band. Well, Merry Christmas, Santa.
Sincerely,
Ben
