Editor's Note: In the lead up to Christmas we annually run Letters To Santa from area students in print and this year we've decided to present them online also. Enjoy!
Busby School Grade 3
Dear Santa,
I tried to be good this year. How do you deliver all those presents in one night? Do you drink coffee? If not, how do you stay up all night? Do you get a lot of tummy aches from eating all the cookies? This year, all I want is a snow board and snow gear. I want everybody in my house to be together. And lastly, I’d like a drone. I know that it’s asking for a lot, but this is why I think I deserve all these things. First, Darlena said I have good grades. Then I tried my best to keep my room clean. I pay attention in class and I’m pretty good at my chores. Thank you! Have a safe trip!
From Jeannie
Dear Santa,
I have been really good this year. I have been making my bed and cleaning up after my brother. What is the weather like there? I have been helping my Mom and Dad. What I want for Christmas is a JoJo Siwa blanket, A big makeup kit, An LOL doll, and a slime kit. I should get some gifts because I am cleaning up after my brother. I am also helping my Mom and Dad. I am also helping my brother. Next year I will clean up even more and I will start making my bed. When you come I will leave you cookies and milk. I hope you have a safe trip!

I also am trying to get good grades. I have been working hard at school. I want my brother Ethan to play with me more. I will behave next year. I will give the reindeer carrots and you get milk and cookies.

Dear Santa,
Hello Santa! How’s your time at the North Pole? Probably good. How are the elves doing making toys? I’ve been good to my family and my pets. For Christmas I would like a toy candy cane and some toy cars and a track. I should get some gifts because I’ve been helpful. I help my brother. I play with my pets when they are bored. I hope you like the cookies and I left your reindeer some carrots. I wish you well! Have a good time at the North Pole.
Sincerely Austin

Dear Santa,
Hello, I’m Damien, how is the North Pole? How many reindeer do you have? How many homes do you travel to? I behaved at school. What I want for Christmas is LEGO and I want a toy called Hello Neighbour. I help Mom clean the house and I go to bed at my bedtime. I’ve also been good at school. For these reasons, I feel like I deserve these gifts. I will be good next year too. I will put cookies and milk in my living room for you. Make sure you don’t catch the flu! See ya next Christmas!
Sincerely Damien
Dear Santa,
I have some bad news. My Elf on the Shelf is dead. My mom touched my Elf on the Shelf, will he get his magic back? Santa, how do you fly around the world in 1 night? I have been behaving for my Mom. I want Five Nights at Freddy’s action figures for Christmas. I also want Five Nights at Freddy’s LEGO sets. I also want Five Nights at Freddy’s plushies. I have been helping my Mom clean the house. I have been folding my clothes, and being nice to my Mother. For these reasons, I should get these presents. I am going to help my Mom with chores next year too. I only have carrots for your reindeer. Goodbye Santa, don’t catch Covid-19!
Sincerely Dylan
Dear Santa,
Hello. How are you? How many elves do you have? How old are you?
I behaved really well this year. For Christmas I would like a Tie dye kit, a reindeer stuffed animal, a fluffy ball of orange yarn, and a crystal kit. I would also like a skateboard helmet, wrist guards and knee pads. I think I should get my gifts because I do all my chores and do my homework when I am asked to. Secondly, I have been very nice to my sisters and friends. Last of all, I listen to my teacher when she is talking and play fair in gym class. For these reasons, I deserve the gifts because I help my mom when Dad is working and help my younger sister if she is having trouble. I promise I will be very good next year. I hope you like the sugar cookies, milk and carrots I left you. Merry Christmas!
Sincerely Emily
Dear Santa,
Hello Santa! I hope at the North Pole you don’t get stuck or forget to make the presents. Does Mrs. Claus bake you a lot of cookies? I have been nice to my Brother. I want a phone, Santa. I have been nice. I have been cleaning my cat box. I help my brother. I have been good. Next year I will help out more. I hope you like the cookies and milk! Farewell!

Dear Santa,
Christmas is my most favorite holiday of the year! Do you like the North Pole?
I do the dishes sometimes. And I clean my room. And I make my bed. For Christmas I would like a Lego set and a horse! Also a mini gumball machine and a tie died hoodie! I love candy. I’d like a vet kit! And a karaoke machine and silver jeans and fairy lights! I forget the rest I help my mom when she needs me to! And I help my dad with his stuff when he needs me to! And I’m really sweet with our pets!! For these reasons I deserve presents! I’m doing really good with my spelling tests. Next year I will be a good helper. And I will take good care of our pets!
On Christmas eve we will leave you milk and cookies and carrots for your reindeer. Goodbye and I will see you next year!!!

How have you been at The North pole? I behaved good and a little bad, but mostly good. For Christmas I want to get my mom a nice new phone. For me, I want a new real life baby, new pj`s and new clothes. On Christmas Eve I want to get a new puppy, because I have been good.I have been sharing with my sisters. Me and my sisters play together. Me and my sisters and friends play together. I will try to be good next year. We will leave your cookies out on the fireplace. Have a good Christmas and wish the elves a Merry Christmas!
Sincerely Hannah
Dear Santa,
How is it in the North Pole? Do you like it there? I hope you don’t get in a blizzard when you’re delivering presents. Do you like cake? Do you know the tooth fairy? I have been really nice to my brothers and sister this year. I’ve been cleaning up my messes in the living room. I really like LEGO dinosaurs, but I haven’t had one before. I would really like a PS5. I really want my brothers and sister to have a good Christmas. I have got good grades when we’ve been doing word work. I’ve been working hard at finding a Christmas tree. I’ve been taking care of my dog.
For these reasons, I think I should get the presents I want. I will behave nicely next year.
Have a good Christmas! Be good!
From Hunter
Dear Santa,
Do you like the North pole? Christmas is my favourite season. Is it hard to get to everyone’s house in the world? I have not been that good this year. I turned off the lights on my sister and made her scream! I would like a remote control animal, LEGO, Super Mario, a slingshot, and a Nintendo Switch. I should get these gifts because I did what I was told. I clean my room like I was told and I am nice. For these reasons, I deserve presents. I’m doing very good on my spelling tests. Next year, I will be very good. I hope you like the milk and cookies. I hope you have a good Christmas.
Sincerely Kolton

Sincerely Lucas
Dear Santa,
Hello Santa! I saw your Elf today. How is the North Pole today Santa? I take care of my brother and sister when mom is gone. I would like a Nintendo, a truck and a snake toy. My Mom says I am good and I don’t play on the table. I try not to break things. I help my Dad working in the garage. For these reasons, I feel I should get these toys. When I have homework I will work on it. I hope you like my cookies Santa. I hope you have a good day Santa.
Sincerely Lucian
Dear Santa,
Hello! how are you? How is the North Pole? How are the elves? I have been very good this year. I have tried my hardest not to get into mischief.
I would love it if I could get Guitar Hero, make-up and I would love it if my mom could get a new sewing machine. I have done really good in school. I have also been really nice to everyone I meet. I have also tried to be nice to my brother.
For these reasons I think I should get the gifts I want. I will try to behave the same next year. I hope you like the cookies and milk I left you. I hope you fly safe when you deliver the presents!
