Dear Santa,
My name is Lincoln and I'm 8 years old. How are you doing? Is it fun flying with your reindeer? How does it feel to be the one and only Santa Claus? I bet it's sad when everyone gets presents but you don't get any presents. But I bet you just make presents to play with by yourself at home. What movie do you watch after you go around the world? I watch Home Alone. I was good this year, and my brother was good too. We helped doing chores, we did stuff when our parents told us, and we've been nice to each other. Can I have a V.R. set, and a new phone? And my brother might want some rocks and gems. My dad owns an Indian motorcycle, and my mom might want jewels. My perfect Christmas would be to have a fun time with my family. To help others have a good Christmas I can be nice. You are awesome. The world needs you and I still don't know how you make this many toys. Have a good Christmas.
Sincerely, Lincoln
Dear Santa,
Hi Santa, my name is Josh. How are you doing? How are the reindeer doing? Are you getting ready for the big night? Have you ever missed a house and had to turn around? How do your elves get so much done in a matter of minutes? And how do you get every house right? Oh, by the way, what movie do you watch after going around the world? The Grinch? I would watch Home Alone. So...I have done some really nice things for my parents, like do the dishes, cleaning the living room, helping my dad with stuff and doing my chores. Oh, by the way, have I been good this year? Ok, yeah, maybe I've had a few bumps but I've been pretty good, right? Ok, so on to my wish for Christmas. I would like a basketball hoop that you can hang up on a door and keeps score, and has a basketball. Also, you can turn it on and off, because I love playing basketball. So, my perfect Christmas would be having my uncle come over and going sledding, and sitting in my living room with hot coco and a fireplace on my tv. Ok, so what would I give my parents for Christmas? Mom, ok I'll admit she doesn't want much, but I would give her a picture of her old horse. Dad, he doesn't want much either but I want to give him a super expensive Lakers sweater, I hope he will like it. So, I think to help my mom have a perfect Christmas would just be sitting on a couch with some hot coco. Ok Santa one more thing... Merry Christmas!
Sincerely, Joshua
Dear Santa,
My name is Lyrik. I have been good this year. I help mom clean. I help mom put the Christmas tree and stockings up. I do my chores. I help the little kids read and help Molly with her homework. The best part of Christmas is that you get to play in the snow. That's what I like to do when it snows. And you can go sledding. I like to play on my trampoline when it snows. That is what is fun to do when it snows. That would make it a perfect Christmas.
And this is fun too, you can put a Christmas tree up when it gets closer to Christmas and decorate your tree. You can also put stockings up and then put candy inside, like candy canes. And you get little stuffies inside your stocking. You can get different things like more pieces of candy. I would like diamond art for Christmas. Santa, could you bring the other kids something nice? To help other people have a good Christmas I could give donations. Have a good Christmas Santa.
Sincerely, Lyrik
Dear Santa,
Hi, my name is Ashlynn. I am 8 years old. How are you? Santa, how are your reindeer? And how is Rudolph the red nosed reindeer? Did you know that I put tricycles away at school? I helped decorate the Christmas tree, and I do my dishes and watch my brother and sister. May I please have 3 coloring books? Can you get dress up high heels for my sister please? Can you get my brother Pokemon cards? My favorite thing I like to do is go sledding with my family. That is my perfect Christmas. We go to my cousin's house and we go sledding. To help other people have a good Christmas I could get them presents, and I can help make breakfast too. What will you do this Christmas?
Sincerely, Ashlynn
Dear Santa Claus
Hi, my name is Charles Mead. Do you feed your reindeer magic carrots then they fly? This year I have been good, but me and my sister sometimes argue. One nice thing I did this year was finding books for friends at school in the library. I help my mom do dishes and help my dad work at the shop. This year please give me an RC car that's really fast and some gorilla glue please. And some tires that go on water, like really hard plastic for the RC car. Please give my sister a LOL Surprise, they are little dolls my sister likes. Can you please give my kitties a brand-new cat house? A perfect Christmas would be eating cookies the whole day with lots of milk. Please give the whole world skittles in their stockings. To help people have a good Christmas I could make them pizza. If people are bad for Christmas, how can you hold a big bag of coal and so many toys? Make sure not to get a frostbite.
Sincerely, Charles Mead
Dear Santa,
How old are you? I'm 8 years old. Are you magical? I am a good boy. I help my family a lot. I help by putting the trash in the garbage can, and picking up after the dog. My perfect Christmas would be spending time with my family. I would like Pokemon cards, and candy for Christmas. Is it cold there? Do you eat food? Are you nice? If I could get a gift for someone it would be for my dog. I would get her a dog toy. Can you bring something nice for my brothers and sisters please? Merry Christmas Santa Claus.
From Nathan Hagfeldt.
Dear Santa
My name is Jacob. Do you like giving toys to kids? Is it fun to ride in your sleigh? What Christmas movie do you like? How are you doing? How are the reindeer? Do you help your elves? Have I been pretty good this year? I have cleaned the whole bathroom except the toilet, and I did the dishes and cleaned a little bit of the basement. I would like a new BMX Bike for Christmas. My perfect Christmas would be if it snows 3 whole feet and if I got the fastest sled in the world! Also, If I could get two 20-dollar bills and share it with my two brothers. They would each get a 20. How I can help other people have a good Christmas is if I give them a present for Christmas, and I maybe give them hot coco. I might give someone something cool. And also, which state do you start with in the USA? Which continent do you start with? How many times do you actually check your list? Have a merry Christmas!
Sincerely, Jacob. W
Dear Santa,
How are you? How is Rudolf? I have been good this year. I think you are amazing. One good thing I did was I helped put away the tricycles at school. I help my family look for Christmas lights, and help them put stuff up. I do my chores, like feeding the chickens and gathering eggs. For Christmas I would like a pool for my family. And a Christmas miracle for the world, like everybody gets presents. I am happy that Christmas is here.
I love the snow. My perfect Christmas would have snow. If I could give my sister a gift it would be a llama for Christmas. Please come to our Christmas concert. Please give everyone in the world a gift. And for me I would like a remote-controlled car please. Have a good Christmas.
Sincerely, Traecyn
Dear Santa,
How are you doing? Are you good? You are the best! Am I bad or good? What nice things have I done for family or friends? I help my brother and I help my mom do some chores. I take out the trash and put clothes in the laundry. I think my brother would like a new remote for his PS4. Santa, do you like cold cookies? Do you like hot cookies? Do you like cold food? Or hot food? And Santa, can I get some presents too? Santa, can you make it the perfect Christmas? I think a perfect Christmas is to be nice to people and help people. I can help people carry presents, or help people who are hurt. Merry Christmas Santa.
Sincerely, Noah
Dear Santa,
Hello Santa. How are you doing Santa? Santa, have you ever gotten burnt on a fireplace? Also, I have been very good this year. In fact, I got student of the month this year! I have done a lot to help this year. I did stuff like going with my mom to work and sweeping. I also raked pine needles for a fire we had. I feed the dogs sometimes too. So, this is what I would like for Christmas: first, I want a hoverboard and an oculus please. Also, I need my four-wheeler fixed too. This is what I would get for my mom and dad; I would get my mom and dad a nice painting for their room. I would get my sisters pineapples because they love them for some reason. I think I could help others with their Christmas by helping set up their decorations and maybe give them a gift or two. Santa, when you put those M&M tubes that are in the shape of candy Canes, please add color because I am getting bored of the clear ones. Merry Christmas Santa! Or happy holidays.
Sincerely, Kane Culley
Dear Santa
Hi, I'm Josiah Nichols. Have you ever burnt yourself in a fire? Do you eat KFC? I've been super good this year, I mean besides asking you if you burnt yourself on a fire. I did all my chores. I helped my dad work on stuff, and put in a new engine in our go-kart, and I've been super good this year. I would like: an RC snowmobile, a pocket rocket, a gas-powered RC car, and a watch for Christmas. My sister wants a flute for Christmas, and my dogs want dog bones, and my cat wants a xmax RC car so he can crawl inside it and make me drive it. He also wants bumble bee tuna. My dad probably wants nothing? Or does he want something? I don't know what he wants, just bring him something nice. My perfect Christmas would be getting 5 feet of snow. Merry Christmas Santa.
Sincerely, Josiah Nichols
Dear Santa
My name is Rhonda and I am nine years old. I weigh 60 pounds. How old are you and how much do you weigh Santa? How is your family today, and what are you doing today? I've been good in school this year and I help in school a ton. I would like to have a ton of presents for my family. A perfect Christmas would be to spend time with my family and play in the snow. I know someone who needs presents for Christmas, so I can help him have a good Christmas by getting him presents. My family gets presents for other people to help them have a good Christmas. Merry Christmas Santa.

How christmas started
A long time ago.....
There was a village far from humans. The village is called ELF TOPEYA. It was a village to get away from the humans. Humans hate elves; they would bake them and use their heads to scare crows. It was really rude. So the elfs ran away to start their own life and even built their own village which you guys know is ELFTOPEYA. But back to the story elfs love to make sweets. It is what they do. They will also make toys and really cool stuff.
But one day the elfs found a little boy named christmas he was a human. But the elfs loved him dearly. When christmas was 17 he was too tall for the elfs to take care of him so they built him his own house to live and take care of himself.
But one day christmas found a book in the great old elf tree he found that he was a human but that the elfs told him he was a elf but just built different so he told every elf in ELFTOPEYA that he was a human but all the elfs laughed and all said "we know dear christmas"

Mom said, " We will not go to Shreks Christmas party because your dad won't get off of work in time. When they got home Jimmy-Bob ran inside and packed his bags. He went to bed so that he could wake up in five hours. He woke up then and he snuck out to go to Shreks Christmas party.
Something bad happened! Jimmy-Bob's dad pulled up and caught him out late. Then, he got grounded for a week but before he went to his room he saw a flying boat! It landed in his backyard and Shrek jumped off the boat to get the boy then Shrek and the boy jumped back on the boat and took off.
Then something weird happened. The boat had disappeared! The mom and the dad screamed. Then they fell off the porch into the trash can and landed on cats. They got out of the trash can and into the car and they went around the town looking for a flying boat.
They were so sad. They called the cops and he said, "Hurry help, Shrek and his gang took my son and left in a flying boat! The cop said, "Shut up you disabled cow!" They then hung up and went home so sadly.
Then they got a call from Shrek and they missed it. They called back later and he answered. Shrek said, "You are invited to my Christmas party. The only reason I took your son, Jimmy-Bob, was because he had called me and said that he was a huge fan, and that he also said you guys were ok with it."
They said,"Ok we're coming.". They jumped into the car and they speeded off. When they got there their son was there and super happy. It ended happily ever after.

I had walked downstairs on Christmas Eve. I was so excited! We had this cool tradition where we would invite everyone to a Christmas dinner. I smelt honey glazed ham. I got downstairs and noticed that my mom wasn't in the kitchen, then I looked everywhere. I still couldn't find her! I started to worry and then I heard a shrill scream coming from the treehouse.
I ran outside leaving the door open. I got distracted by the snow. The snow was white, then pink, then red. As I saw the snow fade into red, I saw my mother, but she was not standing. Blood was everywhere. I immediately called 911, then I called my sister, Lina.
I heard the sirens. The, "WEE WOO", was not a pleasant sound. They lifted her on the stretcher, then I felt someone picking me up and next thing I know, I was in a cop car.
As we had reached the hospital, I met up with my sister, Lina. "What happened Eli?!", my sister asked. I ignored her and started to sob.
We reached my Aunts house around three hours later, and then she broke the news to us, our mom was in a coma...
That was last year. Today was Christmas Eve, my mom's coma anniversary. I had walked downstairs then my Aunt had spoken.
"Eli, your mom will be taken off life support today. I'm sorry." Then she started to cry.
I ran upstairs to my room. An hour later, my aunt came up and asked, "Do you want to see your mom?", and ofcourse I said yes.
I went downstairs and my shoes weren't there, so I went to the living room to ask my Aunt and their my mother was.
My mom said, "Merry Christmas my Eli!"
The end!

The missing Santa
It was the 24th of December and everything was great. We were all in the living room watching the Night Before Christmas. Me, Jimmy ( my little brother), Sam ( my oldest brother), and Kate ( my twin sister).
Mom and dad were Christmas shopping. Mom told me to watch the cookies that were baking for Santa. I had the idea to make sugar cookies. While I was watching the movie Sam asked, " Hey Danny,want to go to the store?" Mom had told us to stay home. " Sam's mom told us not to leave the house, so no." You could just tell that Sam was disappointed. It was hard to say no,but I knew that it was the right thing to do.
Kate said, " I'm going to bed."Right after she said that there was a loud knock at the door.We all got frightened and ran straight to our room. " I'll go and check." Sam told us. As he walked away we all got worried. We heard him say," Who's there?" " Santa?mom?dad? anyone?" No one answered. Then all of the sudden they say, " SANTA" " Guys it's Santa come he fast." Sam said. As we all run to the door Sam opens it. " SANTA!" Santa asked, " Where are your guys's parents?" " They went Christmas shopping." I said. " Well well well what are your guys names?" I said, ``I'm Danny, this is Sam,this is Kate and this is Jimmy." " Nice." We were so excited to see Santa.
Mom and dad right then busted into the house. I knew they would be happy. Nothing could go wrong. But right as we were about to say something I turned around and Santa was gone. Where did he go? Thankfully when we woke up the next morning Santa had eaten the cookie.

Christmas for my family
During the month of December my house gets very festive.
When the month of December is here my family will start to put up Christmas decorations.
After we get all the decorations put up we will start to go Christmas shopping. When we go Christmas shopping we normally spend three to four hours shopping. We get gifts for the neighbors and our family.
Once we have finished shopping we go to start wrapping the presents. Then after we wrapped all the presents if it is one for the neighbors we will go give it to them. After we do that we put our presents under the tree.
When we have Christmas we have a big family gathering. We have family from everywhere. We have in-laws and relatives everyone. Once Christmas is upon us we will be wearing Christmas clothes like Pj's and sweaters. Then we'll start passing out the presents. After we pass out all of the presents we'll start with one person and go one by one. Then everyone will start opening their presents. While someone's opening their presents someone will be recording their reaction. After everyone has opened their presents we will start picking up all of the trash. Once all of the trash has been picked up and taken out. We will exchange hugs. After we exchange hugs, sadly everyone has to leave.

Rudolph Saves Christmas
YAY! It was Christmas Eve and everyone was happy. Until they went outside and saw the sleigh was broken and Dasher was hurt. They looked around and saw Blitzen and Vixen sitting in the middle of it. If that wasn't bad enough Santa came outside and was furious. He yelled, ¨ WHAT HAPPENED? NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!¨
Right away Rudolph got to work helping Dasher, while everyone else was rebuilding the sleigh. It looks like Dasher has a broken leg. Rudolph went into Santa's workshop and found magic healing dust. He brought it to Dasher and sprinkled it on his leg, it would take a few minutes to work.
OH NO! They were already 20 minutes late. When they finally finished the sleigh they were VERY late. ¨Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph are you ready?¨ Shouted Santa. Everything was fine until they approached their last house. Some of the kids were already awake! Santa had to be extra careful. When he got back he had cookies and apples. That was the last house, they were on their way home. When they were on their way home dawn was approaching. Almost everyone's dogs started barking at Santa and his reindeer.
When they finally got home Santa was still in a bad mood. Blitzer and Vixen had to clean up the remaining mess. They also weren't going to get any hot chocolate. That made the other reindeer feel bad for Blitzer and Vixen so they all shared with them. Then Mrs. Clause gave them all treats and it turned into a very merry Christmas.

My Perfect Christmas
By: Graci Turner
My Perfect Christmas was in 2019. 2019 was the best year ever. My Perfect Christmas all began when we went down to my Grandma Val's & Papa Rick's because my sister was supposed to be born. We went really early. Then, we couldn't go back to sleep, so we went out at 5 in the morning to open presents from Santa. We had a little breakfast because later we had to go to my Grandma Janet and Papa Don's house for Christmas. So we got ready to go, soon we were at Grandma Janets. We ate brunch with our family. After brunch, we opened our presents. We played with our cousins. Their names are Jaycee, Kellen, Delaynee, Judson, Harlee, Ellie, Nyla, Jones. Those were all the cousins that were there, but we have more. We played cows and horses. We talked, and asked if we picked out our steers. There was this creepy doll downstairs, My cousin Jaycee swears she didn't put a note by it, she didn't. The doll is haunted. We spent a lot of time with family. We played a charades game, We redrew Cow Camp and And got some more ideas on how to rebuild the cabin. We ate desserts and food. We had sparkling cider. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. This is my Perfect Christmas.

It was Christmas eve and I wasn't at home sitting in front of the fire opening presents and having a good time, I was at the hospital getting an MRI to see if I had cancer. After the MRI had finished I was told, ¨you may get up and go to your mom¨. I exited the room, I saw my mom right there waiting for me like she said she would. I ran towards her saying, ¨That thing scare me momma¨. She replied ¨I bet it was pumpkin¨. We both went back to the hospital bed and waited after about 30 min i fell asleep. After about what felt like hours I was woken up by a faint sniffling and crying then I heard the doctor say ¨ I'm sorry mam¨. When i woke up i said to momma ¨i had a crazy dream you were crying but you don't do that your tough just like me!¨ Now exactly 15 years later i can still see that scene very vividly. Usually, on my birthday 12/25/16 I usually stay home and work on it, what's it you may ask well the cure for cancer that's what. Now since it's my 21st birthday I might as well go out and take some shots but not until I finish it so I go back to my campus lab and stare at the Harvard sign. Wow, look how far I've come. Then went inside the lab and started working. Finally after about 700 hours of thinking and 400 more testing I finally did it the cure for cancer. So before all the interviews and things come in I go to my mom's grave and say I did it momma I beat cancer. 16 years later my kid has cancer but I know she will survive

Why no one can catch santa.
Santa comes every year and puts presents under your tree. Do you ever wonder why you can't catch santa?
Well once there was a little girl and she was curious so she stayed up one christmas eve. She wanted to be the first one to ever catch santa. She set up traps for santa.she new santa was very careful so she set up s lot. She thought that Santa wasn't going to get out of that one.
She eventually fell asleep but was soon awakened by bells and hooves on the roof. She faked being asleep so sant would think she was sleeping. Then one of the worst things happened, she had to sneeze. She tried to hold it in but she couldn't hold it any longer. "Aaachooo" she sneezed really loud.
Santa was climbing down the chimney. She was lying in front of her tree. He saw her and heard her sneeze. He was trying to climb up the chimney. He singled his elves to pull home up. When he got out of the chimney he got in his sleigh and flew off.
When he made his way back around to her house he used his detector to see if anyone was awake. Just to be safe. He sent his elves to deliver the presents. They didn't set off any traps. They grabbed all the cookies and carrots too.
She woke up the next day and saw that none of her traps went off. She heard her parents get ready up stairs and cleaned up really quick. She got done cleaning in the nick of time. They opened presents and she was really happy with what she got.she realised in that moment she couldn't catch santa because he is magical.

Christmas
We arrived at the toy store to shop, my mom didn't like to go to the toy store because mom would bring back more than my mom would have wanted to but it was an occasion, christmas was almost here. I wanted to get almost everything, mom convinced me to only get a doll and some books for myself, and got my little brother a toy tractor.
I helped make dinner, then dad drove up the driveway. I looked through the window and dad had a Christmas tree on the top of his truck. He was unloading the tree while my little brother ran out to greet him. We were going to go decorate the tree after dinner. I was putting on decorations. Once we were done it looked so festive I could almost feel the Christmas spirit.
A Few Days Later, I was fixing our countdown clock, when I realized it was Christmas eve!! I wanted to get a good night's sleep for all the excitement tomorrow. I went to bed and fell to sleep right away. I woke up and my alarm was blaring at me. I sleep in, it was 9:00!! I ate my cold pancakes and eggs. I started reading my books and playing with my dolls. After dinner, I had to do dishes and then we could open presents. I was looking at the presents and found only like 3 or 4. I was kind of disappointed but mom called me to the kitchen. She handed me a kitten with a red bow and said Merry Christmas. I was delighted this was the best Christmas ever!!
