So that is most of my favorites on my list so I hope you have a merry Christmas!

Dear Santa,
How are you this Christmas? How are the elves coming up with these funny ideas at my house? They came and they were in the fridge and they turned our milk into elf milk and they said that it helps them keep their magic. The next day they were on the top of the toilet and one of our elves was holding a sharpie marker and our other elf was sitting by a toilet paper roll and they wrote your poop smells ha ha ha. I have been good this year and I don’t care what I get. Don’t tell the reindeer that I’m leaving them a surprise.
Love,
Lakota
Dear Santa,

How is Speedy the elf doing?

Gracie
Dear Santa,
I love Christmas because it is fun. How are your elves? Are they good or are they bad? I would like a hoverboard for Christmas. And a skateboard.
From your good kid,

Dear Santa,
How are the elves in the reindeer and how are you? Am I on the good list or the bad list? Will you get me a pet reindeer? And will you give me an elephant? Can I have a new stuffed animal?
From,

Dear Santa,
How are you? I’m good. One of my favorite holidays is Christmas. How are your elves? My favorite part of Christmas is when everybody comes together and when we make cookies together and it’s my grandpa‘s recipe. For Christmas, I want a giant squishy! I also want a gymnastics mat.
Love,
Ella
Dear Santa,
I have been good this year. Why is my elf Chimney NOT coming to my house? Am I on the GOOD list or the BAD list? For Christmas I would like to have a 3D printer because I want to 3D print a lot of stuff. I would also like a safe that is ANYTHING proof. Finally, I would like a camera that goes on my motorcycle helmet. Safe travels.
Love,
Vincent
Dear Santa,
I like celebrating Christmas with my family. How how are the elves and reindeer? How are you today? Can I have a reindeer? I also want a lot of Legos. I want Harry Potter Legos. I hope you have a great Christmas. I hope you’re having a good time. Get ready for Christmas, Merry Christmas!
From,

For my Christmas holiday traditions I go to shop for trees with my mom and sometimes make cookies and big plans for Christmas.
I love Christmas!
Hank
I love Christmas. It is so fun. I get to hang out with my family and get a whole break off of school! It is also fun because we get to travel to our grandparents to hang out.
Aiden
I like Christmas. I like the Christmas songs and I like seeing everyone on Christmas. Also I like the Christmas lights.
Quinten
My Christmas tradition is that we open our gifts at the same time no matter how big if they’re the same ones and we all have matching pajamas from the elf and we get books from the elf every year. We get gingerbread houses from the elf and the elf makes a mess! And that’s what we do on Christmas. We go to our grandma‘s houses and we open our gifts. That is what we do for Christmas!
Tinley
Christmas is my favorite holiday. When it is Christmas my family goes to my grandparents house and open presents because it is Christmas. My grandpa is 71 years old. After we go to my grandparents house my family goes to my Nana’s house and have Christmas there . And we eat lunch with them then we go home to have Christmas at our house and spend time together with just my parents and my siblings. When my family is spending time together we open presents, have hot cocoa, relax, and watch movies, spend time together and have a great time. That is Christmas day at my nana’s house, my grandpas house and my own.
