Our Yesterdays

Dear Santa,

I was a good girl this year and so was my sister, Amber. I want a 10 speed bike, some clothes, and Amber wants some clothes and she wants a doll too. How are the reindeer?

Your pal, Amy Dickey

Dear Santa,

I hope your reindeer are OK. I want to get a bunch of stompers for Christmas. And some more Atari sets so that I can beat my sister more. How is Mrs. Claus? I would like some more tools too. One more thing, I would like a tape recorder.

Your buddy, Michael Noel.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas I would like an Atari and a racetrack, a truck, and a play car, and I would like Pac-Man to go with the Atari.

Your friend, Chad Gillam

Dear Santa,

How are you and your elves? Have your elves made many toys? I would like an Atari and a lot of games. I would also like a horse, computer, motorcycle, movie disc player and an RCA color TV.

Your friend, John Capps

Dear Santa,

I would like a Care Bear. You know the rest. Is Mrs. Santa baking cookies? Would you like three apples for your reindeer?

Your friend, Regan Ingle

Dear Santa,

For Christmas, I want a pair of ice skates and roller skates and a fly trap. Well, I have to go now.

Your friend, Tara Archer

Dear Santa,

I’ve been good. I want a John Deere tractor, a big one! Also a John Deere plow, a big one! I want a Grumpy Bear.

From, Grant Gillam

Dear Santa,

Santa, I want everything! I want a sled, a Santa Game, a puzzle, an Angel Face Barbie doll, a Pink ‘n Pretty, my own little Christmas tree!

Merry Christmas, Nikki Hackert

Dear Santa Claus,

Thank you for all the years past toys. I want Barbie doll that curls her hair. I really don’t care what you give me. My brother, Eric, wants a dump truck and a choo-choo train.

Love, Jody Greiner

Dear Santa,

I want a stuffed horse, and Iowa Hawkeye sweatsuit and a pink Care Bear. I like candy canes, I love peppermint. I want a small chalkboard and a Care Bear comfort set. One more thing — a new coat.

Merry Christmas, Jill Winn

Christmas Day, by Adrian Dickey

When Santa jumps in his sleigh,

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer,

Will lead the way.

With Rudolph’s red nose,

Presents

Won’t be late that Christmas Day.

My Christmas, by Tammi Ellis

My Christmas is fun. On Christmas Eve we stay up late and watch a movie. Then Christmas morning we get up and eat breakfast. For breakfast we usually have hot rolls and coffee. But my sister, my cousin, and I don’t eat breakfast. When we get up, we open one small present. Then we have to wait for the others to get done eating so they can open their presents. Then, when they’re all done eating we open out presents.
