Dear Santa, All I Want For Christmas

When I hear the words Dear Santa, many things come to mind. Little kids clutching their pencils as they write their letters, old movies where some little kid prays for something for someone else, and my own memories of pouring over the catalogues as I wrote my own letter to Santa.

What would you like to ask Santa for this year? Anything special? If you could say anything to Santa ~ what would you say? You can write your Christmas wishlist here, take the polls to see if you have been naughty or nice, and who you want to include in your letter. Have fun as you think of what to write after the Dear Santa part and get some gift ideas too, like maybe some very useful and needed items for the homeless. Santa needs our help to remember everyone's wishes.

Santa List

letter to Santa ready to fill in with your wishlist

Ahh our Santa list. Today's kids don't remember the joy of thumbing through the Sears Catalogue to find that perfect gift like their grandparents did. Our Christmas wishlist changed all the time, every time we found new toys, or new things that were more exciting than the ones we'd already picked.

As kids, we wanted toys, never socks or shoes, or new clothes. Well, most kids only wanted toys. Adults still want toys, but different kinds, but they also ask for things for others, or they give more than they receive.

9 Year Old's Letter to Santa

cute Santa letter and talks about her Elf On The Shelf

Frankie is the name of this Elf on The Shelf and mentioned in her Dear Santa LetterDear Santa,

Frankie (my elf) has been so many places I couldn't find him. Santa what are the reindeers names? And are you friends with the tooth fairy, because if you are tell him or her I lost my tooth last Saturday. How many elfs do you have in your factory? And do you have firefighter elfs? How many houses do you go to? Do you ever forget to go to one house at all? Do you keep all the lists that you make every year if you do check if my brother Issac's on the naughty list.

Thank you for all the gifts you gave me for 8 years.
Love, Soleil

What would YOU like for Christmas this year?

Tell Santa what you'd like this year. Have you been naughty or nice? You can use this to practice for your real letter to Santa.

If you want him to bring something to someone else...go ahead and tell him. Unfortunately Santa has never been able to bring "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men"....but hey, it never hurts to ask :)

Dear Santa, What I want this year is a job. Being unemployed was nice for awhile, but now I really need a regular paycheck. Do you think your elves could whip up a cool new job for me? I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Santa!

We love them, We Miss Them

Our troops remain far away from their families again this year. Some never receive letters or packages from home. Please help those of us back home remember them with gifts and cards and letters.
