Dear Santa, We are 4 and 2 years old now and love Christmas. When asked the famous question, What do you want for Christmas this year?, our answer is simpleEVERYTHING. As we look around at the world around us, we have a new idea of what EVERY thing is We want EVERY child to have a present Christmas morning, so we have been busy collecting the toys we dont play with anymore to donate. We want EVERY little girl to have warm clothes, so we gave away our snow boots and snowsuit that were too small. We want EVERY person to have food, so we donated food to our preschool to feed the hungry. We want EVERY pet to have a chewy, so we donated to an animal shelter. We want EVERY person to feel loved, so we will continue to smile, wave and say Merry Christmas to everyone we meet. Santa, we understand that we have EVERYTHING we need! Any special gift under our tree will be appreciated. Love, Kirsten and Karlee ***********

You rids on your sleigh and give all the good boys and girls presents on their Christmas lists. I remember 5 years ago I only had playdough and a dog on my list and you gave me more that that. You gave me 50 presents plus my cute dog Sammy. That was the best present you ever gave me. Could I please have 20 Lego Star Wars sets, Pokemon Absd and Absol EX, and all the Lego Star Commanders. If I could get a picture with you on Christmas night, I would be very happy. I would also like Mario3D World for wiiU and wiiU, a Samsung Galaxy 4, Battronborgs, and a purple and black scooter. And that new robot puppy and our house down Seaside to be okay by January. Thank you so much Santa. Gavin, 8 ************ Hi Santa, this is Shawn.
