Dear Santa,
I hope you had a great summer. I know you are getting ready for Christmas. My elf is reading to my brother’s toy Batman. My elf moves when I am at school. I want a baby bunny and a puppy. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Claus.
Love,

Dear Santa,
Did you have a great holiday? You are very nice to every kid on the planet. Hope you have lots of milk and cookies. All I want is a new pair of slippers, and for Allen, a stuffed animal. I love Christmas, like you and Mrs. Claus! Say hello to Rudolph. I like your red sleigh.
Love,

Dear Santa,
Hi Santa. It’s Max. Can you please tell Dusy to bring my letter to you? It’s very important. Is Rudolph real? May I have a lego set please, free-build? Do the reindeer talk? Merry Christmas to you, Mrs. Claus and the elves, and reindeer. Have a safe trip.
Love,

Dear Santa,
How are you doing Santa? Are you happy or sad? I hope the elves are nice. How many elves are there? How do the reindeer fly? I wish I could be a reindeer and fly. Am I on the Nice List? Will you get me Madden 19 and NCAA 14? O.K., you’re happy.
Love,

Dear Santa,
I hope you had a good, restful summer Santa and Mrs. Claus. I hope your elves are having fun making toys. People say you are not real! I think you are real. I want my family to be happy. Merry Christmas Santa, to you and Mrs. Claus.

I have been good this year. How are you and Mrs. Claus? What I want for Christmas is… Horse toys and horse books. I like Christmas, like you and Mrs. Claus.

Dear Santa,
People say that Rudolph is fake! I believe in Rudolph, but I want to know if Rudolph is really real. This might sound crazy, but I really miss Audrey now. What I want for Christmas is a pair of roller skates. Thank you for Tigger, I do not know what I would do without him.
Love,
Quincy
(Note, “Look on the other side”)
P.S. How many elves do you have? How do you deliver all of the presents in one night? How many kids are in the world, including me? How is Mrs. Claus doing? What does she look like? Am I on the Nice List? Since my mom is a nice mom, can you get her a nice pair of hoop earrings, and my dad a pair of pants? I think he will like that.
Love,
Quincy (again)

Dear Santa,
I will leave carrots, and cookies and milk for you. I liked the present you gave me last year. This year, I would like an eight-year-old dirt bike. Have a merry Christmas, Santa!

Dear Santa,
Are you getting ready for Christmas? I hope you had a good holiday. I know Chipre is your elf. I wish I left the chips for Chipre. I just love Christmas time. Merry Christmas, Santa. I wish I could see Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. I will leave carrots for the reindeer, and cookies for you!
Love,

Dear Santa,
Are you well? I am. Do you ever wish that people sent you presents? May I please have a Barbie doll? I have been very nice this year. Hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Dear Santa,
Are you getting ready for Christmas? I am all done. Can I have a vacuum? The vacuum is $200! Can I have a new pair of scissors?
