Every December, billions of Christmas wish letters make way to that jolly man up north. This year, the Whidbey News-Times borrowed a few of those letters to share. Don’t worry, though, Santa got them back as soon as we were done with them.
CRESCENT HARBOR ELEMENTARY
Dear Santa,
My name is Leland Deutcher. I go to Crescent Harbor Elementary, in Washington. Some things I like to do are playing Lego’s, hunting, games and roses, too. Could you please get Lego’s for me?
And could you get the poor people that have no food food for those people? Because I really don’t like it when people starve to death. I have a few questions to ask. How do your reindeers fly?
Your friend,
Leland Deutcher
Dear Santa,
I would like my dad for Christmas. Why, you ask? Because my dad is on deployment. My mom and brother would like that too. I have done some bad things, but I have learned from it. I hope you can do it.

Dear Santa,
I hope that you are having a very happy, jolly time at your work shop. I loved seeing you at the mall. I also loved the candy canes. If possible, these are the things I would like for Christmas: an iPhone 7 Samsung phone with a light green cover and teal converse. I would like to get my friend Kendall a pet cat and my other friend Pheonix a big truckload of beef because they have been nice and a good friend to me. Thanks!
Love,

BROAD VIEW ELEMENTARY
Dear Santa,
Hi Santa. I hope you know I have been good. And I do not want to trouble you too much. Well, I would like an easy bake. But if you can’t get it, OK. Because that’s not what I want to know. I always wonder if you like the Seattle Seahawks? It’s OK if you don’t, though. Also, how old are you? I love Christmas. I like to decorate the tree. Me and my aunt do the decorating. I got a lot of my friends and family presents. If you did not live so far, I would get you one too, but of all the places you could live, you decided to live in the North Pole. My favorite part is when we are all together.
Sincerely,
Brianna Edmon
Dear Santa,
Am I on the naughty list? Yes or no. I love Christmas! I hope the Christmas Spirit will spread. I would like a Furby for Christmas. Sorry if our house is a mess, but I still love my family. At least I have a home.

Dear Santa or Kris Kringle,
I would like to say, you must have to wash your pants, shirts and hats after each Christmas because you go down the chimney; you must get really dirty.
Happy holidays. Good bye.

Merry Christmas
Dear Santa,
Thank you for coming to our world so that everyone can have toys. I love baking cookies for you because it is fun. I wish that Christmas was every day and we got different toys every day, and everyone was homeschooled.
Thank you for coming to our world so that everyone can have toys.
I love when we go shopping for other people in our family. We love going to see you; it is fun when we get candy canes from you. We like them. They’re really minty. I bet that you are working very hard on those toys of yours. I am very happy that every year we get presents. Thank you for coming.

Dear Santa,
What I want for Christmas is to be with my family and friends. I want that cause I know Christmas is not about new toys, opening presents, it’s about being together! I also want to see you! And I hope you come to our house and eat cookies and milk. We may not have any, but I hope you come! The pink tree is mine, put my presents there! The tree may be in my room or on the bar in the kitchen.
I love Christmas!
