Dear Santa,

Thank you for the presents in my stocking and under the CHRISTMAS tree last year. My favorite one was the puppy dog that rolls over. I hope you and your reindeer liked the cookies and carrots I left for you. My friends at school say you are just a puppet and not real. I wish you would give them presents this year so they can know you are real. Mommy says if you don't believe that Santa leaves presents then you don't get any from him; maybe if you leave them presents they'll know you're for real. This year I wish for two dinosaurs. One dinosaur sprays water and the other dinosaur has a remote control and spike collar and he roars. I think it's so nice that you give us presents on Jesus' birthday and I was wondering if you could give Jesus any presents from earth He wants this year. Also, my Grandpa Paul and Grandma Nancy Snyder like to play games with my brother and I and if you leave them presents they will share with us. They're good all the time but never get presents from you but they are like big kids sometimes. This year I will be living at a new house so I hope you can find me. I am six years old now so I can have big girl toys this year. My teacher Mrs. Cumberland is nice and she's good all day so maybe you could give her the best pretend apple ever. Thank you Santa. I know you have Jesus in your heart because you give away His birthday presents because He shares with everyone. Thank you Santa. Merry CHRISTMAS.
