Dear Santa,
Hi, my name is Barrett and I am 7 years old and I think I have been pretty good this year. I hope you are well rested from delivering gifts from last year and I hope you are doing good. My favorite color is lime green. I wear a size 6/7 or 7/8 in boy’s clothes. I wear a size 131/2 in boys shoes. For Christmas this year I would love fidget toys, hot wheels toys, train toys, Minecraft toys, fortnite toys, paw patrol toys, nerf guns, art stuff, learning stuff, and anything else you would like to bring me. Thanks for all my gifts in the past. Santa I will leave you cookies and milk and I will leave the reindeer some carrots it will all be left on the kitchen counter.
Love always,
Barrett
P.S. Please don’t forget my mommy she loves care bears, monkeys, snow globes and pigs.

Dear Santa,
My name is Conner Perkins and I’m 7 years old (8 at the end of December). I think I’ve been a pretty good boy I believe. My elf “Skittles” should report back to Santa that I’m on the good list. This year for Christmas, I’d really like to have some Mario toys, Ryan’s World toys, a skateboard with a helmet and knee pads, wrestlers and a wrestling ring, monster trucks, some new pj’s, clothes, and some winter boots. If it’s not too much trouble, could you make sure my mommy, daddy, my sister Ren and brother Aiden gets something special under the tree. Also something for my nannies, paw paws, cousins, family and my friends at my school. Thank you for all that you brought me last year. Mommy and me will bake you some chocolate chip cookies and tall glass of milk for you next to our tree, and carrots for your reindeer. Have a safe trip Santa.
Love, Conner Perkins,

Dear Santa,
My name is Karah. I am only 3 years old so my God-Mama Mun Mun is writing this for me. Thank you for everything I got last year. This year I would like a new table set with a dry erase board on top, a baby shark vacuum, a new baby doll, barbies, a CoComelon doctor set, and anything with Blippi. I would also like some new clothes because my dad and Gran-Gran says I’m growing up to be a big girl. Also could you be good to my bubby he lives with his dad.
I love you Santa.

Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Dylan Chandler Hoke and I am 5 years old this year! I live in Covington, VA. And as I’m still a small person, my mommy is helping me write this letter. Santa, I started kindergarten at Edgemont Primary this year, so maybe in the next year or two, I’ll be able to write you a letter on my own. I hope you, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and elves are doing well and staying healthy. Also, thank you for my gifts last year. I can’t wait for your visit this year, and as usual trying to catch a glimpse of your sleigh and reindeer. I know you are busy preparing for your trip and doing a last minute second check of the list. Can we talk about that for a minute? I’m learning and growing every day and with that comes challenges. Let’s face it, I’m 5. I could lie to you and say I’ve been on my best behavior year round, but we both now it’s hard being 5 and good every day. I do make my share of mistakes and throw tantrums like the next child, however, I do try and learn from them and mommy and daddy says I am good for the most part! That being said, if you can find room in your sleigh or magic toy bag, all I really want this year is a real 4-wheeler. Those plastic ride ones haven’t really held up for me! I don’t know who’s making them, but it’s not elves, man ship material that’s for sure! If that’s not possible, a trampoline or tyke motorcycle will do. Please don’t forget my sissy and cousins and all of the other boys and girls all over the world! Is it possible to blow some snow down from the North Pole? I will leave you some cookies and milk by the Christmas tree, and a snack for the reindeer as well. I love you Santa Claus!
Love Always,

Dear Santa,
I’m new to this game but I’m working on figuring it out! I’ve been a really good girl and just starting to get into things BUT I’m learning “No” very quickly. I listen to it most of the time but I really like to flash a quick smile and ignore it sometimes too! I’m still little so I don’t have a whole lot of wants this year and I already have my front teeth so if you could bring me a few new toys to play with we’ll be best friends and maybe some clothes I seem to grow out of mine awfully fast. My wild dog Roux needs a new toy or 2 to play with too because she has destroyed all of hers and tries to take mine. My buddy Judson just needs some bones, he doesn’t care too much for toys. Well I guess that is all for this year Santa, I am sure my list will get longer in a few years. I am learning to share so I will leave you some milk on the table and a few of my favorite cookies.

And a lot of other things, but I don’t want to seem greedy! So, Santa, you remember what we talked about the other night, so keep your promise and bring my stash to me. I will thank you just like I promised! My mom has been a good girl too this year, she cleaned up her room and deserves some popcorn and please bring her a cook book, Please! Could you bring my Pawpaw a box of honey buns, bring my Uncle John and Aunt Sus some doughnuts and ice cream so I can eat those when I go to their house. Santa, I wish you and Mrs. Clause and your elves a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will leave you and the reindeer some treats to help you on your journey AFTER YOU DROP OFF MY STASH.
Love and Kisses,

Dear Santa,
My name is Brayden Charles Campbell and I live in Manquin, Va. I come to visit my MawMaw and MiMi here a lot. I hope you and everyone at your home are ok. I’m writing to you to ask you to bring me some toys. I love the toys I’m listing. These are some that I want. A flying toy that brings magic into reality, a ninja sward that is motion activated, a LED writing tablet that is 10 inches (drawing pad) and gifts and toys for all the other kids. That’s all sir.
Love you,

Dear Santa,
My name is Gerilynn Campbell and I am only 4 years old, so my MiMi is writing this for me. I live in Manquin, Va. I visit my MiMi and MawMaw Sam’s a lot. I asked my MiMi to tell you some things I’d like to have for Christmas. I would like a toy family that has a daddy, mommy, brother and sister, MawMaw and MiMi. I would also like a gas pump for my pink car you got me a couple years ago. And I would also like a car wash for it. I hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas!

Dear Santa,
Thank you so much for all my gifts last year. I loved my bow and arrow set, my bulldozer, and nerf gun. I hope you have had a good year. Mom and dad say I have been about 90% good this year. I know that I have had a few bad days but please do not bring me a lump of coal for Christmas, I promise I will try to do much better next year. This year for Christmas I would love to have the Power Rangers Dino Fury Megazord, a Nintendo Switch, the Jurassic Park bed set, and anything with dinosaurs, cars, boats, campers, and nerf guns. Mom says that you normally don’t bring electronic gifts so I hope you will talk with my mom and dad about getting the Nintendo Switch for me if you cannot bring I to me. Please bring my best friend Brycen something nice. Also, please bring Jeston, Mia, and all my cousins something they will love. Be safe while traveling this year. I will leave cookies and sweet tea for you and carrots for all the reindeer.
Love,

Dear Santa,
This year I am 3 years old! I am a big girl now so, this fall I started Pre-school. I love my school! My mommy and daddy said I am a great helper taking care of Griffey and Chipper, can you bring them some more bones and maybe a toy? Baby Char is getting so big, she is almost walking! She really likes baby dolls and I think she would like for you to bring her one for Christmas. In May, Baby Ryder was born and when I go to Gram maw and PaPa’s house I get to play with him, I even help change his diapers, but not the poopy ones. After Christmas mommy and daddy said I finally get to be a BIG SISTER, sometimes I get to hear her heartbeat in mommy’s belly! I am so excited to help take care of her, I told my mommy and daddy that I will help feed her, rock her and change her diapers too! Maybe you can bring her a binky for her stocking? Thank you so much for all the toys you brought me last Christmas I have had so much fun playing with them, especially my makeup desk and Nuggets! This year, I would really like a Barbie Dream House and Barbie Camper, Chelsea is my favorite. I hope you have been staying safe and well, I pray every day that everyone will stay healthy and safe from the virus! I will bake you cookies and leave you some milk on Christmas Eve, maybe some carrots for the reindeer too but, I have special reindeer food for them that I will throw in the yard too!
