The following letters arrived after last week’s paper was printed, but in plenty of time to be forwarded to the North Pole:

Dear Santa, 

All I want for Christmas is for my family to be happy, hatchimals, and big hatchimal eggs. 

Love, Jaecy-Mae Makings 

Dear Santa,

I’ve tried really hard to be a good girl this year! It is hard sometimes! I would like a new baby doll and a Barbie. I really like lip gloss, too!  Don’t forget my brother. He likes trains! my dog, Belle, needs a new toy, too. Thanks! 

Love, Ella Sperber

Dear Santa, 

How are you doing? Please don’t forget to stop at my house on Christmas! I’ll have milk and cookies for you! I would like a Thomas and Friends Super Station and some trains for my train tracks. Thanks Santa! 

From, Greyson Sperber
