Dear Santa, I hope that you think that I have been a good girl this year, because I’m going to ask for something extra special. I am not going to ask for anything for me, but for others who need much more than I do. As a teacher, each day I see many kids who just don’t have much outside of school. This year, I wish for you to provide those kids with something extra. I don’t need anything, so send some extra gifts (that would have been for me) to those who don’t get as much. Please send food to those who are hungry, shelter to those who need it, and show love for those who just don’t get enough from the family and friends around them. I know it’s a big request for you, sir, but I’m sure the big man upstairs would be glad to help, if you only ask. Thanks for bringing so much joy to the world each year. Sincerely, Ms. Erica Taylor
