Letters to Santa

Dear Santa, 

I'm glad Christmas is near, 

I've been spreading holiday cheer. 

Please remember, I'm only 2 years old. 

I've been a good boy, or so I've been told. 

If I could request one special gift, 

It would be something great,

catch my drift? 

A truck, a plane, a car!

Maybe I'm just wishing on a star. 

A ball, some rocks or any kind of toy, 

Something so I can be a noisy little boy!

If that is too much to ask, 

its okay to just bring cash!

Love, 

Harlan

Dear Santa, 

I will not take for granted, the many gifts I may receive,

but instead, I'll be thankful this Christmas Eve. 

There are many presents I would like, 

but don't worry, I already have a bike. 

Instead I ask for something I want and something I need, 

Something to wear and something to read. 

A baby doll to snuggle

or a teddy bear to cuddle.

But most of all what I want this year, 

are not lots of toys, my dear. 

But a Christmas full of joy and laughter,

that we'll remember happily ever after!

Love, Waverly

Every year, our hometown paper has a special section

for all of the letters to Santa.  Since the kiddos are still too little to write their own 

letters, I help them out a bit and I always write a poem.  

It always turns out well, but it gets trickier each year to finish my rhymes.  

It wont be long until they are big enough to write their own letters to Santa!
