Dear Santa, Love Collection

Editor’s note: Here are some letters mailed to Santa Claus via the Park Rapids Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce’s special mailbox at Pioneer Park. Merry Christmas!


 

Dear Santa,

I wish for (if it’s possible) the world to be Minecraft and for Autobots (good Transformers) to be real and Bumblebee to be my car. I also want to be 15 and Ironhide, Racket, Jazz and Mirage to be alive. I also wish to be able to, like, shift through dreams. So, like, for some time when I’m Winterix Prime (Transformer-me) and sometimes Willow (99 Nights-me) and, yeah, you get it … anyways, that’s all I’d for Christmas and if none of these are possible, (1) don’t give me a Bumblebee action figure (hate! >:p) and (2) write me back please! And I’m sorry for all the naughty things I did.

Your love, Alexei


 

Dear Santa,

We will be in Florida for Christmas. Will you please come to our house the weekend before Christmas? You are the best. I love you. Makeup, Gabb watch, Legos – mermaid or unicorn, label maker.

(unsigned)


 

Hi Santa,

(2) Remote control Christmas tree with lights. (3) A gumball machine. (4) A yoyo. (5) A tablet. (6) Remote control car with a claw. (7) Remote control fire truck. (8) Fidget spinner. (9) Wrecking ball. (10) Bulldozer/crane. (11) Pedal tractor and attachments. I will have cookies and milk on the table for you. I will also sprinkle reindeer food out. Thank you, Santa.

Waylon


 

Dear Santa,

This year for Christmas I would like (1) A magical mermaid puzzle. (2) Dizzy Duckies game. (3) House trampoline. (4) Tent, mushroom. (5) Craft supplies. (6) Cake decorating supplies. (7) Makeup. (8) Dot-to-dot. (9) Charm bracelets. (10) Dig It Up Discoveries mermaids. (11) Speaker. (12) Perfume. (13) Sol de Janeiro. (14) Adidas. (15) Phone. (16) Uggs. (17) Elfskin. (18) Christmas pajamas. (19) Pop Tart plushies. (20) Super NeeDoh. (21) Bag charm. (22) Mini fridge.

Love, your best friend, Elsie


 

Dear Santa,

My name is Ruby and I want a giraffe for Christmas. I also want a camera and a princess toy. Rose wants a stuffed animal and a playmat. I’ve been good this year. What kind of cookies do you want?

Love, Ruby (3) and Rose (2 months)


 

Hi Santa,

It’s me, Bayley from Fargo, N.D. The real reason is not to tell you where I live, it is to tell you what I want. So I, pretty please, want one of those dollhouses that Norah has or a Barbie camper, please. (Or be the most popular.) And … your holiday is my fav one. Tell Mrs. Claus I say hi and give her this note, please.

Bayley


 

Dear Santa,

I hope everything is doing good in the North Pole and hope you’re doing good too. Also, I have a joke for you. What bank does a polar bear go to? The snow bank.

Additionally, I am kind and nice, but when Deklyn ticks me off I lose my jingle bells.

Anyways, what I will really, really would like, well, not like, love to have, Officer Judy Hopps (Zootopia 2) and Nick Wild and Gary De’Snake with a blanket that I can use for movie night because my mom might get me the Zootopia 2 movie. And I hope this is not too much, but could you help dad quit smoking and not swear so much?

Love, Tina

P.S. Where are my manners? How are the elves and reindeer and Mrs. Claus? Merry Christmas!

Dear Santa, Love Texas

A Lone Star State Christmas Celebration―With Real Letters!

Originally published: November 10, 2020
YouTube Trailer - Amazon - Image Samples

    Description:
On the night before Christmas,
Santa mounted his sleigh.
The presents were packed;
Time to be underway!

The night air was chilly,
the hour was late—
When a letter came in from a faraway state.

Santa is all ready to leave on Christmas Eve, but last-minute letters are arriving from Texas! From a little girl who is wishing for snow, to a bluebonnet, guadalupe bass, and mockingbird all looking for a bit more attention, to the bears asking the reindeer for a play date, each letter contains a humorous request that gets even Santa chuckling. Even better, each letter comes tucked in its own pocket envelope with other delightful extras like cards, money for toll roads, and even a map of Texas! How will Santa respond? It’s Texas Christmas magic you’ll have to see!

Santa is all ready to leave on Christmas Eve, but last-minute letters are arriving from Oregon! From a little girl who is wishing for more sunshine to a beaver, meadowlark, and Chinook salmon all looking for a bit more attention, to the bears asking the reindeer for a play date, each letter contains a humorous request that gets even Santa chuckling. Even better, each letter comes tucked in its own pocket envelope with other delightful extras like cards, money for toll roads, and even a map of Oregon! How will Santa respond? It’s Oregon Christmas magic you’ll have to see!

Dear Santa,

We worried that none of the carols mention a GPS for your sleigh, so we’ve enclosed a map to our house. Please turn right at Astoria, fly over the Multnomah Falls, take a right at Sea Lion Caves, and steer towards the Painted Hills. If the police pull you over, we’ve included your fines. That happens to Daddy a lot.

Your loving and helpful friends,

Adam, Stephanie, Christin, and Heather Appleyard

P.S. Our house has a door and some windows. You can’t miss it.
