Earlier this month, Grade 1 and 2 students at Sunnyside Elementary school in South Surrey penned their letters to Santa and were kind enough to share them with Black Press Media before mailing them to the North Pole.
And boy, oh, boy, these kids have a lot of questions, Santa.
Now, we know that the Jolly Old Elf has no trouble reading and understanding every single letter he receives, but that’s a part of his magic and not something the rest of us can do.
We’ve endeavoured to print the letters here, just as they were written, but in some places Santa’s helpers (Sunnyside teachers) stepped in to tweak a bit of spelling, just make sure their young students’ Christmas wishes came through loud and clear.
Dear Santa,
Am I on the naughty list?
If not, this is what I want for Christmas:
A reading pillow, Gabby’s Dollhouse, fluffy crocs, rainbow shaped pillow, bracelet set, a kitten lip balm, a bath bomb making kit, Chelsea’s Playhouse, a swimming pool, electric scooter! A NEW BED!!!
