My first Christmas

Dear Santa, My name is Brinley Rogers, I’m 7 weeks old and I live in Chamberlai­ns. This year will be my first Christmas and my mom and dad have been telling me how exciting this day will be for me. I won’t ask for much this year as I’m still pretty little but I would love a new playmat to play on, some new nummies, and maybe some new shoes (mommy tells me I’m gonna love shoes). I’ll be sure leave you some milk and cookies! Just look for the new plate and cup that says “Cookies and Milk for Santa”. I’ll leave some carrots for the reindeer. PS. If you know Santa Paws, could you kindly ask him to send along some treats and new toys to my fur-brother, Bentley? He’s been such a good brother to me since I came along and deserves some treats under the tree as well. Merry Christmas Santa!

Love,

Brinley

Terrible twos?

Dear Santa, I have been an awesome boy this year and am so excited for you to come to my house. Mom says I might not be able to say the same thing next year as I’m turning 2 on January 2nd, I heard something about terrible two’s. Anyway, this year I would love a big dump truck to play with, I LOVE trucks. I would also love a bone for my best friend and dog Finley. We can’t forget about my favourite cousin Claire - I think she’d love some pasta. I would also love something special for both my mommy & daddy, nannies & poppies, and my aunts and uncles who love me so much. Puppy and I will be in bed early waiting for you on Christmas Eve. I’ll be sure to leave some milk & cookies for you and carrots for the reindeer. Thank you for all the gifts last year.

Love you Santa!

I’m super excited

Dear Santa, It’s your little friend, Audria! I turned one year old in September, and I’m super excited for Christmas! Mommy and Daddy say that I’ve been a really good girl since your last visit. I’m growing so fast and learning lots of new things! I’d like to thank you so much for the presents you brought me last year. This year, I’d like to have a kitchen set, because I love helping my mommy cook and bake! Please don’t forget my family, my little friends, and my silly puppy, Brody. He has been such a good boy this year, and would love a new squeaky toy! I’ll be sure to help mommy bake some cookies for you, and we will leave a few carrots for your reindeer. Have a safe trip, Santa!

Love,

Audria Lovell Hughes Brook

A couple of surprises

Dear Santa, Thank you for all the presents you gave me last year. I had so much fun playing with them! Mommy said I was a good girl this year. For Christmas I would like a star karaoke machine, The Crayon’s Christmas book and an easy bake oven. If you want to leave me a couple of surprises that would be nice! Please be good to all my grade one classmates at Baltimore school, my sister Gracie and especially all the kids who will spend Christmas in the Janeway. Have a safe trip on Christmas Eve!

Love your little elf,

It was a blast!

Dear Mr. Kringle - It’s me, Max Stapleton! I will soon be 19 months old so this is my second Christmas! I would like to thank you for all the gifts that you gave me last year and the wicket time I had on Christmas morning. It was a blast! All the gifts that you gave me were terrific and greatly appreciate­d. I have been a good boy all year and I am learning to get along with my big fur brother, Darcy. I share my food with him and I give him lots of hugs and kisses - even when he doesn’t want them. This year for Christmas I would like a table and chair set, some clothes (so I can look good for my girl, Anna), and of course some surprises! Please don’t forget all the other boys and girls, even if they have been a little naughty. Your cookies will be in the usual place. Mom will have to make sure Dad doesn’t eat them before you get here so you better hurry! I’m so excited for the big day and I know you are too! P.S. The key to the front door will be under the mat!

Love,

Max

Room in your sleigh

Dear Santa -It’s me – your little friend, Elliott Corbin, from Paradise, NL. I hope you, Mrs. Claus, and all of your friends at the North Pole are doing well! I’m 2 years old this year, and getting really excited for Christmas! I’ve been a good boy all year, although my mommy says that “the terrible twos are a real thing” (whatever that means?). For Christmas this year I hope you have room in your sleigh for a gift for me! I know you can’t always bring children every gift they would like, but in case you’re stuck for ideas here are a few things I would like: A play kitchen, an art easel, skates and some new books to read with my mommy and daddy. Santa, please don’t forget about all the little boys and girls who may be spending Christmas in the hospital and of course the doggies at the shelters! I will leave you some delicious cookies and maybe a coffee instead of milk to help you on your long journey, and some apples for the reindeer! Thank you, Santa, and I wish you safe travels on Christmas Eve!
