Santa Letters

Thursday, December 20, 2007 8:24 AM EST

 

Dear Santa,

My name is Erica. I am 4 years old. I have been a good little girl this year. Please bring me a swimming baby, a game, some clothes, a barbie and anything else you would like to bring me. I will leave you some cookies and milk. Thank you so much!

Love Erica

Parents are Christy Ferguson & Eric Williamson of Hurt Va.

Dear Santa, I am a student at Mt.Airy School.I have been good this year. Could you bring me a Wii, a flat screen TV, Air Jordan tennis shoes and some clothes? Merry Christmas to everyone.

Tavis Walden, 7

Parents: Lee and Laura Walden, Hurt.

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Jackson Hines and I am 5 years old. I'd like a Power Ranger's movie, or game, and a Ranger costume. I like the red one the best. I also look forward to hunting next year, but I don't have a real gun. I'd like either a shotgun, or a rifle with a scope. Either will be fine to shoot deer and turkey.

I have a new baby sister named Cara. She will be three months old at Christmas. She can't talk or play yet, but I'm sure she would love a talking baby doll so she can learn some cool words. I think she will like a toy puppy that barks, also, and maybe some girlie-stuff like Barbie or princess. She's not picky-yet.

Thank you for everything you brought last year. Be careful on your travels. Merry Christmas!

Children of Ben and Melissa Hines of Climax.

Dear Santa,

And don't forget something nice for the "Best Auntie" a little boy could have my Aunt Tonya Starling, my Mommy Angela, and my grandparents, Janice and Calvin Starling.
