Capitol 4th grade students hoping for visit from Santa
Laurie Williams
Dear Santa,
r can’t wait until Christmas
comes. There is this one toy I’ve
been wanting ever since it has
been out. It is called a
poohcheechoo. It’s a robbot dog,
and it doesn't walk very fast. I still
like it because it is blue, and I like
blue.
There is a special person that 1
really love. He’s my nephew, and
his name is Tyrell. He is like a
special kid. He loves bright colors
and likes music. Please try to give
him a Clifford puppy 1 haven’t
been good this year, but if you
give him a Clifford puppy I’ll be
good all the time like I am
supposed to be.
Thank you,
Ambrosia Joyce
Dear Santa,
1 can’t wait until Christmas. I
Love Christmas because God was
born. For Christmas I want the
brand new scooter. My brother has
one but he won’t let me ride it. He
thinks 1 might break it, but I
won’t. I promise! I want one.
Bring me one please.
My mom wants a good
Christmas for us!
Love,
Meagan Martinez
Dear Santa,
The one thing I would like to
have on Christmas is a computer. 1
can talk to my friends whenever 1
want, do my homework on it, and
go on line to web sites. My mom
Lives on it. She plays games like
candy Land and drawings on it.
Another thing I want the
people to go to church and Let
there be peace on Earth. I want
everybody to be happy. Let there
be people who do good things.
Sincerely yours,
Albert Ramirez
Dear Santa,
This year I haven’t been very
bad even though I fight with my
brother a lot. I’ve still been pretty
good. This year I want a blue lava
lamp. I like the way that the
bubbles go up. Sometimes when
you turn the light off the bubbles
will freeze in the air.
I also want someone else to get
something. She is eleven years
old, and I want to get her a new
quarter collection. I want to get
her this because her family can not
get her anyting for Christmas. So I
want to get Tier" a quarter
collection. She lickes to collect
stuff, so please get her something
for Christmas.
Love,
Heather Lawless
Dear Santa,
One thing I want for Christmas
is a Gateway computer so I can
get on the Internet and chat with
my friends and write letters about
what I want for Christmas. I can
play solitare with my Dad. He said
he would beat me. But I think that
is inpossible because he can’t beat
at anything. The computer is 1,000
dollars. If I don’t get it that will be
okay because 1 don't want
anything else. Please try to get it
to me. I’ve been a good boy.
Would you please get my cousin a
bike so we can go riding down the
street. 1 could race him. Please
Santa Claus, I don’t want to beat
my brother anymore. It’s getting
boring, so please get my cousin
that bike. I think he’s been a good
boy.
Your Good Pal,
Jonathan Niblett
Dear Santa,
I want a sony play station for
Christmas. I can waL It DVD’s on
it, play music, and of course, play
play station games no it. I want
you to get me a sega Dreeamcast
for my friend. Jermy Kaplan
because he has been nice to me,
and let’s me have candy when he
buys it from the princpal or the
candy machine. He lets me read a
book when I don’t have one to
read.
Sincerely,
Cody Allen Wake
Dear Santa,
The present I want for
Christmas is A Metal Detector
3000. The reason I want it is
because I can find things like a
golden watch, a ring, a
1,000,000,000 or a dimond
necklace. 1 might find these things
at or ranch the park or my
backyard.
One thing I would give to the
orphanage is a Gateway Seller or
processor. I would hook it up for
them and show them how to work
it and give them games to play
with on it.
Yours truly,
Cory Fugate
Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

I have also wanted a stereo for
myself. Now I want cd’s for my

wanted one. She always wants the
same thing as me all the time. She
wants it so bad she’s proably
going to get it.
Thank you,
Denise Almager
Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl this
year. I have done my chores,
throw away my trash, kept my
room neat, and done my
homework. 1 also say please and
thank you. What 1 want for
Christmas is Poochi with green
ears. The reason 1 want it is
because it would be like having a
real dog. The plans I would try
getting it is to save my money,
have a garage sale, or sell
lemonade. My mom has been a
good mom and took care of us all
year. What I want for her is an
Indian collection. 1 want it for my
mom because I know she loves
Indians. I also want everyone to
have a happy Christmas.
Sincerly,
Deborah Martinez

Sincerely,

Dear Santa,
I want a Go-cart because I
want to drive it in the mud and
take my sis on a ride. I could beat
my brother on his bike, and I
could take my brother too.
Elizabeth wants a Game Boy
and lots of games because she
wants one so bad. She wants a
clear one. She said they are so
“bad”. Since I heard her say it, I
thought she might.
Sincerely,

Dear Santa,
What I want is a Blue Scooter
with my name on it so I can ride
with my friends Asten and his

And I’m really trying hard to do
well in school and at home. Please
give me another chance, and I
promise to keep doing what I’m
supposed to.

Dear Santa,
1 think I’ve been good this
year. I’ve made good grades and
helped my friends clean up their
room when we made a mess in it.
Santa, I want a blue scooter, so I
can ride with my friends. We can
pretend we have cars. 1 also want a
scooter because they’re cool. I
know 1 will like it because one of
my friends let me try his and it ws
so fun. I didn’t want to give it
back, but I did anyway. So if I’ve
been good enough, please give me
a blue scooter.
Santa, 1 would also like a robot
dog named Poochey for my sister
because she’s been really good
too. She said she would let our
other dog, ’ Angle play with it.
She’s going to let me play with it
too, but she really wants one. I’ve
got a little robot dog too, and if
you brought her one we could play
together.
Sincerly,
Kirstie Whipple
Dear Santa,
I want one of those new
scooters so I can take it to my
grandma’s house. My sister, my
brother, my cousin and I could
take turns riding it when schools
out. I’ve been wanting one since
they were first out. When my
cousin gets out his bike, I could
follow him on his bike around the
block. Then we could trade places.
I’ll be riding the bike around the
block and he’ll be riding the
scooter around the block. 1 have a
piece of string tied to me, and I’ll
be behind him with roller skates.
Then we switch places. 1 think my
cousin should get a penball
like he always wanted
he’s been really, really
machine
because
good.
Sincerely
your friend,
R.J. Wheeler

play with it in the backyard. I want

might need a bike to have riding
with my friends and also for the
end of the school year when the
whole fourth grade goes on a bike
hike.- Our teachers told us we are
going to ride all the way to the
park. They also told us last year
some of the kids couldn’t last all
the way so they had to ride in back
of a pick up truck.
My sister named Marisa would
probably want a set of doctor toys.
I hope she doesn’t come running
trying to opeate on me. She likes
to be the doctor and sure I nev ;r
get to be the doctor. I always have
to be the patient.
