Letters to Santa: Christmas wish lists from central Wisconsin children

Over the past several weeks, Wausau Pilot & Review received letters addressed to Santa Claus from young children in Wausau and throughout the region. We’ve sent them on to Santa at the North Pole, as promised. The letters we received from children are reprinted here. Did we miss one? Email letters to [email protected] and we’ll add them. To each and every one of you, have a very Merry Christmas (and here’s to a much better new year!)

Dear Santa:

My name is Ethan and I am 6 years old but you know that. This year I tried to be good but sometimes I forgot. I’m sorry about being mean to my little sister sometimes but she is probably on the naughty list so you know what I mean. This year I would like a remote control car. I want a puppy too but my Mom says you don’t bring those. I hope you had a good year. Say hi to Rudolph for me and I hope he’s doing good.

Love, Ethan

Dear Santa:

I don’t want much for Christmas cause I know the true meaning of Christmas and Every single year Stephanie my sister gets not a lot but i realized I dont need any gifts this year all i want is for Stephanie is a gift she can play with cause she has Rett syndrome; that gives her a speech and mobility disorder. please get her a gift not me.

Dear Santa:

I don’t need anything this year but I hope you can bring my dad something. He’s been very sad and I think a dog or even a bunny rabbit would make him happy. I hope you are doing good. Actually, I would like a stuffed animal, too.

Love, Emma

Dear Santa:

Hi I am 7 and my brother said you aren’t real but I know you are. If you are real please can you bring me anything Lego. Especially something I can make a starship out of. I hope you didn’t get covid because that would be bad.

Love, Harper

Dear Santa:

My name is Nessa. I like to read and paint my nails. This year I would like some pretty necklace and earrings. A sweater or a sweatshirt size XL.

Thank you,

Nessa

Dear Santa:

This year it’s been hard to be good all the time but I really try. I hope I am on the nice list.

I really really really really really want a new bike. Mine is too small. Even though I can’t ride it in the winter. I could ride it in the basement. Maybe?

I believe in you.

Love, Olivia

Dear Santa Clause,

I am Sophia age 6. This year I would like some slippers and a new pillow or a learn to sew kit. I hope you like the cookies I’m going to leave out. We might not have milk but if we do I will leave some.

Love, Sophia

Dear Santa,

I wish I could be with my grandma this year but we can’t because of the virus. I want lots of toys and a telescope to see the stars from my room. How are the elfs?

Love, Eli age 5

Dear Santa and Rudolph,

How are you? I am fine. I have been good I promise. My mom is having a bad time so if you could bring her money that would be good. I think 5 or 10 would help. I want a cat. I would take care of her and feed her and everything. I love you. I hope the reindeer are good too.

Love, Isabella

Dear Santa,

This year can you find a cure for covid? Then we can see my grandma and grandpa again like before. Also I would like a tablet or some games. Or a scooter. I am 6 and I have been good.

Love, Charlie

Dear Santa:
I don't know if you are real. My mom says you are but my uncle said no. I think you are real! Thank you for the gifts last year. They were great. This year I would like a remote control truck. And I want some other toys too but I will love whatever the elves make and you bring. I am always good. Well maybe not always but I try to. Merry Christmas!!!!!! 
Love, Alex

Dear Santa,

I’m sorry if I’ve been bad but I try to be good. Online school is not fun. I hope I can go back to real school next year. I can’t go because my sister has spina biffida and she could die so we are all at home. Anyway this year I would like a bike so I can ride it and to see my friends. Any other toys too. I hope you don’t have covid. And the reindeer and everyone at the North Pole.

Love, Jackson

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Chloe. I know people say you aren’t real but I think you are. I would like a play kitchen and some candy. I hope you don’t think I am bad. I’m not!

From your friend,

Chloe
