Santa Letters

 

We are all probably guilty of writing letters to fictitious characters; I wrote so many letters to the tooth fairy indicating the appraisal value of the tooth I just lost. However, no one gets more letters than Santa Claus. I have a niece, and her entire school wrote letters to Santa Claus and the city newspaper printed them. This blog posting will contain some of the more amusing letters and things I learned from reading the letters.


After reading the letters there were several things that I became more aware of:

• There are a lot of toys that kids want these days that I have no ideas what they are (i.e. doggy doo game, beyblades)....and this makes me feel old and unhip.
• In the letters, kids are really concerned about Santa's reindeers and how they are doing.
• Approximately 90% of kids want at least one electronic device.
• Children still want Easy Bake Ovens and Furbies.
• Kids of all ages want pogo sticks.
• Many kids promise to barter milk and cookies for gifts.
• Children of all ages cannot spell correctly even if their Christmas gifts depended on it.
• Most common misspelled words: trampoline, want, horse, Claus, Christmas, and reindeer.

Below are some of the more amusing letters that were printed. Bill Cosby was a genius when he had the show "Kids Say the Darnest Things" but kids also write the darnest things. Disclaimer: spelling and grammar have not been correct for the reason that it is funnier that way :)
