All I want for Christmas ...

Nicole - 9 years old Ruskin

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is to stay on the nice list. I look forward to this every year. I had some bad days, but I said sorry and tried to turn them around. I know my elf is watching and I have good grades. This year I started loving Hello Kitty and will take anything with her for Christmas. May I also get an iPhone 16 and a new bike. My cousin accidentally messed the old one up. I would also love a toy car to drive in and a dog please. I also like pop its and gift cards to eat out and buy new things that I like when we go to the store. I would also like for my cousins in Jamaica to be able to get the gifts that they want. They are always very kind and nice when I visit them. They share all of their toys with me, so I hope they are on the nice list too.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is PRESENTS. I like Spider-Man and dinosaurs. Can you fix the screen on my tablet please?

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is to have my family together at home. My dad is away at work right now, but I love having Christmas together. I also wish for some great teammates on my basketball team and new shoes so we can have a good season. Can I also have some games and V Bucks for my PlayStation 5. I also need my iPad fixed if you can.

Dear Santa,

All I want for are toys. Toys, toys, and more toys. I love Barney and toy animals.

Alia - 10 years old Gainesville

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is to see my two sisters, Azra and Sofie who are traveling from Boston to Florida for Christmas to celebrate! We will travel to Orlando to pick them up from the airport. Then, we will open our gifts and have Christmas dinner. I also enjoy Christmas because I get to talk to my friends. But the most important thing about Christmas is not giving but loving and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ who is the real reason for the season.

Dear Santa,

I want a Nighthawk for Christmas; they go really fast. I also would like a makeup set with matching brushes, and tripod selfie stick to hold my phone while I do dances on YouTube, and a BFF bracelet. There are other things, but this will do for now.

Avah - 8 years old Ocala

Dear Santa,

My Christmas list for this year would be not for me to have gifts but for other children to have some of the things that I have. First, I would gather some of my toys that I have outgrown, such as my extra travel case, or my baby alive, and wrap them in pretty packages. In all, I would like to help some family to have a great Christmas.

Dear Santa,

What I really want for Christmas this year is the game Zen and an iPhone 16. I’ve been working really hard to bring my grades up because my mom promised that if I do well, she’ll get me the phone. Just thinking about getting both makes me so happy—it would make Christmas feel extra special! I know my mom has to pay for everything, so I want to do my best to show her that I earned it. If I get the game and the phone, it would be the best Christmas ever! It would make this Christmas one I’d never forget, and I’ll keep working hard to make it happen!

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas are shoes, clothes, LED lights, mouse, and a graphics card. The things I listed are what I want for Christmas. But what I want more, and every year, is to spend time with my family whether it's my mom or dad I know I will always have what I want, a loving family. Knowing no matter whose family I spend Christmas with it will be amazing is one of the best Christmas gifts ever.
