		<description>I did that for my son, i used the letter he wrote santa for help on what to say.. i just thanked him for his letter and told him he has been a good boy most of the year except for a few incidents (name one)  i also told him to keep up the good work and not to fight with his cousin and aunts (i have 9 an 11 year old sisters lol)  I also mentioned that santa cant fit all the toys in his sled(he wanted a car he can drive.. not gonnahappen!)  There are plenty of sites to help though.. a few already mentioned in these answers.  My mom pointed out the fact it looked like my handwriting lol, luckily he is only 5 an doesnt recognize it! 

I put it in a red felt bag and glued a snowflake address to the outside, i added a christmas pen and a candy cane, i put it in the mailbox an had him check the mail with me, he was sooooo thrilled!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>That&#039;s sweet. I almost did something similar for my 6 yr old, but I&#039;m too worn out!

My daughter has some flowers out front. They are starting to die and need to be cut back before they look too horrible. I was going to kinda shred some of them with a knife about an inch from the ground and put a &quot;hoof print&quot; next to one of them and say &quot;p.s. one of my reindeer got overly excited and nibbled on your flowers.&quot;

Did she particularly like a toy that she got last year? Santa might put that he is glad to see how much she has been enjoying it. If any of her presents this year have a similar theme - he could say that he knows the old toy &amp; new toy will enjoy playing together.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>It should say  (for example)
 (Ex 1) Dear Bethany,
Thank you VERY much for the cookies and milk! It was very good! Wow! You&#039;re already five years old Jeez it seems like just last Christmas I was giving you your very first present. I saw you at the store the other day you&#039;re adorable, well I have lots of presents to deliver so I have to go bye!
Santa!


 Ex 2 Well bless my whiskers, Bethany!  I still remember bringing you your very first Christmas present and here you are 5 years old already!  I hope you are getting excited about Christmas because I am really looking forward to visiting your home!  Rudolph said he&#039;s really excited about visiting your home too!  I also hear you&#039;ve been a REALLY REALLY good girl.  (HO!! Ho!! ho!! at least that&#039;s what it says on my list right here at the front of the sleigh!).


Ho ho ho Bethany

I can see that you are asking for a Barbie boots this year. Many of the children around the world have been asking for this gift from me! I&#039;ll have to tell the elves there is a request for one more. If not, perhaps they have another Barbies or a Kelly doll somewhere in the workshop. You tell me that you have been naughty most of the time this year! I&#039;ll have to make sure to check my list again and make sure you are in the right place. Remember to always help your parents out and be good all year. I never like seeing kids names on the naughty list. Thank-you for taking the time to write me a letter! Also, Mrs. Claus and Rudolph say hello! Merry Christmas! See you on Christmas Eve! Ho Ho Ho! Love, Santa
Let&#039;s see what you put in your letter for Christmas wishes: 1. barbie; 2. pare of rollar skates and; 3. polly pocket.  HO!! Ho!! ho!!  Those ARE good presents!!  The elves have packed everything they possibly could into the sleigh, but we can never get all the presents in that we would like (after all, there are a lot of good boys and girls around the world) so I hope you won&#039;t be too upset with me if you don&#039;t get everything you want for Christmas.

Well, Santa has a lot more presents to deliver tonight so I better go.  Rudolph&#039;s nose is shining especially brightly this year (I think its because the children of the world voted for him to guide the sleigh!).  Santa should have the presents delivered in record time this year... which is a REALLY good thing because he still has to wrap his presents for Mrs. Claus!!  HO!! Ho!! ho!!

Take care Bethany and remember to leave out some of those wonderful treats because Santa Claus is on his way to *your* home tonight!

Merry Christmas To All And To All A Good Night!



P.S.   The reindeer say &quot;Thank You!&quot; for the nice treats!  I hope you don&#039;t mind, but I had a bit of carrot and celery too.  After all, even Santa eats his veggies!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>That&#039;s tough man. Count yourself lucky you&#039;ve decent parents who&#039;re trying to protect you, eventhough weed is harmless.

Mine: Well up till I was 8 years old I always got presents, they were always shit but still..and just to give ye a bit of background my dad is a borderline alcoholic and my mom just flips totally at him and she&#039;s probably up to some shit too. Anyway we&#039;re always flat broke. Anyway back to my story when it came to the christmas when I was 9, suprise no presents. Me being a shorty I was gutted and mom just says your dad drank all the presents money last night. He&#039;d tell him yourself only he&#039;s f*cking p*ssing his pants like a dog in bed....I&#039;ll never ever forget those words. 9 years on and that day is still fresh in my mind. Then as the christmases went by the less I really cared until my baby brother aged 5 now (by my parents, ya big suprise aint it) was old enough to know about santa so somebody had to get him something. It&#039;s only right. My older bro (19) to put it straight doesn&#039;t give a f*ck about this family. So every year since my little brother was fairly young I&#039;d get him little toys and stuff. It&#039;s better than anything I ever got but f*ck it I feel awful having to see him with his friends when it feels like they&#039;re like getting platinum and we&#039;ve got coal. They&#039;re enjoy homies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
