I thought I would get into the spirit and write a letter to Santa during the Christmas season. You are never too old to write down all the things you want in letter form, addressed to the big man up north.

Dear Santa,

First, I want to thank you for the many years of presents you gave me and my brother. There are so many presents I will never forget waking up to. You gave me something to believe in for many years of my life.

I don’t want you to ever stop the hope you give children every year. It’s something every little kid needs in their life. It is the best feeling in the world to wake up to presents under the tree and to have the milk and cookies gone.

This year for Christmas I do not want a fancy camera, a new phone, or new clothes. I just want my dad to get a job, for my brother to get everything he wants, and for me to go to college. Things have been tough for us, as they are for everyone, but my family deserves a break from the rough patches.

Also, I want you to give every other kid what they want for Christmas. You gave me many years of gifts, and there are so many kids out there that deserve a great Christmas. The holidays are such a great time, especially when you are a kiddo. Although I still consider myself a kiddo at 18, I don’t need the joy of gifts to be happy for the holidays.

So, Santa, go be awesome for other little kiddos.

Love,

Taya
