Dear Santa

Newbury Weekly News

Dear Santa At Christmas I think all children should have fun playing and making things. I like making crafts and doing colouring and painting. For Christmas I would like a bigger bike because I have grown so much, roller skates and a scooter. Mummy and Daddy say I might be lucky and get one of those things – but I really want all three. At school we are doing a nativity play and I am Joseph! This year we are being filmed because the grown-ups aren't allowed to come to school because of the coronavirus. If I had a wish, I would wish for ever yone to have a lovely Christmas so please can you help? Thank you Santa Love Oliver x

Dear Santa, I love you. I hope your reindeers have enough to drink and are well. I’d like you to come to my house, so I can see you and the reindeer. Come and see my house. You can stay here this week if you like. Please can I have a baby panda and a baby panda bottle. Have a nice Christmas and drive safely. Love Darcey xxxxxx

Dear Santa, I have been a very good boy so far this year and I am really looking forward to my first ever Christmas. My little teeth are starting to come through so I would really like something I can chew on. My big sister Summer has told me we must remember to put out some milk, carrots and a mince pie for you and your reindeers. Hope you are all safe and well at the North Pole. Lots of love, Noah

Dear Santa I have been very good this year and I am doing very well at big school. I really miss my two best friends Aoife and Georgia from nursery and hope to see them again soon when the virus has gone. I would really like this year a big T-Rex, a Barbie and a Beautiful chair. Lots of love Summer
