Dear Santa Claus,
I can’t wait till Christmas morning. I’ve been good, but I’ve been bad. I want the movie of Pocahontas, a set of walkie-talkies, a barbie.
Love, Lauren Olmsted
P.S. I am a spy, so I would like a spy kit.
Dear Santa,
I would like some blue finger nail polish. I would also like lots of makeup.
I am nine years old. Thank you! From Niki Fanning
