Dear Santa,
My name is Theus. I have a lot of sisters and brothers. I believe that you are real. When I was seven I thought you was'nt real. I want to have flying raindeer like you do. On christmas I go to Mississippi to visit my family.
I have a lot of questions to ask you. How do you fit in a chimney? How do your raindeer fly? Where did you find the elves? Why are elves so small and have pointy ears?
Theus Green, 8

Dear Theus,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write me. It sounds like you have a big family with lots of love. I get asked about the chimney a lot. Santa’s magic allows me to make it down the chimney without getting hurt. But when there is not a chimney Santa uses his magic key to open the front door to bring the presents in. I am very careful to lock the door when I leave.
Love,
Santa


Dear Santa
hi my name is Dillon I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. SO santa have I been nice or naughty? how old are you? Why does rudolph lead your team of reindeers?
Santa do you love Mrs. Claus? Why did the reindeer laugh at rudolph when he had that shiny nose? Santa has my dad called you this morning?
Love,
Dillon

Dear Dillon, I think you have been nice according to the elves. I use Rudolph when it is cloudy and his red nose can be a big help. The others laughed because they thought his nose was funny but when they saw how much it helped Santa they were OK. Yes Dillon, I love Mrs. Claus very much and you too. Merry Christmas.
Love,
Santa

Dear Santa,
Santa how do you take care of your reindeer? Do you have children or are the elves your children? Also do you have magic to get around the world? Do you love your elves as much as you love your wife?
Emily Earwood, Age 9


Dear Santa,
 How do you take care of your reindeer? How do the reindeer pull the sleigh? Why is the 25th called Christmas? If your big red bag as Santa, how does it not fall off? Why do you have to take our elves? How do you deliver lots and lots of presents?
Maggi Shackelford, 9 years old

Dear Emily and Maggi, Santa has some of the elves that are dedicated to only take care of the reindeer. They keep the stalls clean, brush them and feed them every day. They take pride in the work they do and they do a wonderful job. Thanks for asking.
Love,
Santa


Dear Santa,
How do you deliver all the presents in one night?
Do you sleep at night?
How are the elves?
Did you ever miss a house?
Miranda Weed, Age 8

Dear Miranda, The love, magic and special time tricks allow Santa to make it around the world so fast. Christmas Eve I am up all night but I sleep during the day when I am through. The elves a great and thank you for asking. I all these many years I have never missed the house of a good little girl or boy.
Love,
Santa

Dear Santa,
I will give some cookies and milk to you. I will give you some carrots for your reindeer. I will give you one of my wuggle pets. Wugglepets are so cute.
I love you Snta.
Taylor Banks

Dear Taylor,
That is so nice of you to offer me one of Wiggle Pets but I want you to keep it and when you play with the one that you were going to give me you can think fondly of Santa. Chocolate Chip is my favorite cookie with just a little bit of milk. The reindeer will thank you for the carrots.
Love,
Santa
