Dear Santa,
My name is William Pine and I am 7 years old. I live in Mt. Vernon. This year I have been good. For Christmas I would like: 1. a transformer, 2. real puppy, 3. hotwheels and tracks
Thank you for all that you do!
Love,
Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year. Three reasons I have good this year are: 1. take the trash out, 2. I have been a good boy, 3. clean the check-out room. Three things I would really like for Christmas this year are: 1. hatchet, 2. tomahawk, 3. Swiss army knife. I canât wait to see what you bring me!
