Dear Santa…

Here they are – those fabulous letters to Santa, written by first grade students at Peotone Elementary School. We’d like to thank PES for allowing us a peek at what is on the minds of these young people at this time of year. Make sure you read them all, as it will help with your Christmas shopping if you have little ones on your list, plus some of the comments can only come from the wisdom of a six-year-old, including arrows pointing the way to the cookies – not heard that one before!!!

It’s nice to know that in all the years we’ve been doing this, some toys remain a favorite, or at least circle back around – including Air Jordans, Barbie and all her accessories, Legos, and Mario is still in the mix, plus some new additions this year. So, grab a cup of hot chocolate, sit back, and see what that Jolly man in the red suit needs to have in his bag this year!! Merry Christmas!! Life is Good!!
