LAUREL — Area school children recently underwent one of the annual rites of the Christmas season — writing their Christmas letter to Santa.
Every year Santa receives more letters than previous years from children around the world. He finds it is quite a time-saver to have the letters sent to the local newspaper.
Santa told the Advocate last week that by having letters published in the newspaper his job, and that of his elves, is made so much easier.
“It’s a real time-saver. The elves don’t have to open all of those bags of mail and sort them out,” he said.
The Laurel Advocate invited area students to send their letters to the newspaper this year.
Some of the students have simple requests, others are a little more complicated, some children even included their cell phone numbers and addresses. But since Santa knows all of the phone numbers and addresses by heart, he requested we not print them here.
All of the letters are written from the heart and enjoyable to read, and we would like to share them with you.
