Second-graders letters to Santa Claus

The Record-Courier has arranged with Carson Valley elementary schools to print children's letters to Santa Claus as a present to our readers.

Fear not children, Santa has received an advanced copy and knows what you want under the tree.

Dear St. Nick,

I'm seven years old. I like to color and read. Do you have Rudolph on your sleigh? How do you go in the chimney? Ashley would like an iPod, and Austin would like a blue football with black stripes. My mom really wants new pink and blue shoes. My dad wants a toy train, and I would like a horse book and a big toy. Brandan would like a candy cane and me too. Brisin would like a toy. But I will make cookies for you, Santa.

Love,
