“Dear Sante”: What Kids (Actually) Wrote to Santa in 2020
2020 was, as one child wrote in their letter to Santa, “all upside down”. This is a special report on what some kids wrote to Santa in 2020, a year that will surely - hopefully - be like no other. From the hysterical to heart breaking - kids had some specific requests and messages this year for Santa.
These are actual Santa Claus letter excerpts from over a dozen local children.

“I am a good girhl”
