Dear Santa,
I am 10 years old. I have been a very good boy this year for my mom, my dad, and my grandparents. very sad that I can’t sit of your lap this year do the Covid-19 that is going around. It’s been a very rough year I had to do homeschooling cause my grandpa was fighting cancer. We was so close and I lost him in September he passed away. I have been a super good kid this year. I would like for Xmas: 1) new phone cause my phone break on me 2) new legos any kind 3) new nerf guns and darts 4) dinosours 5) Minecraft toys 6) play doh 7) new fuzzy blanket 8) new fuzzy socks 9) craft soft 10) Jurassic World legos 11) stuff I can paint for art.
Love you Santa hopefully your getting ready for Christmas. Your super busy all year around. Love you Santa
