Every year we go to are grandmas and her family are there to celebrate with us. There is a whole bunch of food like chicken, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and a lot more. All my cousins aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas are there. Then there are the games. We play bingo and if you get a bingo you get to pick out a present. Then at the very end we shoot fireworks. That is my favorite Christmas tradition.

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list because, once I did my chores when I was suppose to. I take care of my dog and cat and I help cook dinner.

Reason one, once I did my chores when I was suppose to. After my mom bought me a phone she told me to do the dishes(instead of me saying" make Adriana do it") I said"ok" so I did the dishes. One time I cleaned my room without being asked, and I cleaned the living room without being asked. That rarely happens.

Reason two, I take care of my cat and dog. When ever my dog is circling her food and water dish I feed and water her. When ever my cat goes to her food and meows I feed her. When ever my dog and cat ( stands by the door) I let them outside.

Reason three, I help cook dinner. When I'm at my grandma and grandpa's I help cook dinner. Sometimes when my mom is tired after work I make dinner for everyone. When I'm at Sophia's and her parents are tired we make dinner for everyone.

Yeah but, thera that one time I sat on my dog(I didn't put all my weight on her) I sat on her because she was in my way she is just to fat.

In conclusion, that is why I should be on the nice list because I do my chores sometimes when I'm suppose to,I take care of my dog and cat and I help cook dinner.

Sincerely,

Atalya Mitchell

Dear Santa,

I am giving you 3 reasons why I should be on the nice list. The first reason is I did my chores. I also helped Chey and Dally. The last reason is that I helped Tucker Cool. These are my 3 reasons I should be on the nice list.

The first reason I should be on the nice list is because, I do my chores everyday, and I did my chores when I was told to. I also did my without being told.

The second reason I should be on the nice list is because I also helped Chey and Dally get ready to ride their cows. I also made sure they were ok after their ride. Also, I made sure we stayed out of trouble.

The third reason is that I helped Tucker Cool. I helped Tucker at the rodeos. I also helped him in the announcers stand. The third reason is I also helped him with the kids in the announcers stand.

Yeah, but I did jump in a pile of leaves when I was told not, But on the bright side its all better now.

I should be on the nice list because I helped Chey and Dally, and I helped Tucker. I also did my chores.These are three reasons why I should be on the nice list.

Sincerely,

Grace Hart

Dear Santa,

So you know how I'm so good every year! Well if you don't believe me, here are some reasons. I help make food for my family. I do my chores! I also help my brothers. Now if you still don't believe me I will give you some reasons.

When I said I help make food I helped my Dad when he was making deer steak. When we were having hamburgers for dinner I helped make some! Also I made breakfast for my family once. Don't you think that's good enough? I have more reasons...

When I said I did my chores I cleaned my room when I was told. Also, when I had to do the dishes I did. Also when I had to clean my room I did. Now if you still don't believe me I have just one more reason.

When I said I helped my brothers, I helped one of them do the dishes. I helped my oldest brother clean his car then I helped my brother do his chores. You better be convinced I dont have anymore good stuff to say...

Santa embrace yourself because there was this one time when I dirtied all the dishes and it was Jacob's turn because I was mad at him. But I helped him with them.

So Santa, I helped make the food for my family, I did my chores and helped my brothers. You believe I should be on the good list, right?

Sincerely,

Hailey Reisinger

Dear Santa,

I know this is the time of year where you are looking at your list so just to make sure I'm on the nice list here are 3 reasons why I should be on the nice list.

Reason 1, I helped my sister clean up after her friends came over. ( Even though she doesn't have a lot of friends I still helped)I picked up the trash, vacuumed, and cleaned the dishes.

Reason 2, I helped my parents take in the groceries.I help by taking the groceries into the storage room, I also put the groceries away, and the bags.

Reason 3, I clean my room, I put my clothes away and vacuum.I also make my bed.

Yeah but there was this one time where I blamed my sister for eating all the cake even though I had most of it, but she deserved, I don't know why but she did.

So that's why I deserve to be on the nice list encase you need a refresher, I helped my sister clean, I pack in the groceries and I clean my room.

Sincerely,

Kyzer Herres

Hello Santa I'm going to tell you why I should be on the nice list...

One reason is I do my work in school/no missing work because once back in 5th grade I didn't do my work but now I do. My 2nd reason is I also had a lot of work because I fell asleep in class. My last reason is I did fell asleep in class but I don't now.

My second reason why I should be on the nice list because I do my chores. First reason is I Do my chores on Tuesdays and Fridays. 2nd is I take turns doing dishes on those days. Last is we don't fight anymore doing the dishes since we hate doing the dishes.

My last reason is why I should be on the nice list is because of Lizzy's fish. I feed them every day and if I'm at my dads on the weekends my mom feeds them for me. My second reason is that I keep them happy at all times. And my last reason is I don't clean their bowl Lizzy does.

But...the time I was naughty was when I ate my brother's food. I don't regret it at all because it was super good. I eat in my room and I still do, sorry.

Why my name should be on the nice list is because I do the dishes, stop throwing tantrums, and I love my fish.

Sincerely,

Melinda Tuck

Dear Santa,

In my letter I will tell you 3 reasons why I deserve to be and not to be on your "nice list". I annoyed my friends, helped watch the dogs, and I did my chores.

When I annoyed my friend she annoyed me back. Then the next day I annoyed ALL of my friends. So, at lunch recess that day, most of them annoyed me back. I don't think that was a good idea, but it was pretty funny.

When I was watching the dogs I had to watch the puppy, and guess what puppies do, THEY BITE! So yeah, my puppy bit me. So, my puppy bit me and I was going to hit her but instead, I grabbed a toy and played with her to be nice. Next thing I know I'm spinning her around in circles with her holding on to one end of a rope and me holding the other end.

I cleaned my room, unloaded AND LOADED the dishwasher with my brother, and did the laundry as chores. But the hardest chore was to clean my room because my room was a MESS! But now it looks better than it was before.

I have been pretty nice this year but yet, I have been naughty too so I guess I either belong on both lists or neither.

Even though I annoyed my friends, watched the puppy, and did my chores, I don't think I should be on either of the lists.

Sincerely,

Nevada Zaval

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list because I did my chores, I was nice to my brother and I helped my Nana. I think these are enough reasons to get on the nice list. There has been a few times when I have been bad but let's focus on the times I have been good.\This is the first reason why I should be on the nice list I took out the garbage. I also unloaded the dishwasher when my mom told me to. Another thing I did was I fed the horses when my mom told me to.\The second reason is I was nice to my brother. The reason I think I was nice to my brother is I gave him all the candy I did not want. I also let him play the ipad which we usually fight over. I also sat by my brother on the bus even though I didn't want to.\The third reason I should be on the nice list is I helped my Nana. I helped my Nana make dinner when we had a family gathering. I also helped her on her hillside. I also cleaned up after Hud when I was at her house.

But there was one time that me and my brother got mad at each other. Me and my brother got in a fight. I finally apologized after my mom told me to, so, I technically apologized.

Now I have told you all the reasons why I should be on the nice list. I was nice to my brother, I did my chores. I also told you I helped my Nana. Now you know all the reasons why I should be on the nice list.

Sincerely,

Sadie Klaveano

Dear Santa,

Here are some reasons why I should be on the nice list. I always do my chores when my mom tells me to. My brother doesn't and my mom gets mad. I also should be on the nice list because I survived "WarMart"...I mean Walmart. But now we call it WarMart because a family member messed up saying Walmart and said WarMart. The name fits black Friday shopping though. Once my mom took me shopping on black Friday. We were just trying to look for the Samsung tablets but they kept getting moved. There were some people in one place trying to get around. The best way staying together was holding hands. That is why I should be on the nice list for surviving WarMart! Just spend your holly Christmas with your family and have fun. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. Don't let Santa take his thunder!

Sincerely,

Savannah Robinson

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list because even when my brother doesn't I sometimes do my chores when I'm told. I also work for my own money when my grandma doesn't have any. Even when I'm not asked I take care of our lawn.

These are three specific examples from this year that I have been nice, number one: there was this one time when I moved here, I was looking for jobs and my neighbor was having a yard sale. She paid me to mow her lawn and rake leaves. Also, I kept an eye out for that same persons dog when he gets hit by someone. Last but not least I bring in firewood from our shop with my brother.

Ok now this is three examples of when I've been bad this year, number one: I've been in quite a few fights this year in school, I drew on santa on the brainstorming paper, I ate my brothers snack food when I was not supposed to.

Another three times when I was bad, number one: I went to myers when I was not supposed to number two: I smacked my brother"he smacked me first" number three I did not do my homework on purpose.

Even tho I smacked my brother and did not do my homework I have not done any of those since the fact.

After all the bad stuff I have done I think I should still be on the nice list because all the good stuff I have done should overrule the bad stuff even though I did a lot of bad stuff I did more good stuff.

Sincerely,

Dylan Key

Dear, Santa

I think I should be on the nice list because I do my chores, feed my steers, and do my homework.

The first reason is I do my chores, like do the dishes and empty the dishwasher, feed the dog and water him. I clean my room when it is dirty.

I also feed my steers. Give them grain when they need it. They also need hay to keep warm and to eat. They also need to be worked with so I can show them.

I do my homework when the mean teacher gives it to me. I have to do Math, reading, and my spelling homework. So I should be on the nice list for that.

Yeah but I also talk in class but now I don't.

I do all my chores, feed my steers so is that enough to get my on the nice list and I also do my homework, SO.

Sincerely,

Grayson Slaybaugh

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list because I do my bed, feed my chickens, and clean my room.

My first reason is that I make my bed every morning. When I do my bed, I first grab my pillows and put them in the right spot. Then, I fix my bottom sheet. Last, I throw the covers on my bed neatly.

My next reason is that I feed my chickens. When I feed my chickens, I take them their feed in a can. Then, I give them water in their big container. Last, I pick their eggs up and take them inside and wash them.

My last reason is, I clean my room. When I clean my room, I pick up the objects on the floor. Then I vacuum my room. Last, I clean my windows.

But there was that time when I chased a chicken with my lawn mower. Although I never said sorry to the poor chicken but I think the chicken got eaten by an animal, so it's all good.

So, these are the three, GOOD reasons, I make my bed, feed the chickens, and clean my room, so I think I deserve to be on the nice list.

P.S: If you do not put me on the nice list, I will hunt your heinie down and make you put me on the nice list and also I know where you live!!!

Sincerely,

Ismael Arteaga

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list. One reason is I do all my chores another reason is I do all my school work. The third reason is how I'm nice to my family

First, I should be on the nice list because I feed and water our horses every day. I also fold and put away all of the laundry that's mine sometimes more. Another reason is I make sure my room is clean, so I do all my chores to keep things clean.

Next, I do all my school work. I also always finish all my school work so I don't have missing school work. I never have homework and I always get good grades. So I also do good in school.

One more reason is I'm nice to my family. One reason I'm nice to my family is I gave my family a lot of candy from Halloween. Two more reasons are I help around the house by cleaning things and I help with dinner.

Even though there was this one time I was bad. That was when I didn't do my chores because I didn't want to. But I apologised to my mom and dad and they forgave me so we were good.

So that's why I think I should be on the nice list. I should be because I do my chores, I finish my school work, and I'm nice to my family. So those are the reasons I should be on the nice list.

Sincerely,

Leah Quarles

Dear Santa,

I think I should be on the nice list because I get wood in every day, I feed the dog every day and do the dishes without being asked too.

Every day after school, the first thing I do is get wood in. One day after school I got three loads of wood in when I was only supposed to get two load of wood in and it lasted us three days.

Whenever I come home from school I check if the dog has food and water if he still has a lot of food and water then I let him outside to go to the bathroom. Then I at least spend ten minutes playing ball with him.

Most nights after dinner I do the dishes. One time I woke up and did the dishes after school I did the dishes so I didn't have to do them after dinner.

One time I got in trouble for taking a soda without asking and I was told if I cleaned my room I could have that soda so I did and I got that soda.

I think that I should be on the nice list because I do a lot of chores, take care of my dog ,and clean around the house.

Sincerely,

Michael Thorson

Dear Santa,

I'm going to state three reasons why I deserve to be on the nice list. Reason one, I'm caught up on work. Reason two, I did my chores. Reason three, I have good grades, well I think.

Reason one, I'm caught up in school work. After school I do my homework. I don't have missing work, and I turn work in on time.

Reason two, I did my chores. I made my bed. I cleaned my room, nd I did my school work.

Reason three, I have good grades. I do my work. I try my hardest, and I study for my tests.

Yeah, but once I maybe forgot to bring my homework home, but that was one bad grade I'm not PERFECT!

This is why I deserve to be on the nice list because I do my chores, I do my school work, and I have good grades.

Sincerely,

Olivia Cooper

Dear Santa,

These are three reasons why I should be on the nice list. The reasons are because I babysit my siblings, l pack in wood and I do my chores.

Reason # one, why I should be on the nice list. I baby sit so my parents don't have to pay a babysitter. Also l feed them when there hungry and I clean the house to give my mom a break.

Reason # two why I should be on the nice list. I pack in wood and stack it. To keep the house warm to give my dad a break. So my mom doesn't get mad.

Reason # three I should be on the nice list.I do my chores, so I don't get in trouble, so we have a clean house. Also so my mom doesnt get mad.

Yeah but there was that one time I sat on my little brother, because he through a full water bottle at me but I apologized.

This is why I should be on the nice list. I babysit, I pack in wood and I do my chores.

Sincerely,

Sophia Phelps

Dear Santa,

I should be on the nice list. I help kids, play football with others and I stick up for my cousins. I should also be on the nice list because I make dinner for my mom and brother and sister. I also do the dishes, and sometimes do the laundry. I also take care of my dog, cat and if I get a horse, rabbit, pig and chicken I will take care of them.

Sincerely,

Tyler Matheny

Dear Santa...

These are some of the reasons I should be on the nice list this year. I do what my parents ask me to do. Im nice to my sisters even though their not nice to me. I do all of my chores when im asked to do them.

Reason 1,I cleaned my room when my parents told me to clean it.I helped my dad mechanic when we went to the farm.I killed all of the mice in the field for my grandpa

Reason 2,I helped my little sister with some of her homework.I watered my stear every time it was empty and I cleaned it when it was dirty.I took the trash out every day even though it was really hard to do.

Reason 3,I fed my steer every day and I had to feed my freinds steer every day morning and night.I helped my dad feed the cows all year long.I helped our workers buck bales over the summer and my friend Peyton helped us with it me and him thought it was miserable.

Yeah but...I shot a few birds and killed them but I buried them and had a memorial and asked for their forgiveness.

So these are some of the reasons that I should be on the nice list and not the noghty list.

Sincerely,

Levi Bowen

Dear Santa,

This is why you should put me on your nice list. These are my reasons why. I helped my mom with her canning at home. I also did all my chores at home. Also I helped my sister learn volleyball.

My first reason is that I helped my mom with her canning at home. I helped by peeling apples and cutting them. I also did help with the dishes and put them away. I also put the lids on and I got to listen to the POP!

My second reason is that I did all of my chores. I fed all of the animals and I watered all of them. I did all of the dishes without being told twice. I cleaned my room without being told a million times.

My third reason is I helped my sister with learning how to play volleyball. First I showed her how to set the ball. Then I showed her how to bump the ball, she was good at it. Last I showed her how to spike the ball and she smacked me in the face with the ball.

Yeah but...one time I kicked our new puppy Tizzy. Then when we got to the barn I started to pet her. She deserved the kick she was in my way.

These are the reasons why I should be on the nice list. I helped my mom with her canning. I did all of my chores. I also helped my sister with volleyball.

Sincerely,

Ellie Potoshnik

Dear Santa

These are the reasons I want to be on the nice list. Reason one is that I do my chores every day. Reason two is that I turn all of my school work in on time. Last, I am nice to the folks at my group.

Reason one I get up and let the dogs out. Then I will feed then check there water. Last, I do the laundry for everyone in the house.

Reason two I turn in all of my math homework in on time. Then I turn in all of my reading. Last, I turn in all of my spelling homework on time.

Reason three is that I help Taylor when he is confused. Then I help Leah when she needs help. Last, I help my whole group when they are confused.

But there was this time where me and Brodie would get in a lot of fights, we are cool now.

This is the conclusion, first I talked about doing my chores everyday. Then I turn in all of my work in on time. Last I am nice to all the people in my group. Santa I hope you put me on the nice list.

Sincerely,

Gunner Magill

Dear santa,

You should put me on the naughty list. I've been bad all year. So bad you would think yep,he's on the list. Well here's why santa.

There was this one time I did my work and now I do my work.

That is why you should put me on the naughty list.

Sincerely,

Jonas Blachly

Dear, santa

I will tell you three reasons why I should be on the nice list. I do my chores when I am asked.I take care of my dog. I pack wood to the house.

Reason#1 why I should be on the nice list because I clear the table at night. I mow the lawn when it needs it. I help my mom around the house.

Reason#2 why I should be on the nice list. I feed my dog and water her. I play with my dog all the time. I let my dog in and out in the morning and night.

Reason#3 why I should be on the nice list. I cut and split wood for the house. I pack it to the house and stake it. I put it in the fire all day.

Yeah but there was one time I kicked my dog because she chased the chickens. But she got over it.

So I do my chores when I am asked. I take care of my dog. And I pack wood to the house.

Sincerely,

Levi Henderson

Dear santa,

My name is Michealle and I am going to tell you some of the reasons that I should be one the nice list. Here are some examples; I am nice,I try to get my homework done, and last I sometimes get along with my brothers.

First, I am nice because I help people by carrying something for them also I could talk to them if they need someone to talk to or even just sit and listen to them. I also play with people if they need someone to play with.

Second, I try to get my homework done if it's not too hard like if I don't understand it I also get it done if I have enough time. Last also if I get it done then I guess I don't have to work on it.

My third reason is that I sometimes get along with my brothers if they aren't arguing with me or if I am in a good mood. Also if I want to get along with them.

Yeah but there was this one time that I might have hit one of my brothers before but at least he forgave me and it was all over.

So those are the reasons that I should be on the nice list.

Sincerely,

Michealle Debord

Dear Santa,

These are three reasons why I deserve to be on your nice list. I did all my chores. I got my homework done. I cook delicious food for my family.

Number one, I do all my chores. I did the laundry. I feed my horses. I do my chores fast and dont cry like my sister.

Number two, I get all my homework done. When I have math I get it done before it's due. I make sure it's done properly. I did this so they were all right.

umber three, I cook delicious food for my family. I cook during weekends. I cook dinner for mom during the week. Sometimes mom teaches me new recipes.

But there was one time I punched my sister in the arm. But this is behind us now. So we should just forget it.

So those are the three reasons I deserve to be on the nice list. I do my chores, I get my homework done, and I cook for my family.

Sincerely,

Peyton Cannon

Dear Santa,

Here are three reasons I deserve to be on the nice list.I helped clean an old woman's house with my friend.I mopped the kitchen by myself but my friend and I mopped the bathroom together.Me and my friend made a bed all nice and neat with the pillows in order and the blankets folded.Then my friend and I started digging and pulled out lots of flower buds.Some were white and others were red.

The second reason I deserve to be on the nice list is I do my chores.I rinse off the dishes and put them in the dishwasher and start it.If it is full when it is done I will take the clean dishes and put them away. I clean my room. I pick up my clothes and put them away and fix my desk area.I clean the cat box, sweep the bathroom and I take out the trash.

The third reason is I play with my brother Hudson. I pick him up and spin him because he likes it. I make him laugh when I play with him. I change his diaper when my mom is busy or I give her a diaper and wipes.

But before I moved here it was just me and my mom after my sister moved away I was upset. My mom and I started getting into fights.Then I told her I hated her but she was only doing what was best for me.So I told her I was sorry and i will always love her.

So I deserve to be on the nice list because I cleaned an old woman's house, I do my chores and I play with my brother.

Sincerely,

Hailynn Miller

Dear Santa,

Here are three reasons I think I should be on your nice list this year. I helped Brian with chores, helped mom clean and I fixed things for dad.

Reason #1 is I helped Brian with his chores. I put Peck back in his bird care and I did the dishes for him.

Reason #2 that I should be on the nice list is that I help my mom. I helped pick up the house. I vacuumed up my messes. I also mopped the kitchen floor.

Reason #3 I think I should be on the nice list is that I helped my dad. I helped my dad fix his computer. I also helped him fix his phone. Another thing I helped him fix was his boat.

Yeah but, I did break one of Brian's plates, refused to fix the boat and clogged the vacuum, but now I'm better.

So, I believe I should be on your nice list because I helped Brian with his chores, I helped my mom clean the house and I fixed things for my dad.

Sincerely,

Taylor Irvin
