Editor’s note: Second-grade students at Lincoln-Douglas Elementary School in Freeport have been busy writing letters to Santa Claus this month. The Journal-Standard is publishing a sampling of the letters today.

Dear Santa,

I want a real tablet, one Barbie book, one shirt and one kid’s car for my cousin Jaliyah. How are the reindeer doing? What do they eat? What games are they playing?

Love, Raniyah

Dear Santa,

How are you doing? I would like a doll. I would love an Easy Bake Oven. I would like a car for my brother, Gavin. I would like for my brother Elijah to get an Xbox One. Have a great day.

Love, Miranda

Dear Santa,

Hi Santa. I want to see you. I want a Barbie Dream House. I want a Barbie book. I’d like a pair of socks and my cousin wants a Barbie doll.

Love, Zaniya

Dear Santa,

How are the reindeer doing? I want a snowmobile, please. I want a LeBron James book. I want you to give my mom a necklace with a heart on it.

Sincerely, Payton

Dear Santa,

How are the reindeer and the elves? What is Mrs. Claus doing? I hope I’ve been a good boy so I can get a present. I want a cotton candy maker and a sweater and a Star Wars book. I wish my cousin, Mousie, can get a present, too.

Love, Demari

Dear Santa,

How are the elves? I want one sword and I want a Junie B. Jones book and pajamas and art supplies for my grandma.

Dear Santa,

How are your elves? Well, I want a cupcake maker. Well, this is a bye-bye! Can you get a tablet?

Love, Cherita

Are your reindeer doing good? I would like a yo-yo. Can I have an animal book, please? Can I have a sweatshirt that says LOVE? And could you get Evan a Hot Wheels car?

Love, Lani
