Dear Santa, ...

Santa Claus gets the "skinny" on what our local children want for Christmas

Staff report

McALESTER — Here is a little taste of what to expect in the News-Capital's Sunday, Dec. 23, edition in "Letters to Santa Claus."

From Mrs. Deana Young's preschool class in Hartshorne:

Dear Santa,

Hi Santa! I want a race track, a REAL hunting 4-wheeler, a ranger boat and a rocket ship.

Love, Wyatt Farve



Dear Santa,

I just need a crown, a dress, a wand, high heels, and a Barbie book. That’s all. Bring a reindeer for my brother.

Love, Presley Ledbetter



Dear Santa,

I want a hockey table, Mario cart, bowling station, and a wrestle man. I will leave you a milk and a cookie since you drink and eat them every day with some cheese.

Love, Malachi Sunagoowie
