| Personalized Santa Letters For Kids |
I am looking for the lyrics to a xmas song. Its about a boy writing a letter to Santa telling him he doesnt want anything for christmas, all he wants is for Santa to help another girl (i think her name is Sarah or Susie) from being sad… i heard it briefly once and haven’t been able to find it. thanks.
No joke I really wantt to know! I don’t want to bother to send a letter if my moms paying for it. I already just found out that my mom needs an emergancy food box and is enrolled in this thing that helps needy families pay for gifts for children (I can’t wait till January! Obama will get us out of this economy crisis!)

Thank Goodness For these letters!!!
Thank You for those who read my post.
If it had not been for the teacher asking the children to write Santa a letter this “Scum” would not have been caught.
He(Santa) may be fictional, but the letter worked.
“Some of you” could stand to grow up.
This Christmas many of us will have been concerned that this year money isn’t quite in abundance as it has been in previous years and obviously many people will be struggling this Christmas.
Families are especially hard hit at Christmas having to spend more money on food for the rest of the family coming round as well as the plethora of presents, this year though we’ve got the added burden of the credit crunch that has effectively stripped away many people’s safety net: loans and credit cards.
Whilst many banks are taking a much more reserved stance on lending in the past few months most homeowners will also have mortgage repayments to deal with as well as the added Christmas expenses, well apart from one bank’s select few customers that is.
The bank in question was able to give mortgage payment breaks to 500 customers for January with the total being $861,513.25, or $1,700 per household. This is obviously a welcome move by the bank which selects the worthy customers through an essay contest. The funds for the payments had been gathered by staff opting not to have Christmas parties so that those hardest hit by the credit crisis could have a decent holiday season.
The selection process was particularly odd where the company heads wanted to hear their customer’s stories, customers already in the foreclosure process were not selected as winners but instead they opted to choose those with the most compelling stories.
One woman when told that her January payments were being covered began to cry and was able to afford a trip to her eldest son’s graduation in Florida because of the prize. Another winner wrote an interesting letter where he asked the bank to reward a responsible borrower as he had lived within his means, never borrowed irresponsibly and never missed a payment.
Obviously mortgages are a risky expense where they are tied into your home and many people who struggle to meet payments face terrible consequences such as foreclosure sales and evictions. It’s important to make sure you stay on top of your mortgage or remortgage options as not every bank is as generous as the bank mentioned in this article!
He is a figure known the world over, an endorsement for gift giving, the winter holiday season and cookie eating. At times he is called Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas or Kris Kringle and is arguably the most famous heavyset celebrity – well at least to precede Elvis Presley. Yes, he is the loveable, enduring and jolly old chap we call Santa Claus. In 1897 one little girl from Manhattan, at the urging of her father, took it upon herself to ask the New York Sun Newspaper once and for all if the man in the red suit was the real deal.
Countless numbers of letters are written to newspapers all around the world each year, and few if any, will ever see a moment of fame beyond the readership of their respective dailies. However, over a hundred years ago a simple letter comprised of only the words, “I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so”. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?” would go on to become one of the most enduring symbols of North America’s take on Christmas.
One day in September 1897 (historians speculate that the question arose not in December as one might expect, but in September, because this would have been shortly after the new school year had commenced and children would have already been turning their attention to Christmas) young Virginia O’Hanlon approached her father, Dr. Philip O’Hanlon (who worked for a coroner’s office), with the sort of innocence only the very young are able to possess. She likely asked in a small but inquisitive voice if the rumours of her school chums were correct, was Santa Claus fake? Now not knowing for sure how tense the air got in the room at that moment when Mr O’Hanlon’s only child asked him to debunk or concur with the tale of St. Nick, we can only assume that he did not have the heart to break the truth to her himself. And so the letter (and its reply) that would go to become almost as much a symbol of the Christmas season as Santa himself was born.
Off Virginia went to write a letter at her father’s suggestion, which she mailed herself, to the New York Sun newspaper where its answer was assigned to an ex-civil war correspondent turned newspaper editorial writer by the name of Francis Pharcellus Church. Story has it that Mr Church was not exactly jumping for joy at the assignment, but he took the child’s letter back to his desk and proceeded to write one of the most stirring tributes to Christmas that has ever graced the pages of any newspaper.
Perhaps it was the atrocities of war he had witnessed firsthand, perhaps it was his own desire to believe in Father Christmas, or perhaps it was exactly what he would have said had anyone asked him if Santa was real, but that day Francis Church wrote an earnest, dramatic and nearly poetic response to Miss O’Hanlon’s query. In no short terms he assured her that indeed Santa Claus, or at the very least the unshakable spirit and message of Saint Nicholas’s image were as real as anything else on earth.
Though at the time it ran in the New York Sun it was but the seventh editorial on its page, this candid, lively and touching response would go on to find its way into the hearts and Christmases of millions of people, spanning many generations since the 1890s.
In fact both the letter and its answer are reprinted in oodles of newspapers around the globe every year, a modern tribute and testimony to Virginia’s, Francis Church’s and Santa Claus’s contribution to the timeless beauty, wonder and magic of Christmas.
That thing costs a LOT of money. Has anyone found it at a reasonable price? Anyone anyone. That is the one thing she keeps taking about. She even wrote a letter to Santa about it. She is 5.
