HolidayGreetings 2022 ECHO JOURNAL
On Thanksgiving weekend, my husband and I were lucky enough to have our granddaughter stay with us on her own for the first time. Besides being reminded of just how busy a 3 year old can be, I was also reminded of a toddler’s awe, wonder and innocence when visiting Santa Claus. My granddaughter confidently gave “knucks” to the Grinch, then climbed right up onto Santa’s lap and told him she’d been good and wanted babies with bottles. I was so proud! I can’t wait until she’s older and writes her first letter to Santa. Parents of area second graders have their chance to see their second graders’ letter to Santa in this Holiday Greetings section, a longtime tradition of the Echo Journal. You’ll find letters to Santa Claus written by second-graders at Eagle View Elementary School, Pine River-Backus Elementary School, Nisswa Elementary School, Crosslake Community School and a letter from a second grader at Foothills Christian Academy in Backus. The letters are published as the students wrote them, and we thank the teachers for partnering with us in this holiday project. Enjoy the students’ letters and Merry Christmas to you all!
