SECOND GRADE MS. GROETSCH What I think Christmas is all about is being with family and friends, the people that you love the most and care about you. I think Christmas is not about the things you get, it’s all about giving gifts and Christmas cheer!
Love, Greta Dear Santa, In my opinion, I think that Christmas is about family and spending time with your family. I love the gifts that you gave me for all the years, but this year can you give me hunting things?
I love Christmas because I can go sledding and get presents. I can bake cookies and give some to Santa and my family and I get to eat them too! I love to open presents and play snowball fights! I love to build a snow fort and I can see the deer steps that Santa’s deer made! And I can make cupcakes and eat them too! Merry Christmas!
