Many of us likely remember writing a letter to Santa Claus in the days of ouryouth — a checklist of the things we most wanted to find wrapped up with a bow on Christmas morning. Small town newspapers often publish Christmas lists that elementary school-aged children send in. It's always fun to see the diversity of wishes in those lists. Some kids will have a list with one really important and expensive item, while others will ask for 15 different lower cost things. Some dream big, while others are more practical.
