It's that time of the year again when our kids are writing their dream wish lists to Santa. Some tots ask the big guy for a few simple things while others go for broke, but when it comes to children and their letter-writing skills, there will always be a few laughs mixed in as well. So, here are some hilarious and heartwarming notes that these awesome kiddos penned for Santa Claus.
