Student's Adorable Letter To Santa Has People Chuckling

GLEN BURNIE, MD — It's a tradition for many elementary students to practice their writing skills in the classroom during the holiday season by crafting a letter to Santa. One second grader at Southgate Elementary School in Glen Burnie was brutally honest in her letter to Santa and the school principal just had to share it.

“Dear Santa, I love the gifes you gave me last Chrismas! I’v been a little bad this year attchely I’v been bad at school and at home. I drive my mom crazy sometimes. I am fine if you give me a box of coal. You sould see my report card. I could do a little better and I think you would too! Marry Chrismas.”

When Southgate Elementary School principal Bonnie Myers saw the letter she couldn't help but grin. How adorably truthful was this seven-year-old?

“When I read this little girl’s letter, it just caught my eye and it made me smile, and I wanted to make other people smile,” Myers told WTOP.

The student's letter resonated with adults everywhere.

“At our school, one thing that we really work on is being very reflective and goal-setting and being honest, because we’re not perfect,” Myers said. “I think that we need to take away that it’s OK, because tomorrow’s a new day and we all make mistakes, and sometimes, it’s even good to write down our reflections from time to time.”
