Letters to Santa carry Christmas wishes and love

The Christmas season can be a magical time for both young children and for those young at heart. For many, one of the gifts of the season is seeing the wonder in children as they approach a magical time in their lives. At Gilbert W. McNeal Elementary, Robert E. Willis Elementary and Lake Manatee K-8, the elementary students crafted their letters to Santa for all of us to enjoy. So here is the East County Observer's annual feature Letters to Santa.
