Students in Jill Wigley's second grade class at McIntyre Elementary have been writing letters to Santa, but their wish lists may surprise you.

A few of the students kindly shared their letters with Patch.

We are featuring one student's video essay in each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas. 

Editor's note: they are really cute!

You can see the rest of our pictures from our visit to McIntyre elementary on our Facebook page.
