In today’s instant world of text messages and DMs, kids aren’t exactly known for sending hand-written letters — unless the recipient lives in the North Pole and holds the key to their Christmas wishes.
Come December, kids start writing earnest letters to the big guy in the red suit, assuring him they’ve been “good all year,” “nice to their little sister” and “trying to be good, with no Fs.”
Tampering with mail is a federal offense, but thankfully, due to partnerships with Twisted Tinsel in Key West and the North Pole Postal Service (NPPS), Keys Weekly obtained exclusive access to some of Santa’s mail. Please note, all letters were received and read by Kris Kringle, who kept the originals for his all-important purposes. Though some were lightly edited for clarity or length, we elected in most cases to leave them completely as-is – in all their earnest, heartwarming — and misspelled — glory.
(In reviewing some of the letters, we at the Keys Weekly realized we had lots to learn about today’s hottest toy trends, namely LOL Surprise! Dolls and Mini Brands toys, which appear on multiple wish lists. The LOL dolls are pint-sized plastic people that are sold in opaque packaging to make each doll a surprise until opened. Mini Brands toys are tiny, plastic figurines that look like common household items — a miniature can of Pringles, a tiny box of Frosted Flakes and countless other collectibles.)

It’s Christmas time in Marathon, and with the season comes a deluge of letters at the North Pole filled with holiday requests from kids who have “been good all year” – along with last-minute repentance from self-disclosed members of the Naughty List.
It’s well known that tampering with mail is a federal offense, but thankfully, due to special partnerships with Sweet Savannah’s of the Florida Keys and the North Pole Postal Service (NPPS), Keys Weekly was able to secure exclusive coverage of a couple Keys kids’ Christmas wishes. Please note that all letters were first thoroughly reviewed by Kris Kringle, and though some were lightly edited for clarity or length, we elected in most cases to leave them completely as-is – in all their adorable, heartwarming, Webster’s-dictionary-approved glory.
