All I want for Christmas is...

By JOSH NEWTON

“And a guitar, to play music,” said Werty. “So I can have fun at Christmas.”

Angel Quezada says his sister has a camera, so he wants one, too.

“So I can take pictures of my dogs,” said Angel.

Stella Aldridge is hoping for a unicorn.

“Well, just a little toy one,” she said. “And I like Christmas because it’s fun. My little sister helps me.”

Then there’s Maggie Brewer, another kindergartner from Cherokee, who only wants a Barbie coloring book. For her, Christmas is mostly about seeing family, she says.

“You get to go see your grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins,” said Maggie.

Pre-kindergarten students at Sequoyah Elementary have a big wish list of presents this year. Many girls are hoping for doll houses, Barbies and Teddy bears. For the boys, Guitar Hero, Iron Man, Spiderman and Transformers are popular toys on their lists.

“Elves put the presents in Santa’s bag,” said Clair Bennett.

Students had a brief discussion about whether Santa brings presents to adults. Some said no, and others said he does.

“Santa gives some things to grown-ups,” said Courtney Caforia.

Zane Hendrix pointed out that dads have bigger stockings than others.

“My dad has a bigger stocking, too,” said Zane.

Seamus Richardson doesn’t want to be vague when asking Santa for his Christmas presents.

“We’ve already made our lists for Santa,” he pointed out.
