While some children even admit to being naughty, others promise they’ll be nice.

Highlights include a little girl writing a present list for her baby sister’s first Christmas and another asking Santa to take daddy down the chimney with him.

Below is look at some memorable Christmas letters to Santa:

(Editor’s note: Transcribed letters were slightly edited for spelling and grammar)

The “I didn’t really listen to my parents” letter:

“Dear Santa,

I was a bit bad this year, I didn’t really listen to my parents, mostly my mom. I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. I’ll listen to everything she says and do whatever she asks. I really should listen carefully and I admit I’m sorry. Signed, Michelle S.” Fran Veal/AP Photo

The “mommy’s too lazy and take daddy down the chimney with you” letter:

“To Santa, Hello how are you? I’m great. I just wanted you to know what I would like for Christmas. I would like the big LEGO friends house, HB slate (mini iPad), a King Charles Spaniel mixed with a poodle (because I’m allergic), a mouse trap (board game), Cluedo and mommy’s too lazy to write a letter so she would like heating oil and Downfall (board game). If you could get all of this for me and mommy that would be great. Thank you! P.S. Take daddy down the chimney with you.” Fran Veal/AP Photo

The “tell me your age or don’t” letter:

“My Santa list: Dear Santa, my mam says I’ve been good this year. Please may I have an air horn, a Sony Xperia M8, a surprise. I know the Sony Xperia is a big present so I would [be] lucky if I got it. P.S. Thanks for the presents last year. I have a few questions for you to answer back. 1. What are are you? 2. Who’s your favourite reindeer? 3. What age is Mrs. Clause? You don’t have to tell me her age.”

The “I’m writing this for someone else” letter:

For Christmas I would love a real Yorkshire Terrier pup but calm and not hyper. And I would love a DesignaFriend Doll Violet doll please. And in my stocking I would like sweets and a surprise.

Santa, I did not have enough money to buy presents for my parents so please can you give some presents for my mom? She would like (turn over page)….”
