Perhaps these letters should have stayed next to the fireplace near a plate of cookies. Find a cozy spot next to the tree and enjoy this collection of poems for the holidays. They left Santa wondering if some kids (and grown-ups too!) might rather be on the naughty list!

Santa decided to publish a collection of these letters, for readers to decide, called The Santa Files.

A few samples:

PLEASE READ MY LIST

Though I hate to confess it

I just have to address it:

You don't get me the things that I ask.

Far too often my box

Is filled with new socks

Mr. Kringle-I gave you one task!

So I'm giving you notice

In the hopes that you'll focus

And deliver the things that you've missed.

If you really do care

Please-no underwear.

Just get me the things on my list!

Seasons greetings,

Pallavi
