 Your letters could be "what I want for Christmas letters," or thank you letters to Santa, or other letters appropriate to send to Santa. 
Write as many as you wish.  I wonder which class will write the most?   
    All letters must be legible and show honest effort.
Optional:  Up to ten points of extra credit is available if you write a persuasive letter, convincing Santa that you belong on the "Nice List,"  not on the naughty list.   
                       Only one letter will receive extra credit.
That letter would need to include:
  • A claim
  • Three reasons with details as to why you are indeed NICE!
  • A conclusion.


These letters and other  letters for this fundraiser must be handed in by the end of school on the 19th.
