I got my winter wishes letter

I'm so excited I got a 9 year old girl this year who asked for a doll and even drew a picture in her letter. So cute. Last year I got a 5 year old boy who wanted Thomas the train toys. Shopping for a girl is much more fun for me.

Anyone else get their letter yet? What did they ask for?

One boy asked for wrestling toys. The other asked for a remote control car, Spiderman toys, and then he asked for a big remote control car. So cute!

I got an 11 year old boy asking for PSP game. The letter wasn't even written by him. Not fun at all!

Last year I got an adorable full page letter from a little girl asking for Bratz dolls.

I got my two letters last week - 3 yr old girl and a 3 yr old boy. The letters were super cute! I'm hoping to purchase everything this week and send it on its way.

I adopted a child through WBLI and it's heartbreaking. Their kids come from a local homeless shelter. I got a 6 month old boy and all that was requested was clothes.Chat Icon

This year I got form letters again. Sort of disappointing, I wish they drew pictures on them and such that is so much more fun. Both were from the same Salvation Army center in the Bronx so I wonder if they just hand out form letters for the kids to fill in all the info.

One was a 12 year old girl asking for an ipod or a digital camera, and the other was a mother asking for leapfrog games for her 3 year old son and she traced the boy's hand on the paper.

Re: I got my winter wishes letter

i just adopted a local family through my middle school, its the best feeling, isnt it? I couldnt imagine, now that I have a son, him waking up on christmas morning and having NO gifts, that would break my heart as a mother. Im more than happy to help them out.

I got a 6th grade girl and a 9th grade boy, with the most MODEST lists, that I bought them extra stuff.
