Spare a thought for Santa. He gets millions of letters a year to trawl through, with the vast majority of them boring and formulaic along the lines of “Dear Santa can I have an X-Box for Christmas please.”
However from time to time there are little nuggets of genius or hilarity that must surely make the jolly old guy crack a smile. Kids are known for speaking their mind, and are especially forthright when it comes to making requests (or demands), so we here at Bored Panda have decided to make a list of the funniest, frankest and most bizarre Santa Letters kids have ever sent.
Scroll down to check out the list below, and don’t forget to vote for your favourite!

My Mom Is A 4th Grade Teacher. Here's One Of Her Muslim Student's Letters To Santa
I don't know why all these comments were downvoted, so I voted them back up. This girl rocks and it's lovely to see people putting religious biases aside to celebrate the true teachings of their religion - happiness and love towards all. If only everyone thought the way this little girl did.

Here's A Batch Of My Favorite Letters In The Paper This Year. I Don't Cry When I Do My Chores
I'm baffled at all these super expensive wishes. iPad, PS4, Apple watch...Most folks would have to save up for all of this for a whole year where I live. I was a kid in the 80's and I wished for books and lollies... still do actually...
I have three sons. The oldest son always had a pretty normal list, one of my twin sons asked for the most expensive things he could think of and his list would be so long it was ridculous and the other twin would write such a short list I would have to encourage him to make it a little longer. You would think all three had been raised by different parents!
seems al lot of these are from 2013 - like Ryan asking for Santa to stop his sisters bullying https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AwrJ7Jpz9kxaH2sAExBXNyoA;_ylc=X1MDMjc2NjY3OQRfcgMyBGZyA21jYWZlZQRncHJpZANma2tmOVdwclQ2eWRrZnp6R1hQeUFBBG5fcnNsdAMwBG5fc3VnZwMwBG9yaWdpbgNzZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDMARxc3RybAM4MQRxdWVyeQNsZXR0ZXIlMjB0byUyMHNhbnRhJTIwZnJvbSUyMFJ5YW4lMjBmb3IlMjBraWRzJTIwdG8lMjBzdG9wJTIwcGlja2luZyUyMG9uJTIwQW1iZXIEdF9zdG1wAzE1MTQ5OTMyODg-?p=letter+to+santa+from+Ryan+for+kids+to+stop+picking+on+Amber&fr2=sb-top&fr=mcafee&type=C211US0D20160905
