Ho, Ho, Ho: The Wholesome, Inappropriate and Wild Requests Mall Santas Have Heard from Kids

Often, what a kid wants for Christmas can tell a lot about their home life and secret wishes. This story comes from a teacher who had an obstinate troublemaker in her class. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get this student to behave in class. One day, this kid came to visit her during recess.

Instead of complaining or being a brat, this kid started to open up to her. He confessed that he was worried Santa wouldn’t give him what he really wanted for Christmas this year. It wasn’t a toy or any other kind of material possession. This kid wanted to be an elf, move to the North Pole, and help Santa make all the presents. This confession made this teacher realize that her troublemaker student had a harder home life than she realized.
