Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! I’m Scar, the lion from The Lion King. My hobby is hunting for food and trying to be king. I know I’m bad but I never got a present before, so I’m going to at least try to get on your nice list by being good. But I don’t really know how I’m going to eat because I’m not really a vegetarian. I’m going to try but I know I’m not going to like it. The stuff I want for Christmas is a pet so I can ea…I mean, keep it as a pet. Also, I want a new crown so can you please get me them? Also, I heard about needing to get something for you, I can’t just remember what it is. Wait! Is it milk? Oh, it’s milk and cookies! Well, I don’t really know how to get them, but I will try somehow. It’s going to be hard giving this to you because you live at the North Pole. And this year, please don’t give me coal.
Sincerely,
Scar.

[Marcus Mearon – 4B]

Dear Santa,
I’m Captain Hook from the movie Peter Pan. Santa, can you please forgive me for hitting Peter Pan? I know about everything I’ve been doing wrong so please forgive me. Please don’t keep me on the naughty list. Did you know I was nice when I was young? Did you know I was hurt when I was young, too? I actually had feelings like everyone else. Can you forgive everyone that’s on the naughty list? For once I’m trying to be nice. Give me a new sword, please. Please give me a coffee maker and some other stuff to make the coffee, please, so me and Peter Pan could have a visit with some coffee, please, please! Please give me a boat. I know I’ve been doing bad things and everything, but it’s Christmas time and I need some stuff, please. I need a new phone. Don’t let me down. I know I’ve been fighting everyone and sometimes I’m not that nice of a person but sometimes I’m lonely. I’ll try to find a tree. What is Mrs. Claus doing? I don’t have anyone to cook for me. I need help. Can you bring me an elf?
Sincerely,
Captain Hook.

[Kahlen Letendre – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Scar from the movie The Lion King. I am a Disney villain that pretends to help my brother, but secretly I let him go. For Christmas this year, because I’m a bad lion, I want longer claws and more friends. I think I’m on your naughty list. Can you please take me off the naughty list? I promise not to be mean or bad. Don’t forget to come to my house.
Sincerely,
Scar.

[Kalyn Patenaude-Supernault – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Hades from the movie Hercules. I am a Disney villain who enjoys bossing my slaves around. My favourite hobbies are sabotaging Hercules. This year has been difficult for me because all of my tricks never work out. For Christmas I would like new slaves instead of my old ones. I promise to be good this year. I think I should be on the nice list because I won’t play any tricks on Hercules any more. I hope you have a safe travel.
Sincerely,
Hades.

[Devon Dvornek – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! I am Scar, the mean lion from the Disney movie The Lion King. I have been naughty because I want to be king. I should be king. Not Simba. Please move me to the nice list. I will make a list of presents I want: a crown to rule the world by being king; and a castle to rule the world from inside from. I will leave you a grass cookie and yak milk. I hope you like these.
Sincerely,
Scar.

[Colbie Lamarche – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Maleficent from the movie Maleficent. I am a Disney villain who enjoys laptops and room decorations like posters, bedding and pictures of me, of course. For Christmas this year I would like a laptop to help me rule the entire world [except the North Pole]. I would also like room decorations like new bedding, posters, curtains and a calendar. Could these also be pictures of me? And I want the Xbox because I need it to find games to help me rule the world. I also want new pajamas and new clothing, too, and a TV as well as an Xbox with it. Although I’m sorry I was a bit naughty this year I promise I will do better so please take me off the naughty list and put my name on the nice list.
Sincerely,
Maleficent.

[Callie Calahasen – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! I am Maleficent from the movie Maleficent. I am a Disney character who enjoys purple and ravens, and I like to destroy the castle. I have evil monsters who destroy the warriors. Even though I’ve been naughty, I think I could be nice for a little bit so I could be on the nice list. I hope I can get on the nice list in time for Christmas. For Christmas I would like a new raven, a set of horns and a new purple dress. I hope you get back home safely, Santa.
Sincerely,
Maleficent.

[Dahlia Allan – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Gaston. I am a Disney villain off of Beauty and the Beast. I really want to marry Belle. I want to kill the Beast before the Beast marries Belle. I want to give Belle a ring but she said no! For Christmas can you please give me a magic ring so Belle can marry me? Can you also give me a sword or knife or a magic stick so I can kill the Beast? Can I also have a new slave instead of my other one? Can you please get me off the naughty list? Please! I really want to marry Belle. Can you please put me on the nice list, then I won’t hurt anyone. I’ll give you some cookies if you bring me one or two things I want.
Sincerely,
Gaston.

[Maybelle Halcrow – 4B]

Dear Santa,
I am the Evil Queen. I am from the movie Cinderella. I was on the naughty list and I was bad. I tried to poison Cinderella by giving her a red apple. I said sorry. Can I be on the good list now? For Christmas I want an iPad so I can download magic spells. I also want a makeup kit so I can keep being the most beautiful in all of the land. I would like to see your reindeer.
Sincerely,
The Evil Queen.

[Wynter Chalifoux – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Captain Hook from the movie Peter Pan. I am a Disney villain who enjoys sailing and hoarding bright golden treasure. My favourite hobbies are chasing Peter Pan and trying to capture him. This year has been a difficult year for me because I can’t catch Peter Pan. For Christmas this year I would like a big new alarm clock because the scary alligator ate mine. I would also like a new hand because I lost it fighting Peter. Now I have a shiny metal one! Yuck! These gifts would help me keep track and have a better grip. I have such hard times without them. I feel I need these presents because they will help me to stop yelling at my friends, will tell me what time to wake up at, and my new hand will help me carry things. I have a little habit of letting the alligator eat my alarm clocks. If you put me on the nice list I will not let the alligator eat my alarm clock anymore. I will not chase Peter Pan or yell at my friends anymore, so please put me on the nice list. Don’t forget to come to my little ship.
Sincerely,
Captain Hook.

[Zaida Auger – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Maleficent from the movie Sleeping Beauty. I am a Disney villain who enjoys pinwheels. My hobbies are to trick kids. This year has been difficult for me because the prince saved Aurora from me. For Christmas I would like another pinwheel because mine is almost broken. I would also like a pet raven. I want to train the raven to do stuff for me. The pinwheel would keep me busy because I’m in the house all the time in the winter. I also want the pinwheel to make more clothes. I feel like these gifts will keep me busy and they will keep me so busy that I will stop being mean to Aurora. Maybe I could teach the ravens to go to town and buy groceries for me. Although I was a little naughty this year, I will work on being nicer. Please move me to the nice list.
Sincerely,
Maleficent.

[Georgia Halldorson – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Captain Hook from the movie Peter Pan. I am a Disney villain who enjoys the beautiful island. My favourite hobbies are driving a pirate ship. This year has been a difficult one for me because Peter Pan keeps tricking me. It’s him who should be on the bad list, not me. For Christmas this year I would like a real hand because I’m sick and tired of using this heavy hook. I also want a big strong ship because mine broke already. Take care and have a nice Christmas. Have fun delivering presents. Be careful on the sleigh. I hope you don’t fall off.
Sincerely,
Captain Hook.

Merry Christmas! My name is Maleficent. I am in the movie Sleeping Beauty. I am a Disney villain who enjoys poisoning people like Aurora. I like to trick kids. I didn’t like that the prince saved Aurora from me. For Christmas I would like a new pinwheel. Could you give me a new spell for me to turn into a dragon? A spell that makes me breathe fire? I feel like I need these presents because I want to be more of a villain. Sorry that I was naughty this year. Could you please move me to the nice list? I promise not to be naughty next year. I hope you have a nice Christmas.
Sincerely,
Maleficent.

[Jewel Chalifoux – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is The Hulk from the movie Avengers. My hobbies are smashing things and fighting bad guys. This year has been difficult for me because I always want to smash everything. For Christmas I’d like a new iPhone 8 because I smashed my last phone. Also, I’d like a pet crocodile so it will help me fight crime, and I want an extra large watch because my last one snapped. I hope all these gifts will change my temper, and also help me keep track of time. I hope you put me back on your nice list.
Sincerely,
The Hulk.

[Jordin Peterson – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Captain Hook. I am from the movie Peter Pan. I lost my hook because an alligator bit me. I tried to get it back. I tried to grab my hook back but he bit my other arm. Can you get me a new hook? I want a gold hook and a silver hook and a hand like a gold one but can you paint it a skin colour? I want it to be realistic. Can you take me off the naughty list? I promise I will be good next year and after that and again and again all the time Well, I’ll try. Safe travels. I hope you get to everyone. Arrr!
Sincerely,
Captain Hook.

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Joker from the movies Suicide Squad and Batman. My hobby is laughing like this, “Ha, ha, ha!” I have had a little difficult time this year. Can you pretty please put me on the nice list if I’m not already on it? For Christmas can I please have a new hairdresser because I did something bad to my other hairdresser last year and every other year so now I need another hairdresser. I hope I do not do anything bad to this hairdresser.

Sincerely,
The Joker.

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! My name is Maleficent. I am off the movie Maleficent. I am a Disney villain who enjoys the colour black. I also like to cast spells and curses and I like to fly but my friend stole my wings and that made me mad and me evil. For Christmas I would like a new set of flying magical wings with pretty feathers on them. I would also like a new wand, made out of wood, with one leaf. I also want a black castle to live in. The gifts will help me. The wings will help me to fly again and the castle will give me something to live in instead of a tree. The wand will help me cast good spells. These gifts will help me not to be naughty. Can you please take me off the naughty list? I will be nice and not cast spells and curses and I won’t be bad [hopefully!]. I will make sure to try to be good. Can you please put me on the nice list? I will give you milk and cookies if you please give me one or two things I want.
Sincerely,
Maleficent.

Please take me off the naughty list. I totally won’t be bad again. And don’t wreck my roof when you come for Christmas.
Sincerely,
Captain Hook.

[Morgan Jones – 4B]

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! I am Scar, the mean lion from the movie The Lion King. I want to be king. I don’t like Simba being the king. I want to be king instead.
