Every year The Times-Post publishes a special section of children’s letters to Santa Claus.

This year, in the lead up to Christmas in Pendleton, we decided to talk to residents of Fall Creek Retirement Home and see what they would write in their Santa letter, after the following opening line: Dear Santa I have been good this year. This is what I would like for Christmas.

“Thank you for all the Christmas’ past. This year I want peace and tranquility and for people to get along and enjoy each other’s company rather than being in fear all the time.”
