Each year, letters children write to Santa pour into schools, newspaper staff rooms, department stores, post offices and countless other establishments. A review of these letters from across the U.S. makes one thing clear: many kids hope Santa will bring them a dinosaur.

Below are just a few examples.

From the kindergarten class at Big Spring Lake School, in Albertville, Alabama, as published by The Sand Mountain Reporter:

Dear Santa, I have been good this year. All I want for Christmas is a big dinosaur. I will leave you cookies and milk. Love, Ethan B.

Dear Santa, I have been pretty good this year. I would like you to bring me a bike, a scooter, a movie about dinosaurs, some toys, and some clothes. My twin sister Jeni would like a necklace, a bracelet, some clothes, and some dolls. We will leave you milk and cookies and a carrot for Rudolph. I love you Santa. Love, Ritchie M.

Dear Santa, I have been a good boy. I would like to have the following for Christmas. Spike the Dinosaur, D-Rex, Buzz Light Year, Screecher, Wii Sports Resort, Stunt Psycho, Mario Super Brothers, Clone Commander Helmet and gun, Indiana Jones the Adventure Continues, Razor Pocket Rocket, and Air Hogs Helicopter. Love, Drew

Sent to a Columbus, Ohio, post office:

"I want a pet dinosaur named..."

(Note: the post office redacted the name, but suggested that it was a Brontosaurus.)

From the Dayton Daily News:

"I would like to have Spike, the dinosaur. I want a telescope, A Wii radio, and Whoopi Doo.”

From Jolene Trappe's Third Grade Class in Frazee, Minnesota:

Dear Santa,

Were you ever late for Chrismas? How many people are in the world? How many toys do the elves have to make each year? Thank you Santa, for all the presents you gave me in the past. The present I want for Chrismas are world of zoo for ds, Dinosaur king for ds, and 100 dollars Brock R.

Sent to KPC News:

My brother wants a dinosaur car that bites. We have two stars on our tree. We will give you some cookies and milk. We don’t have a chimney. Say hi to Mrs. Clause for me.

Love,

Maddie and Tyler H.

From Adam in Attleboro, Massachusetts:

"I told Santa I want a Matchbox dinosaur set and dinosaur bones and I like candy a lot."

And Adam gets points for quick thinking too. While sitting on Santa's lap, he was asked if he's been a good boy this year.

"I told him I was trying to be good," Adam said.

Here's hoping all of your dinosaur and other wishes come true this holiday season.
