Find out what Land O' Lakes area children want for Christmas this year.
Who's been naughty and who's been nice? Land O' Lakes Patch employees got to find out during Traditions on the Green, Dec. 10. Patch employees gave Santa a hand by collecting letters loaded with wishes. From PlayStation 3's and sugar gliders to happiness for all, the desires were both big and small. The letters appear here online so Santa's elves can easily look them up as they stuff the sleigh for that upcoming big ride Dec. 24. Scroll through the gallery to find out just what kids (and a few parents) are asking for this Christmas.
