What do you want Santa to put in your stocking this year?

Each week, we’d like you to share your thoughts, anecdotes, views or stories. Last week we asked you: What do you want Santa to put in your stocking this Christmas, and why?

I’d to love to have the keys to a Beetle car stuffed in my stocking. I’m learning to drive and this is the best way to keep me motivated. This will be my reward after a whole lot of hard work. Hope Santa is listening! - Qashish Dhiraj Mehta

I would like Santa to put in our stockings this year lots of care, compassion, concern, empathy, kindness, love, tolerance and understanding for each other. - S. S. Thakur

I would like Santa to put a letter in my stocking that gives me hopes and clues in finding Santa. As everyone knows, Santa actually doesn’t exist [Editor’s note: We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of Santa.] but we all enjoy the festival as we get gifts. But I still know Santa is somewhere hiding and waiting for me to come and meet him. - Priyadarshi Shivanshi

I would like Santa to put lots of peace in the world’s stocking, and lots of happiness to the needy. By grace of God, I have all the things I need for my basic living and want others to be happy and have their wishes fulfilled. - Rachana Bhatter

I would like Santa to give me a peaceful life without worries and diseases this year. A peaceful mind and a healthy body would definitely help me achieve other worldly pleasures. - Vineetha Sasikant

There is a long list of stocking stuffers I want from Santa, but what my heart desires the most is a pastel blue Polaroid camera – you can instantly print your pictures and cherish them forever, without the agony of waiting for weeks and weeks to see prints of your favourite pictures. I love maintaining travel journals in which I write about my trips and vacations. I could use the instant pictures for my travel journal and travel to the places I visited around the world through those pictures. - Khushboo Rathod

I would like Santa to put in my stocking a magic pill that restores health to how it was before. My Amma has been sick for almost five years now. I just hope Santa gives me that pill. - John Austin

Loads of goodies and treats for the kids. - Neethu Catherine George

Make-up and jewellery! - Shalini Pandey
