Kids are always full of surprises. You never know what they're going to do or say next.
Whether it's hamming it up – like in this video about trying new cuisines – or making viral dance videos, kids can be a great reminder about the importance of humor.
And when I read what these hilarious kids wrote in their letters to Santa, I actually couldn't stop laughing!
In spite of their adorable handwriting, these kids appear to have some very serious demands. While trying to prove how "good" they've been this year, they unwittingly make it clear that this might not always have been the case.
Some children question Santa's ability to come through. Others beg Santa for magical powers. But all of them remind us of what it's like to be a kid again.
These sure have me wanting to compose my very own letter to Santa this year!
What's the funniest thing you ever asked Santa for? Which of these letters had you laughing the most? Let us know in the comments.

This tech-savvy kid tries to pass his dad off as his own personal secretary. It certainly sounds like a more efficient way for him to get his presents.
"Please text my dad. He has my whole list. I love you.
XOXO, Tennessee."
Kieran, on the other hand, is going big this year by asking Santa to turn him into his favorite superhero. Santa Claus is magical, so it's not totally outside the realm of possibilities.
"Dear Santa,
I want a red cape, a transformer, and a spaceship, climbing shoes.
Love, Kieran"
Other children use their letter as an opportunity to share their favorite rap lyrics. This one in particular doesn't even ask for an actual gift.
"Santa, I just want you to know that I like big butts and I cannot deny. That is what I wanted you to know."
Another option is just writing the entire alphabet. This child didn't have a specific request, but wanted to show Santa that he was acing his schoolwork.
"Dear Santa,
A B C D B E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z."
This kid is being very honest, perhaps to a fault. He really wants Santa to know the full scoop, owning his "naughty" attitude.
"Dear Santa,
I really think I am on the naughty list. I also think I was last year too because you didn't get me a single present. It's that or you're not real. If you're real, please take me off the naughty list and send me the presents (with your name on). If you don't know what they are, ask my mom. I am very sure you have her number. You know I really try my best to stay on the good list. By the way, I like your beard."
Another option is getting to the point with Santa as quickly as possible. This little one is probably an amazing negotiator.
"Dear Santa,
How are you? Well, enough chit-chat. Let's get down to business. This year I want…a big space lego set, some jelly beans, a shark's jacket and hat, an AK47, any nintendo game."
This kid really tries to sell his sweet attitude to Santa, but it doesn't quite hit the mark. In the end, however, he makes a plea for some cold hard cash.
"Dear Santa,
How are your reindeer? If you can not buy what I want, take it easy on your self – just give me tens and ones of money."
One doubting child is on to Santa, demanding proof of his existence. He'll make an excellent lawyer when he grows up.
"What I want for Christmas: a vapor XX hockey stick, a clock radio, Reebok classic RFT leather grade school shirt, real leather sweatpants, breast cancer bracelet, Santa hat.
P.S. Can you give me some pictures of yourself so I can prove to my friend that you are real? Thanks Santa!"
Another child is trying to make the world a better place. Instead of requesting the perfect present, he's thinking of those less fortunate.
"Nothing — just to lighten the sleigh so that other kids can have what they want. But can you give a lot of presents to the unfortunate kids and adults?"
This sweetheart doesn't even celebrate Christmas, but just wanted to send Mr. and Mrs. Claus a kind word. Hopefully, she also gets a load of awesome gifts.
"Dear Santa,
I know that I never wrote you a letter because I don't celebrate Christmas, but I am writing you this one to thank you for giving everyone presents. I want to ask you one thing. Is it true you go all around the world in one night? If you do, can you tell me how you do it? Santa, thank you for spreading happiness around the earth. And say hi to Mrs. Claus from me."
Is there a secret message hidden between the lines? This note might be a little hard for Santa to decipher.
Forget those other gifts, all this child wants is a puppy. Can Santa make her dreams come true?
"Dear Santa,
I don't want all the other nine things on the list I sent to Father (Dad). I only want the puppy. Every time I think about not getting a puppy it makes me sadder and sadder. I just want one little puppy. Just one. All I'm asking is for one little puppy — perhaps a Labrador, German Shepherd, or a Husky.
Thank you if I discover a puppy in a box under a tree.
Love, Emily"
This letter includes a plea for a pony, but using an approach straight out of a mobster movie. I wonder if this child actually got their animal…
"Dear Santa,
You better bring my pony this year. Or there will be consequences."
A very politically-minded letter for such a young child. Perhaps he's also running for President.
"Dear Santa,
Why do all my toys say made in China? I guess you can't abstain from the allure of cheap labor. Oink oink you capitalist pig.
Josh"
The world needs more practical children. I'd be surprised if this child's Christmas wishes weren't answered.
"Dear Santa,
Santa, if you bring presents with batteries — bring batteries."
This kid's taste is a little more adult. Hopefully Santa will wait until Chris is "of age" to honor his requests.
"Dear Santa,
I have been so good this year. Please can I have a PS4, FIFA 14, new guitar, sweeties, world peace, and beer.
Thank you! Chris, age 29. I still believe"
This letter is from a child who's a bit of a grinch. Something tells me that he might be on the "naughty" list this Christmas.
"I HATE YOU AND I HATE CHRISTMAS."
These kids definitely have their own unique method of communicating with Santa. But I'm sure their parents had a blast reading each one.
