It's that time of year again when children all over the world try their best to avoid seeing the dreaded coal in their stockings on Christmas morning. If they behave well enough, hopefully they'll get everything they asked Santa for. But first, they need a list — that way, Santa knows exactly what to get them.

This year, we're asking to see your child's handwritten letter to Santa Claus. Whether it's completely outrageous, such as from the kid who asked for a space station, or downright silly, such as from the little girl who requested a bottle of Windex, we want to see it all!

So, what's on your little one's wish list? Simply take a photo of your child's handwritten letter and upload it below. (Your photo may be featured on Patch.)
