Christmas is just around the corner and that means Santa and his elves are working extra hard to make everyone’s holiday wishes come true.

In anticipation of the big day, we spoke to local children to find out what they asked Santa for and what they’re most looking forward to.

From opening their dream presents and spending time with family, here’s what pupils from John Logie Baird Primary School told us they're hoping to find in their stocking on Christmas Day.
