- This week, the one and only Santa Claus
asked me to be one of his elves.
(audience cheering) I know you're jealous.
Don't be jealous, don't be jelly.
So I teamed up with Pilot Erasable Friction Pen,
the go-to pen to the "Kelly Clarkson Show"
to help answer a few letters to Santa.
(festive music)
All right.
Well, today's letter is from a very sweet third grader
named Santee.
Her mom secretly sent us her daughter's letter to Santa
and here's just some of what she wrote.
"Dear Santa, you don't have to get me anything this year.
Instead, I want you to buy toys for all the children
who don't have houses and are sick at the hospital.
That's what I want for Christmas this year.
P.S."
Oh, I'm like starting to, I'm gonna start to cry. It's fine.
"P.S. But when you go to Jojo Siwa's house,
will you please tell her that Santee says hi.
I think she's the best and I'm her biggest fan.
Santee's letter to Santa also talked about
some pretty incredible things
that she's doing for her community.
So I asked Santee and her mom to Skype in
and tell us all about it.
But here's the deal.
Santee has no idea that I got the letter
and we've got a pretty big surprise up our sleeve.
So this is gonna be super fun.
I hope she freaks out.
Joe, will you kindly bring them up?
All right, well joining us now from Rochester, New York,
please welcome, eight year old Santee and her mama, Rebecca.
What's up, y'all?
(audience applauding) - Hi Kelly!
- Hi!
- Hello.
Oh my gosh, wherever you are, it is so festive
and I love you guys.
That's beautiful.
- Thank you.
- Well, Santee, and you look so beautiful
in that dress, Santee, oh my gosh.
Well, I hear, Santee, that you were inspired to give back
after a trip to the playground one day.
Can you tell us what happened?
- Well, I saw a little girl in a wheelchair
and she couldn't play with anything.
So I thought all kids in wheelchairs
would like a wheelchair-accessible swing
so they could feel the wind in their hair.
- Oh, that's so kind.
'Cause you saw someone
that couldn't enjoy the swing how it was
and you want it to be wheelchair-accessible, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's so kind
that you weren't just thinking of yourself
playing on the playground.
What did you do next?
- I told my parents and we sold hot cocoa and lemonade
and then can drives to raise the money
to buy the wheelchair-accessible swing.
- Oh my goodness.
You're doing all this to help others.
I just know you're gonna sell enough hot cocoa
to get that wheelchair-accessible swing real soon.
In fact, I've actually been working
with Pilot Friction Pen all week
and they would like to buy some hot cocoa from you.
They'd actually like to buy $5,000 worth.
Would you mind if they bought $5,000 worth of cocoa?
(audience applauding)
- Do you believe that? - She's like, no.
She kind of freaked out.
She was like, "That's a lot of cocoa
I'm gonna have to make."
So, Santee, I have one more surprise.
And this one's just for you, all right?
You don't know this but I've been working
for Santa Claus all week.
He's been really busy so I've been helping him out.
And after seeing the letter that you sent him,
he worked some Christmas magic and he sent me a video
and asked me to play it for you.
Are you ready?
- Yes. - Okay, here it goes.
- Hey, Santee, it's Jojo.
Kelly and Santa told me what a big Jojo fan you are.
And first of all, I want to say that I love you so much.
And second of all, I want to tell you
that I am such a big fan of you.
I am so proud of everything that you're doing.
You're making sure that everyone
gets to enjoy the playground
and I think that that is so awesome and so amazing.
I hope all your Christmas wishes come true.
I love you so much.
And always remember to keep living that dream
like a candy queen.
Peace out.
(audience applauding)
- Jojo Siwa loves you!
Well, you have a great heart and I just want
to give a very, very Merry Christmas shout out
to Pilot Pen for playing elf with me.
Their Friction Erasable pens are the best ones
for your letters to Santa
and creating magical memories all year long.
And a big hug and thank you to Jojo Siwa
for making Santee's dream come true.
Rebecca and Santee, you guys have a very Merry Christmas
and keep on selling that cocoa, okay?
- Thanks, Kelly, you too! - Thank you!
- Absolutely! - Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas, baby girl.
