Dozens of children came to the Homewood Suites in Cheektowaga to leave their Christmas wish lists with Santa. Some kids acknowledge Santa is very busy this time of year.

Tamira Rice, a student of Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center, said, "He asked me if I was a good girl or naughty, I was just like 'I'm a good girl'. And he asked me do I fight with my brother and I said, 'he likes to fight with me'."

The center helps students use spoken words rather than sign language to communicate.
