some years ago, i had two aunts stay over for christmas holidays. they were both in their 70's. my wife and i made them "old fashioned' presents. we got a big chistmas stocking and filled it with nuts, oranges, a sewing kit, small mirror, comb, and other litlle things that would have been in a stocking when they were little. they both immensely enjoyed the stockings and it got them talking about when they were small and the different things they had gotten as gifts. it was a very memorable christmas. bill bowman -----Original Message----- From: Patty Millich <[email protected]> To: cambria rootsweb <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Dec 5, 2011 3:22 pm Subject: [PACAMBRI] Santa letters Dec 10 1915 hese are the letters published in the newspaper with all spelling errors and unctuation errors, etc. anta laus Letters Altoona Mirror, Friday, December 10, 1915 Gallitzin, Pa., Dec. 8, 1915 Dear anta Claus: I m droping you few lines to tell you what I want for christmas.
