Dear Old Santa Claus: You don't know how glad I am that Christmas is coming soon. I am a little girl 9 years old and live on top of the hill just above Drayton Mill village. I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters, 4 brothers at home and 2 sisters. One of my sisters is married and one of my brothers is done grown and left home . Three of my brothers and one of my sisters and myself go to school. We all like our teacher. I would like for Santa to bring me a little piano and a doll and a little bed for my doll and a tea set and a stove. I guess I can make a table for my tea set. Good-bye Santa, Yours as ever, NELLIE BELLE MOON --- Dear Santa Claus: I want a doll, I want a gold pin, I want a doll-bed and a doll suit, a red one and a bureau, a doll wagon and hat for myself. Since last Christmas DR. DEAN has brought us a little new brother and I hope you will not forget him. Just any little thing will do for him that you could spare, as he is just one week old. Santa I am going to school now, and am in the first grade. Your little friends, FRANCES JEFFERIES, North Church Street. --- Dear Old Santa Claus: I am a little girl 8 years old. I want you to bring me some nice presents Christmas, something you think would be nice for little girls of my age. I would like to get a bracelet, a large doll, one that will go to sleep and some candy and fruit. Dear Santa, I am going to be a good little girl. Your friend, VERDIE ANDERSON, Lockhart. --- Dear Santa Claus: I kissed you last Christmas and I am a good boy and bring me a shoot stopper gun and a drum and a big wagon and a horn and scoot cuttie and a heap of nuts and candy and a pair of gloves, 5 books and Little Red Riden Hood . Bring me some of everything you have got. Kiss Mrs. Santa Claus for me.

Hi Joan: The Santa letters are posted by the wonderful Nancie O'Sullivan who uses her time and talents transcribing these wonderful old newspapers and letters to share with us. Nancie is a blessing always throughout the year and her efforts are hugely appreciated by all of us. I am especially touched by the children's letters that ask for Santa to bring gifts to their younger brothers and sisters or other family members. A child's faith in Santa is so enormous... I was just reading one where the child asked for a piano...hmmm...Santa must have a magic piano shrinking ring or something if he is going to pull that down the chimney! Ho, Ho, Ho!
