Kids' Letters to Santa Show-Ingenuity
One eight-year-old boy enclosed the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle with his note, which said: "Dear Santa: I do not want anything for Christmas, but if you can put this thing together in 10 minutes, I'll give you a present."
Here are some of the samples of a couple hundred letters, ai in childish scrawl and most of them addressed "Santa, North Pole."
Letters to the jolly old fellow in the red suit usually wind up in the dead letter office.
One little eight-year-old girl said she was writing in the interest of her younger sister, "who can't write." "She is a smart girl," the elder child said, "and would like a magic doll for she deserves it. I and my mother will send you the money." The girl signed her mother's name to the letter.
Another little girl, apparently intent on helping her mother around the house, said she wanted an electric iron, a carpet sweeper, a dust pan, a dust rag "and an apron to go with it."
Four neighborhood children and a dog dumped all of their letters into one cover and thus got away with only three cents postage.
The boys wanted the usual things, like kites and marbles. One of them ghost-wrote for the pup, which would, please, "like a rubber bone and some dog candy."
One boy wrote Santa Claus nothing. All he did was enclose a newspaper advertisement for a pair of house slippers.
Another boy asked for nothing, but gave Santa a change of address "in case you haven't looked it up in the phone book."
One girl asked for a doll baby and a cocktail set, and another said she would like "a table fit for three chairs."
One child, who said he was seven,
got confused in addressing his
letter. He addressed the note to him-
self and in the "from" slot he wrote
in a bold hand: "From Mr. Claus,
the Pole."
An unusual letter came from a six-year-old. She made a long list and then an adult apparently took up the task. On the other side of the letter the adult wrote: "Take care of this kid and I will have some cool, clear water for your reindeer." It was signed "Grammy."
