Letters from Santa's
Mr. Santa Claus
North Pole
Up North
Dear Santa Baby,
How's it going in the co-o-o-1
North Pole? We just hope
you're doing better than we
are, for we are very blue, and
so now it's up to you, to make
us feel like new. So therefore
we request that you do your
very best, and bring us what
we need.
First, we both need a new
brain, as Mr. Lewis and his de
bate have completely de
molished ours. And while we
are on the subject of debate,
Jean is in desperate need of a
new debate text. That last
"drop" was about all it could
take.
If this rainy weather is to
continue long, Vivian is going
to need some new red hair. Do
see if you can get some. If you
can bring us these things, dear
Santa, we will only ask for
one thing more, and that is
that our boys can go to state
this spring.
That's all for now Santa, so
have a Merry Christmas.
Love,
Jean and Viv
Dear Santa,
We have decided we want
the same thing for Christmas.
Our Mama's said we were too
young last year for the present
we want, but we think we are
old enough this year. Santa,
could we please have a junior
or a senior boy? Please don't
put them under the Christmas
tree because we want them at
least 5 feet 10. Please don't
throw them down the chimney
either 'cause we don't want
them bruised. Just bring them
an the front door. Don't send
them with diapers 'cause we
want something older. We
would be very happy, Santa
if you would give us one this
Christmas.
Thanks, Santa.
Yours truly,
Donna Petite and Lois
Hamilton
P. S. Merry Christmas to
you and the Mrs.
Dear Santa Claus,
I already have my two front
teeth so I don't have anything
in particular to ask for now.
But I would like to ask for
an electric blanket for my
doll. This Oregon weather is
so different from the weather
in Mississippi that she just

freezes. I wish you could send
my real doll back from Missis
sippi too. I'm sure you would
like him.
The only big thing I want is
a jet airplane. I feel so left
out because all my friends
have one and I have to stay
home every weekend while
they are in South America.
I also want you to bring Mr.
Osborn a new stick with rub
ber sides and bells so he won't
bang the desk so hard. We can
hear him coming with the
bells.
I wish you would bring all
the teachers new pens. Every
six weeks their old pens get so
shaky. You should see the fun
ny letters they make for ones.
Thank you very much,
Faye
Dear Santa,
How are you. I hope you're
not ill. How is Rudolph, and
the others. I have been a good
girl, I think! I've tried awful
ly hard to be good.
Now getting on down to the
hard part, do you know that
adorable Elvis the Pelvis? You
should. Oh don't raise such a
ruckus, I'm only asking for an
Elvis Pelvis teddy-bear. I've al
ways wanted something to put
on my bed, so being as there
are Elvis Pelvis teddy-bears,
I'd like one very much. I'll
even leave you some more
cookies and milk and I'll try
not to leave the sugar and eggs
out this time. And I won't
turn the oven on so high. They
were a little bit too brown
last time.
I'd like to stay up and have
a midnight snack with you but
I get awfully sleepy by 8:00 so
I'd better go on to bed.
I'll leave my stocking on the

door knob because as vou
know we have no chimney. I'm
sorry about that because I for
got to tell you we only have a
wood stove so I'll leave the
door open for you. Well that
all I can say for now. So good
bye.
Love
Liz.
P.S. Don't forget about my
dog, we still have him with
us. I'm sorry about the last
tmp Honest he didn't moan
to tear a hole in your pants
but he's our watchdog. Mama
patched them up well enough
didn't she? I hope so because
its cold enough without an air
conditioner in your pants.
Dear Santa,
I have not been a very good
boy this year, but I would like
something. I would like some
tinkertoys. Please bring my
mommie a mink coat and my
daddy a Cad. Please bring my
sister a teddy bear. Bring my
neighbor Elvis Presley. (It
does not have to be gift wrap
ped.) Bring my dog a bone, my
cat a mouse, and my squirrel
a nut.
Robert Wasner
P. S. Please don't forget my
tinkertoys.
Dear Santa,
Honestly Santa, it seems like
years since last Christmas.
Gosh, wouldn't it be wonderful
if you could come twice a
year?
Santa, remember last year
when I asked you for a little
hot rod for me? I realize now
that I was being very stingy.
This year, Please Santa, would
you mind very much bringing
certain senior boy a big hot
rod? I'm sure he wouldn t
mind what kind it was just as
long as it is one of the new
57's. You sec, he lost his car
by running into a tree. I know
it wasn t his fault, the tree
just moved out in front of him.
You know how that is, don't

you Santa? That isn't asking
for too much is it?
Please Santa, that is all I'm
asking for. I know you won't
let me down this year, will
you?
Here's hoping,

Dear Santa,
Please bring me a '34 Ford
three window coupe, with a
super charged '57 Cadie motor,
Lincoln gears, twin pipes,
knock off spoke wheels, and
two speed rear end. .
Very truly yours,
John Doe
P. S. Bright Red!
Dear Santa Claus,
Would you please bring me
a toy tractor, an electric train.
and a counting machine for
my algebra teacher. I've been
a very well, sort of good
or kir.d of good, anyway
girl.
Your Pal,

Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl ex
cept for when I got into mom
my's powder and spilled it all
over the floor. I did not do
what I was told a few times.
But if you think I should get
something for Christmas,
please send a nice warm coat
for mommy and some cigars
for my daddy and my sister
has been a good girl so please
send her a teddy bear. I want
most of all a dolly that looks
real and wets and crys.
Thank you,
Judy Hannon
P. S. There will be cocoa
and cookies waiting for you.
Dear Santa,
I would like you to do me
a big favor. You see, there's a
good friend of mine who's
name Is Gordon Hall and he's
kind of bashful so he asked me
if I would write to you for
him and these are some of the
things that he would like to
have.
He wants an electric train
a pool table, a poker deck with
! chips, and a pair of
loaded
dice. But most of all he wants
genuine Dick Tracy wrist
radio. Oh, and I almost forgot
he wants a Roy Rogers' gun
and holster set with real cap
guns and real leather holsters.
He's a pretty good egg so
throw in a pair of roller skates
just for kicks.
With love,
Mike

December 7, 1956
Dear Santa,
First I'm going to tell you
of all the good things I've done
this past year. I have been
very good all year long. I
haven't been sassy to my
mother and father and I never
get in any fights with my
brother. I think this is a very
good record especially for me.
Now I will tell you of the
few things I want for Christ
mas. It isn't very much so I
hope I get it.
A 24-inch dancing doll, a
incoln convertible, cream or
baby blue whichever you
have, and a diamond bracelet
like the one at the B and J
jewelry store in Ashland. It
as 24 diamonds, that s not too
many is it?
I could also use a car like a
Chevrolet or Ford for a sec
ond-hand car. I did want a '57
model though.
There are a few more minor
things but if I get these I'll be
very satisfied.
P. S. Don't ftrgel my two
front teeth.
Thank you.
Judy
