LETTERS TO SANTA

Dear Santa:
       My name is Joe Reese. I live in Marlin, Texas.  I would like a little train for Christmas.  My brother Mark wants a radio, and my sister Carolyn wants a record player.
       I hope you find my house.  You can come down the chimney and if you will look on the mantle I will leave you a big red apple.  Please don't forget me.
                    Joe Reese.

Dear Santa Claus:
       I want a Little Miss Echo doll and a red and white buggy and a play house.
       Your friend, Joann Rosas
       I live on 512 Rickelman St.

Dear Santa:
       I am a blonde headed little girl, six years old.  I am in the first grade and enjoy going to school.  For Christmas I want you to bring me Barbie and Ken doll, their car, house, suitcase and some clothes.  Also some fuzzy, red slippers, red sweater, a jingle bracelet, and a purse.  Please do not forget my mother and father and my dog Rags. Bye, bye,
       Love, Monica Rose Smajstria
       201 Bluebonnet St., Marlin

Dear Santa Claus:
       My name is Larry Dale Nutt.  I am only 3 years old and a good boy most of the time.
       When you come to see all the boys and girls would you bring me a firetruck, car and trailer, pickup, digging tractor, bunk beds, and some clothes for my brother Terry and me.
       Please don't forget me!  Also my Mommie and Daddy because they take good care of me.
       Be careful and take care of the reindeer.
       See you soon.
             Larry Dale Nutt

Dear Santa:
       I would like a pair of cowboy boots, western jeans and jacket, a rifle and a real football.  I make my bed every morning and try to be good every day, especially before Christmas.  If you can't make it, we'll still be thankful.  Bye
       David Dewitt Johnson.
       210 Bluebonnet Drive, Marlin.

Dear Santa Claus:
       Please bring me a permanent, a heart-shaped disk, a skirt and a book.  Please help the people in other lands to have and get the things they need and want.  Help everyone to have a merry Christmas.
       Love always,
       Johnnie Ann Cremona

Dear Santa:
       I am six years old.  I want a bike and clothes for my Barbie doll, adn a doll house.  I also want my sister Alice to get a bracelet, and Betty, a dress.  I also want a dress for my mother; for daddy, a white shirt and tie.  Thank you Santa.

Dear Sir:
