Our View explores local children’s letters to Santa in a Season's Greetings preview. Readers glimpse playful hopes and earnest promises, from Hello Kitty and Barbie requests to Xbox dreams, schoolroom mischief, and wishes for world peace and family togetherness.
A personal reminiscence of Christmas in early Texas years. The narrator recalls Santa’s candy, Aunt Pooch in the Lee Brigadiers, a family pine tree, a Japan-made toy piano crushed after Pearl Harbor, a real upright piano from Goggan Brothers, and a doll named Lorraine with a recovering wig. Pine cone crafts, a San Jacinto Elementary project, and a closing note from Wanda Orton, longtime Sun editor.
Jim Finley reflects on Christmas through music and poetry, citing John Lennon’s Happy Christmas and Oh Holy Night, noting military sacrifice and personal memories from Bay City. He recalls his grandson-in-law Cullen Jackson, a Marine, and shares a humorous holiday mishap with a toppled Christmas tree.
