Santa Claus Letters Continue to Pour in
A long sequence of Christmas letters from West Virginia and Virginia children dated December 1906 requests toys and gifts for Xmas. Kids name items like dolls, trains, carriages, tool boxes, dolls houses, candy, nuts, and fruit, with a few notes about visiting relatives and early bedtimes. The letters reflect a community tradition of publishing children’s wish lists in The Daily Telegraph.
