Dear Santa Claus Letters From Frederick Readers
A long string of reader letters to Santa Claus is printed, featuring warm requests from young writers for dolls, trains, gear, clothing, and candy. Many entries specify a child’s name, age, and hometown, with playful remorse for asking for so much and holiday wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
