Dear Santa Claus Letters From West Virginia Children
A long folk-art page of Christmas wishes from dozens of children across towns like Adamston Sardis and Lost Creek. Many request dolls, toy wagons, drums, trains, candy, nuts, oranges, and clothing, with heartfelt pleas for Santa to bring pets, sleds, and practical gifts while noting family needs and school reading ties.
