A jumble of child wish lists from Sumnerwood students ages ten to eleven. Jennifer, Pamela Sue Nash, Kimberly Macina, Tommy Kidd and others ask for bikes, dolls, a TV game, a gold watch and chain, a race car set, a ten speed, a gun and dog, a stereo, a belt, peg game, stuffed animals, and an electronic detective.
A child writes Santa with a long wish list including a big red wagon, dolls stroller, brass clothes tree, tape recorder, a pony, and a snowsuit. Other children request an Atari game, BMX bike, Star Wars ships, spacemen, a football and helmet, a pull train for a crib, and Fisher Price toys. Several signed notes mention family members and travel plans, with requests phrased in hopeful, festive terms.
