No Snow Due but Reindeer Are All Set for Journey
A 1946 Wellington telegrams page lists children from Wellington Amarillo Carter Porm and others writing Santa Claus with Christmas wish lists. Requests include dolls, cap guns, bicycles, tricycles, toy trains, dirt bikes, drums, weapons, books, dishes, clothing, and a variety of candy and fruit. The letters show children naming family members and personal requests across Texas towns.
