For Christmas

For Christmas This Year…

A jolly old elf from the North Pole came to visit Gunston Hall during Plantation Christmas. While he listened to children’s requests as they whispered in his ear, well, Santa’s hearing and, and, what was I saying—oh, yes, Santa’s hearing and memory aren’t what they used to be. So Santa asked the children to write their requests so that Santa could take the information back north and have the IT elves include it in the 2015 Naughty/Nice Database. Here are those requests, mostly unedited, with the names not included to protect Santa/Client anonymity.

Not all Santa's correspondents have

mastered their letter-writing skills,

but they were able to render amazingly

life-like drawings of their wishes.

Santa shouldn't have favorites, but he

especially bonded with this young visitor. It was

almost as though they were related.

 

Before you ask, all Santa would like for Christmas is for children of all ages to learn how to use apostrophes correctly.

And world peace.

Merry Christmas to all,

S. Claus
