: Dear Mr. Santa Claus
I Editor’s Note: The follow
ing letter to Santa was written
by Lois Weekes in 1951 for the
San Antonio Express. Lois is
now Mrs. Stuart Beck of
Wichita Falls, Tex., and
mails letters for her own two
little girls, but her letter has
become a favorite with many
people throughout Texas.
Dear Mr. Claus:
I hope you will remember me,
i .....
Santa. It’s been a long time. You’d
have to blow the dust away to look
up my name in your files.
The last time I wrote you, I
spelled bicycle with a K . . . and
I’ve been singing "Jingle Bells” an
octave lower for several seasons
now. My stocking size and my
Christmas list have changed con
siderably . . . and I now recognize
the value of a little mistletoe in the
decor.
It isn’t that I’ve underestimated
you through the years, Mr. C. or
forgotten our relationship. I’ve
been giving your letters to my
father to mail and it’s worked out
beautifully since the Christmas he
inquired as to my knowledge of
your identity. My affirmative an
swer brought a "well, start being
a little nicer to ME then” from
him. And we laughed, and my
mother cried.
I still believe in you, you see, and
I’ve followed your activities each
Yuletide in the nation’s press. I
know you don’t have time to retwl
ala the papers, but December's
headlines . . . lots of them . . . be*
long to you. Annually, you crowd
out the day-by-day boys who fade
from year to year.
Although this is more a delayed
“thank you” for other Christmases
than a suggested shopping list,
there are a few things I’d like
when you rein in the reindeer nt
my house this year.
