•' Wait 6 til the FBI reads
this letter to Santa!
With Christmas just around the
cornerf the boys have once again
dictated a letter to Santa Claus.
Following are some excerpts from
their message to the jolly old fellow,
along with some observations on
their thoughts and behavior
Paul, 6, starts his letter by making
sure Santa will be in a good mood
when he reads his letter His
salutation is - Dear Santa Claus, you
are so nice.
Karl, 4, obviously agrees with that

While their methods have been revolutionized from previous hard
and tedious manual tasks to present modern mechanized efficiency,
their role as keepers of the land remains largely unchanged. They
prepare, care for and harvest the foundation of life itself
Now is their season to plan for yet another season of rebirth of the
land As one year ends and another begins, let’s remember these /
keepers of the land and the life-giving meanng they impart to the

Continuing to make sure that he’ll
give dear old Santa a highly favorable
impression, Paul enclosed “a
hundred dollars" which he made all
by himself “It’s so you can buy lots of
hay for your reindeer,” he in

and said. “That’s not a girl, that’s
George Washington.” I'm sure the
IRS and FBI are interested in that
information
Anyway, Paul proceeds to tell
Santa that we moved. We now have a
fireplace “I want you to go down our
chimney, instead of through the
doorway,” the little fellow wrote.
Then comes the long list of what he
wants for Christmas
“I might want a toy flashlight just
like our Dad’s, and bring a lot of
batteries in case we run out of
electricity I'm only going to use it
when it’s dark out.”
Despite the fact that he can make
his own currency, the little fellow
nonetheless asked Santa for some
play money.
“1 go to school,” he continued.
“They have great, great, great, great,
great, great big blocks that are so
large - about that big - that 1 play with
a lot. They are almost as big as the
window
“I lost my four teeth, but the two
on the bottom are growing but they
are still little. The two on top are not
growing.
"I also want some toy trees that
are green but feel like real ones. And
a rollercoaster. And my own hundred
dollars, real ones, for me

flashlight for Karl. And more dollies

“And 1 want that thing with water
and snow in that you shake up and it
has Baby Jesus and Mary and Moses
- no, no that was Joseph That snowy
thing broke, it was cracked a little. I
got it from Santa Claus and Mrs.
Schreiber in my nursery school last
year.
“And I want a real horn that is real
loud, that you can blow softly and
loud. But 1 don’t want anyone else to
blow in it. That’s why I don’t blow
Karl’s horn so much, afraid it might
have germs in it
“Oh yeah, and a toy totem pole, an
awful big one. Big as my great big
blocks that we have at school that
are awful big and large.
“And I want to get a hoop so when I
go like this it goes around on my hips.
A hula hoop. I know how to do it.
“And I want Mom to get a thing
that cuts up food and then she
doesn’t have to do it. Just put some
in, and just wind up to it. And a little
TV for me that I can take to bed with
me and watch in case I’m not tired
and stuff. And I can watch all the
cartoons in the world.
