I am a little boy eight years old and I go to school. I want you to bring me a big scooter with balloon tires and please don’t forget my daddy and my four uncles who are in the service.

Dear Santa,
I hope I’m not asking for too much in this time of war, but I would like to get a skating doll, a doll house with furniture, and a blackboard.
A little friend,
