This letter was found misplaced behind some desk somewhere. It appears to have been sent in the early 1960s or later.
Dear Santa,
I would like ‘some’*** of my presents delivered to me in the Future, please.
May I have the following things then
1] I don’t know what it is yet, but my mom doesn’t like it. She is funny about it when she talks to dad. She says stuff about Ray too. Anyway, in the Future can I have a microwave that doesn’t beep so loud. Every button you press should not beep.
2] Cam I have a Blue Tooth Hearing thing that does not shout out loud every time you turn it on. Or, if that model is not available, can I have the one that is, at a minimum, somehow controllable to turn the thing down. I do not want the shout it out loud every day and night all day and all night long too.
3] That is all I can think of in advance for then, but I will keep this list updated. Oh, I also heard Dad talking about moving soon. My address might not be the same as this one now and then. I don’t know.
I will continue this list later for the stuff I would very much want today.
Thank You Santa
This is a lovely story. Who doesn’t miss Thanksgiving with parents they loved? Thanks for sharing this, Claudia.
This is a beautiful tale.
Thank you, @Marco and @bitlife….
