I Wrote It, You Read It

Early 1920s Dear Santa, Ive been good. Can you bring me a doll? That is all I want. Thanks, Nannie --------------------------------------- Early Christmas 1930s I am grown up now. I dont need a doll anymore. I need socks and a scarf. Thanks., your friend, Nannie ---------------------------------------- Christmas Day , 1944 Well I got my doll a real baby! She cries and wets. She has blue eyes and blonde hair. Thank You Jesus for sharing Your birthday with her, her name is Mary Elizabeth. Thanks again. ------------------------------------------ Christmas, 1963 Jesus, my little girl wants to go far away and stay. She wants to be Your bride! This is a hard thing for me to understand, but I must. Take care of my baby, Mary. As always, Nan --------------------------------------- Christmas 1964 No longer a little girl, all grown up with a new name, Sr. Mary Noel, a pretty name for someone who was born on Christmas day. Shes happy now and so am I.
