Dear Santa Claus, Dear Aunty Sue,
Dear Uncle George and Grandma, you
Were every kind to send me such
Nice presents, thank you very much.
How did you know I wanted sox
And hankies in a pretty box,
And wool pajamas and a pair
of slippers and new underwear?
Thank you very much for knowing
Just my size, the way I’m growing.
I liked them very much, and thank
You for the lovely savings bank.
Also the scrubbing brush and soap
Were very nice too, and I hope
You had a happy Christmas day.
My toys are swell! Now may I play?
