Reminiscing about Kilmarnock Christmases past
H
by Mary Lee Johnson
ere it is December 14th and tonight is the
Christmas parade. I always marvel at the
long-range planning that precedes such a
well organized event. Having followed the
Lancaster High School Band from its conception until
now, I feel a sense of pride when I hear them perform.
Now that my neighbor, a LHS senior, plays the trumpet, my pride increases.
The Christmas season is usually one of reflections.
My mind turns to the Christmases following the incorporation of the Town of
Kilmarnock in 1930. Christmas wasn’t
the colorful time that it is now. Electricity had just come into use. There were
no street lights. There was no television
and radio was just beginning. Christmas wasn’t so commercialized. Stores
in town stayed open at night, so staying
open at night at Christmas time was no
exception. Saturday night was the time
when most people came to town.
My Saturday night remembrances prior to Christmas include going to Sargent Brent’s Department store
which was destroyed by the fire of March 1952. It was
on the site of Lipscomb’s Furniture Store, where my
mother’s very good friend worked. She was the wife
of the town’s barber, Harry Dorhman. About a month
before Christmas, Mr. Brent displayed Christmas toys.
Children were allowed to pull the wagons and ride the
tricycles around the store. My brother was reluctant
to leave the tricycle. He cried, but my daddy didn’t
give in. On the second Saturday night, my daddy succumbed to my brother’s tears. My daddy said that he
knew who Santa Claus was, even if my brother didn’t.
There may have been other stores which displayed
toys, but I don’t remember them.
The only Santa Claus in town was the one in Sullivan’s Department Store on the corner of Irvington
Road and Main Street. He was still nodding his head
when the store was torn down. Someone acquired
him so that he would not be destroyed. There were no
artificial Christmas trees. Traditionally, the Christmas
trees were cedar, often cut down by the children of the
household and decorated by them. There
were no lights on them. Ornaments made
of glass and tinsel were used to decorate
the tree. The tree was taken down when
it began to shed.
Children seldom got more than one
toy. Sometimes the toy was to be shared.
One of my friends told of her getting a
doll which was to be shared with her two
sisters. When she told this to her children, they thought she was not telling
the truth.
Yes, Christmas in the newly incorporated Town of
Kilmarnock was a special time of the year. A Santa
Claus from each church congregation appeared to
greet the children with his traditional “Ho, ho, ho,”
and a stocking with an orange, apple and candy.
Yes, Christmas in Kilmarnock in the 1930s was different than today. Christmas decorations, celebrations
and commercialization will continue to change, but
the reason for Christmas, Christ’s birth, was the reason
we celebrated Christmas in Kilmarnock in 1930 and it
continues to be our reason for celebrating Christmas
in Kilmarnock in 2007.
Nonprofit: Cub Scout Pack 250 and Boy Scout Troop 250,
Callao
Gift pick: Help a boy attend summer camp next summer. Cub Pack
250 and Boy Scout Troop 250 will send boys to three summer

nights. Boy Scout camps cost $210 or $260 for one week depending

Letters to Santa
Rappahannock Record • Kilmarnock, VA • December 20, 2007
Dear Santa,
My name is Haley Lewis
and I am 2 years old. I live in
White Stone with my Mommy,
Daddy and kitty. I am getting
my Mommy to write my letter
so you can read it.
This year I’ve been a really
good girl. I would like lots
of toys for Christmas. I love
Sesame Street, especially Elmo,
so any toy with Elmo would
be nice. I also love books and
puzzles so me and grandma
can put them together and read
together. I hope to see you soon
and I promise not to pull your
beard.
Love, Haley Lewis
White Stone, Va.
Dear Santa,
My name is Cheyenne Nance
and I am 6 months old. I would
love it if you could bring me
a Dora doll and maybe some
Dora movies. Can you also
bring Mommy and Daddy
something special?
I will leave you some milk
and cookies.
Love, Cheyenne Nance
Reedville
Dear Santa,
Hi, it’s Pierson Long. I am
really excited about Christmas.
I have been trying to be a good
boy, but it’s very hard. We have
a really pretty tree with lots of
lights. This year for Christmas,
I would like some crayons and
coloring books. I would also
like a truck and a baseball bat
like my brother, but my dad says
I’m too little for big boys bat so
maybe a plastic one and some
balls. Please don’t forget all my
family, friends and teachers at
Y Pre-school. Don’t forget my
brother, Grant cause I like playing with all of his toys.
I hope you have a safe trip.
Love, Pierson Long
21 months old
Taylor’s Creek
P.S. Don’t forget my new
puppy Spice.
Dear Santa,
My name is Jackson Hogge
and I am 5 years old. I live in
Cape May, New Jersey. I have
been a good boy this year and
am so excited for your visit.
This year I have only asked for
a few things. I would like a PSP
with games and movies for my
long drives from New Jersey to
Virginia and I would also like a
WWE wrestling ring with John
Cena and any of the other figures you can bring me. I would
also like some dirt bikes and a
shovel and gloves for the snow.
Please remember, like I told
you at the mall, I will be at my
Mee Mee’s this year in Virginia
for Christmas so please come
there instead of New Jersey.
That was my biggest wish for
Christmas. Mee Mee and I are
going to make you extra cookies
since you are going to have to
come there instead. I hope that
is okay. Please also remember
to be good to my Mommy and
Daddy, my Mee Mee, Poppa
and KK, my Grandpa, Uncle
Bubba, Uncle Justin, Uncle
Shawn, Aunt Ashley, Aunt Tiffany and Aunt Paige as well as
my best buddies Trace, Berekeley and Baby Keega. Also don’t
forget my kitties, Morris and
MoJo and my favorite doggy,
Shadow. Thank you Santa. I
love you!

The Woolard children enjoyed breakfast with Santa at the
White Stone firehouse. From left are Rachel, Elizabeth,
Joshua and Taylor Woolard.
Dear Santa,
Hi! It’s me, Joseph Henry
George. I am now 7 and I am,
as usual, ready for Christmas
this year. It’s been a year since
we saw each other so I have
some things to tell you. I am
in second grade now and have
been pretty good, but I think it
depends on who you ask. You
can ask my grandparents....
I tried to keep my list short
but it just keeps growing so my
parents say its time to tell you
what I want because I know
when I write this I can’t change
my list anymore. Mommy says
that is too stressful for you. So
here it goes. I would like a kids
video camera, Sponge Bob
movie Atlantis Squarepants,
remote parrot that talks, Ninja
Turtle Lair set and pirate ship
with men and whatever else
you may find on your sleigh
for me. And Santa, please don’t
forget my family and friends.
They have all been there for me
and they all deserve something
very special. And Santa, daddy
wrote a list too but mommy
wouldn’t send it to you so I will
leave it on the table with your
milk and cookies.
Have a safe trip and tell
Rudolph and the others that I’ll
have their reindeer food out on
the lawn for them too.
Love,
Joseph Henry George
White Stone, Va.
Dear Santa,
I’m very excited about this
Christmas. I have a feeling
that this is going to be the best
Christmas ever. This year we
have two Christmas trees and
alot to be thankful for. I’ve
been reading your life story
called “The Autobiography of
Santa Claus, as told to by Jeff
Guinn.”
For Christmas I want to get a
silver Playstation 2 video game
system and Guitar Hero 3 legends of Rock with two guitar
controllers and Dance Dance
Revolution for my Mom. I only
want three things for Christmas
and they are Nintendo DS Lite,
Pokemon Diamond Nintendo
DS game, and Pokemon Firered
version Game Boy Advance
game. Christmas is my favorite holiday because it’s the day
that celebrates Jesus’ birthday.
I hope the world has peace and
hungry children are fed. I also
hope any war to stop going on
anywhere.
I hope you’re doing fine and
you have a safe trip on Christmas Eve!
Your grateful friend and
admirer

Dear Santa,
Hello. My name is Elijah
Wayne Dixon and I am 5 years
old. I have tried to be a good
boy this year. For Christmas I
would like a Nintendo DS and
games, Spiderman toys, and
new trucks. Please bring my
sister and me a couple of movies
too. I also need a new TV for
my room. Haley has been good
this year. She wants a new baby
doll (she already has about 20,
but she still wants one). Please
don’t forget my little cousins,
Paige, Trenton and Hunter. I
will leave cookies for you and
carrots for Rudolph. Merry
Christmas! Tell Mrs. Claus
hello for me.
Love,
Elijah Wayne Dixon
Weems, Va.
Dear Santa,
I have tried to be a very good
girl this year. That is hard to do
being 3 years old but I try my
best. I am writing to ask if you
could come to my house one
night early. My Mommy is a
nurse and has to work Christmas
morning so we are celebrating
Christmas on Christmas Eve. I
am also writing to let you know
what is on my Christmas list.
I would like a new baby doll
with a high chair and stroller.
I would also like a keyboard
and anything to do with horses.
I would love to have a real
horse but Mommy and Daddy
say I am too little this year so I
guess I will have to wait. Please
remember my cousins, Haley
and Elijah. They have tried
really hard to be good too. Say
Hi to Mrs. Claus, Rudolph and
all the other reindeer and elves.
Merry Christmas Santa!
Love,
Paige Elizabeth Forrester
Alfonso, Va.
baby brother or sister on the
way and he/she will need some
things to play with just in case
he/she arrives before Christmas.
and Daddy, I love ‘em so much.
Bring them both something
extra special for Christmas,
besides the new baby that is.
Bring lots of goodies to my
Nana and Pop Pop Ashburn,
Granny and Pop Dawson, and
my great grandparents, Ma
Dawson and Nanny and Granddaddy Hearold. Also don’t
forget my Aunt Kimmie, Uncle
Ryan and cousins JamesMichael and Braiden, Aunt
Dada, Uncle “E” and cousins
Mae-Mae and Tay Tay, Aunt
Pie, Aunt EP, my Aunt Shelly
whose husband will be spending this Christmas in Iraq and
please bring him home safely

Mattie and all my great aunts
and uncles. Remember my
Grandma Diane and Grandpa
Cec in East Hampton, New
York, too!
Oh! Before I forget, could
you please leave a few toys for
my Lab Yankee and Dalmatian
Dixie, to play with and don’t
forget my cat Simon, he has
been chewing on the Christmas
ornaments. Thanks!
Well Santa, see you again
next year. Hope you have a
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Your little girl
McKynzi Ryan Dawson
White Stone, Va.
P.S. We will leave some hot
chocolate under the tree to keep
you warm on your trip home.
Dear Santa,
I’ve been extra good this
year. The things I want most
for Christmas is a laptop, and
a Mio pup. I kno the elves are
working very hard this Christmas. How is Mrs. Claus doing?
How is the weather up there? I
hope it is not a foggy Christmas
Eve like on my play at school. I
hope Rudolph isn’t sick like the
one in my play at school. When
you come to my house on
Christmas Eve I hope the cookies taste good. Do you have any
old or new baby reindeer?
Love,
Julianna C. Bush
Merry Christmas!!
Hi Santa!
My name is David Ethan
Parks, but everybody calls me
Ethan. I just turned 2 years old
on December 12. My Mom and
Dad have said I am a very good
boy. I am not really asking for
much for Christmas. I would
love anything with the Wiggles
because I love watching them. I
also like Elmo and Ernie. I love
anything where I can push buttons or that plays music because
I really enjoy dancing.
I hope you have a safe trip
and I will leave cookies out
for you and carrots for your
reindeer. Also, please remember my cousins, my aunts and
uncles, and my grandparents,
and especially my Mom and
Dad. Oh, please don’t forget
my dogs Buster, Parker, Sue
and the girls. Love you Santa!

Dear Santa,
My name is Cayden Bishoff and I am 3 months old. I
don’t need a whole lot this year
because I am still so little, but I
do like to look at all the colorful pictures in books when my
Mommy reads to me, so if you
can bring me some books that
would be great! I would also
like to have an exersaucer to
play in once I can sit up better.
Mommy and Daddy would
like me to have some clothes
because I keep growing out of
everything (I like to eat a lot!).
They say that I am a wonderful
little boy and I try so hard not
to cry, except when I am tired,
which they understand because
I am just a baby. I also try to
make up for the crying by babbling, giving them lots of big,
gummy grins and blowing
bubbles, which seems to make
them laugh a lot.
Please don’t forget to visit my
buddies Mason and Brendan,
Berkeley and Keegan, Ashtyn
and Ellie, Hannah and Kaylen,
Addison, Olivia, Creston and
Ayla and Elle and Harrison,
Don’t forget any of my family
or my kitties either, because
everyone has been good this
year.
I hope you and your reindeer
have a safe trip and don’t get
too cold. Just try to be very
quiet when you come down the
chimney, because loud noises
will wake me up and it is very
hard getting me back to sleep
when I am so tired.
Love,
Cayden Bishoff
Dear Santa,
How are your reindeer doing
at the North Pole? I would like
a pink camera, a Princess bike,
a new puzzle, and a new coloring book because I don’t have
any pages left to color in my
old one. My brother Creston
would like a new tractor and an
Elmo toy. My baby sister Ayla
needs some new pajamas. My
Mommy always likes jewelry
and my Daddy wants a new
golf club. Please don’t forget
my Mimi, Pop, Uncle Luke,
and cousin Jewell.

Dear Santa,
My name is Bianca Nunez.
I have two sisters Alexis and
Sarah, and a brother named
Nicholas. For the past two
years my siblings and I have
been home-schooled and for
the month of December we are
doing everyone of our subjects
with Christmas involved. For
reading we read stories such as
“The Little Drummer Boy” and
“The Origin of St. Nicholas,”
for music we sing Christmas
carols and on Friday mornings
we attend the 9 a.m. Mass at
our church. We decided this
holiday season we would get
completely involved into the
Christmas spirit. Santa, this
year my siblings and I would
love a safe, joyous holiday
season and for God to bless
all those who don’t get to
exerience Christmas with
their family.
Thank you,

Letters to Santa
Hi Santa,
Hi! My name is Sarah. I will
be 2 years old in January. I live
in Fleeton. Mommy tells me I’ve
been a good girl. I’m not asking
for much this year. I would like
a shopping cart to go with the
kitchen set my sister and I have. I
would also like some doll things
and I could use some new clothes.
Mommy said I am going to catch
up with my sister and I will be
wearing her clothes if I keep
growing.
Don’t forget my big sister Jessica. I love her a lot. Please don’t
forget Mommy, Daddy, Maw,
Gan, Nannie, Poppy, Uncle E,
Rachael, Aunt Sis, Uncle Spencer, Austin, Aunt Lynn and Uncle
Todd. They all deserve something
too. I almost forgot my dogs
Ginger and Fleeton. They need a
little present also.
I love you Santa! Please don’t
forget my friend Nora and all my
other friends that have moved
away that were in the playgroup.
Love, Sarah Haynie
Fleeton, Va.
P.S. Snacks will be by the
Christmas tree.
Dear Santa,
Hi! My name is Jessica and I
live in Fleeton. I will be 4 years
old in March. I’ve been a good
girl this year. All I would like for
Christmas is a doll nursery playset
with the stroller, swing, high chair
and some clothes. Mommy said I
could really use some new clothes
because I am growing too fast. I
would also like some of the Crayola stuff too. I like to do paintings
and coloring too.
Please don’t forget my little
sister Sarah. She has been really
good. Also don’t forget my cousin
Austin. He lives in Christiansburg.
We hope to see him on Christmas
too.
Santa, please don’t forget all my
friends in Mrs. Kathy’s preschool
class. We all have been really
good at school. Also, don’t forget
Uncle Todd, Aunt Lynn, Uncle
E, Rachael, Aunt Sis and Uncle
Spencer. Last but not least don’t
forget Mommy, Daddy, Nannie,
Poppy, Maw and Gan along with

They all need something good for
Christmas.

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? I am
fine. This is my first real
Christmas and I plan to have
lots of fun opening my presents this year since I can’t
really remember my last
couple of years. I don’t really
want much this year. Really,
anything that has to do with
trucks, tractors and race cars
will do. I’d also like lots of
movies and toys, especially if
they have my favorite friends
like Mickey Mouse, Wonder
Pets, or Tigger and Pooh.
Hope that you will stop by
my house, I think I’ve been
okay (although if you ask my
Mom at some moments of
the day, she might argue with
me). I’m planning on leaving

Letters to Santa
Dear Santa,
I remember you from last
year! Yep, I had my picture
taken with you and my Mom,
and I look at it all the time. I
just turned 3 years old on Tuesday, the 18th and I am ‘ready’
for you to come to my house. I
have been a good boy really, if
you don’t count all the times I
tried to get out of my car seat,
or how I chase my cat to pull
yard. It would be awesome if
it had a playhouse attached to
it too. Please bring me some
Tonka trucks and a carpenter’s
workshop if there is room in
your sack. Santa, my Mom
works really hard so don’t
forget her or my Granddaddy
and Giggie.
Well Santa, be good to everybody. I haven’t forgotten what
Christmas is really about either.
My favorite book at Giggie’s
house is about all those animals
in the barn with Baby Jesus.
Have a good trip and be good
to all the girls and boys. Don’t
forget my cousins in Louisiana,
Connecticut and Northern Virginia. Also, remember my little
cousin Addison.
Have a good trip. Make it a
white Christmas if you can.

Dear Santa,
I am a new little boy on
your list this year. I am only
7 months old so there isn’t
much on my list. Maybe a few
little toys for a little boy my
age. I like ones that have tags
on them. Please don’t forget
my big sister Riley. She may
play a little rough with me
but I love her very much.
Mommy and Riley are busy
baking cookies so we will
leave some out for you. Also
Santa, please remember those
who are less fortunate than we
are and bring them something
special.
Merry Christmas!
Ashton Lewis Molineaux

Dear Santa,
I only have a couple of
things on my list this year. I
would like a Nintendo DS,
boom box and a Holiday
Barbie. I am trying very hard
to be good but some days
I have a little trouble with
that. I have a new brother this
year so please bring a little
surprise for him as well. He
seems to like the tags on his
toys more than the toy. Also,
Santa please remember those
boys and girls whose Mom
and Dad are in the service.
I think they need something
extra special t his year.
We will leave you some
milk and cookies on the coffee
table. Have a safe trip Santa!

easy.
This Christmas we want

with wrestling. My list includes
the “Money in the Bank” wrestling ring; Johnny Nitro, William Regeal, Jeff Hardy and

anything else you think would
be cool. As for me Jackson,
although my brother chooses
to wrestle me, I am more
interested in Power Rangers. I
would love to have the Power
Rangers robot and any other
Power Ranger things you think
I might like. I also would love
to have anything that has to

because those are fun too.

I am so excited about you

year. For Christmas I would
like some new books, playdough, and a helmet. My
mom and dad say I need a
helmet to ride a bike or a

to bring me a kitchen and
maybe some food to go with
it. My brother and I also love
to play with pots and pans
so that would be great, too.
I get to start school soon so
some new play clothes would
be appreciated. Please don’t
forget my brother, Alex.
Even though he bugs me
sometimes he should still get
one present. Also, my cousin
Ria has been especially good
so please don’t forget about
her, either. Thank you Santa

Also, I could use some new

picture books, too. My sister
Ella has been a good girl, too,
so if you could bring her one
present that would be great. I
hope you can find our house.
We put a lot of lights on it so
you can see it! We will have

I have been very, very good.
I want a Play Station and Baby

Dear Santa,
My name is Taylor Webb and
I will be 9 years old in January.
Mom says I have been a good girl
this year.
There are a few things I would
really like to have. I want the Butterscotch pony, I think she is so
beautiful. I would also like the
Spy Gear car and Tekno Dog and
Pony. I love puppets and putting
on shows, so a puppet theater and
some puppets would be fun. I am
very much into my X-Box games
so I would love any new ones that
you might bring. I am very curious and love learning things, so
anything really cool and educational would be great too!
I have a big family that I love
so please be good to them, especially my sister Megan. Bring my
friend Dawn Ickes something just
as special as she is.
I will leave you those really
good white Oreo cookies like last
year. You and the reindeer seemed
to really like those.

How is Mrs. Claus doing?
Are the reindeer sick? I hope
they are not. How many elves
do you have? Is Rudolph OK?
A couple of years ago I think I
saw Rudolph’s nose at night.
For Christmas this year, I
don’t have a lot of things to ask
for. But the two or three I can
think of are: a Nintendo DS
Dogz game, snow boots that fit,
a Train and Play Rescued Pet,
and a Littlest Pet Shop Paws
Off Electronic Diary.
We are going to have some
cookies out for you and maybe
some carrots for the reindeer.
Have a safe trip and don’t forget
to hook up the reindeer tightly.
Are your workshops in the
physical world or the mental
world—I’d like to know.

Letters to Santa
Rappahannock Record • Kilmarnock, VA • December 20, 2007 • D13
Dear Santa,
My name is Andrew Hill and I
am almost 3 years old. This year I
have gotten good at playing basketball, so mom says I am ready
for a goal to shoot my hoops. I
am only 3 feet tall so I don’t need
a big one yet. My sister, Audras
and I would like a monster truck.
It needs to go really fast. I want a
dirt bike, but mom and dad say I
have to learn to ride my bicycle
with no training wheels. I will
work on that real hard this year.
Maybe you could get your elves
to start on my blue dirt bike for
next year. Mom says she is going
to make me some cookies on
Christmas Eve so I will try to
leave you a few.
Your sweet boy,
Andrew Hill
Kilmarnock, Va.
Dear Santa,
I am in the first grade this year
and I have been a very good student.
Please bring me a new dirt bike
and helmet. I would also like an
EVS chest protector, an ATM
machine, cash register, golf and
bowling game, football throwing
game and a clock radio. You can
bring me some new clothes and
new shoes and a dirt bike lamp.
I would like to have a new
Game Boy DS and an I-Pod too.
My little sister, Karla has been
a good girl this year so bring her
some good stuff too. Please be
good to my teacher and friends
and all my family. I will leave you
a snack to help you get through
the night and some fresh water
for the reindeer.
Karas Smith
Kilmarnock, Va.
Dear Santa,
I am 3 years old and really
excited about seeing you. Please
bring me a real baby and a high
chair and changing table for her.
I need some more clothes and
anything else you bring will be
fine. Please bring something for
my kitties, Flip Flop and Fluffy
and my dog Sassy. They have
been good too.
Be good to my teachers and
friends at the Y pre-school and all
my family.
Karla Grace Smith
Kilmarnock, Va.
Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy this
year. I just wanted to remind you
we moved to Lottsburg this year.
Please stop by my old house to
take Mom-Mom some things,
since she has been extra nice and
good this year.
For Christmas this year I would
like a ton of video games, Superman on Game Cube, the John
Deere tractor with the scoop, and
the new Spiderman web-blaster
with 5 ways to web-blast.
Dear Santa,
I would like to take dance class
like my cousin Kendall and a
basketball and basketball hoop.
I would also like a kitchen set so
I can cook with my mommy and
since I was a really, really good
girl this year, I would also like a
microphone just like my Daddy’s.
Mommy said you don’t have to
bring her anything because she
has the best Christmas presents of
all, Daddy and me.
Love,
Dallas Brooke Walker
3 years old
Lively, Va.
Please don’t forget my GanGan, Daddy, Mr. Jimmy, Miss
Faye, Pachel, Mommy, Nana and
Uncle Scottie, my kitties Sweet
Pea, Yoda, Simba and Mitsy.
Also, don’t forget my big brother,
Ben, in Florida. He is in college
this year so he really needs some
good presents.
I’ll leave milk and cookies for
you. Hope you have a Merry
Christmas.

Dear Santa,
I’m Luke Dooley and I’m
almost 5 years old. I have tried
to be a good boy this year but
it’s hard because, like I said, I’m
almost 5. I hope you will still
come to see me and my sister
McKenna. We will have milk
and cookies for you and plenty
of space for you to leave presents!
My mommy and I sat down
to make a list of what I want
for Christmas. There are some
things she said I could have and
some I can’t have. I think you
should decide. I want a motorcycle, gun, bow and arrow, Christmas 3-wheeler, Sponge Bob
stuff, pillow, tennis shoes, and a
light. I don’t know why everybody laughed at my list. Mom
says I’ll never get a motorcycle
so I’m going to ask my dad.
Please be careful on your
trip and I wanted to tell you to
be sure to come to our house at
night because the hunters aren’t
allowed to hunt after dark. The
reindeer will be safe!
Thanks Santa!

enjoy, you can leave that also.

Top 10 gift
ideas to please
every person
on your list
“To give is to receive,” as the
saying goes. During the holiday season, finding the perfect
gift for each person on your list
can be both the most rewarding,
as well as the most exhausting
experience each and every year.
You spend countless hours
trying to top last year’s gifts and
find the one “perfect” thing that
you know will bring joy and
delight to your loved ones. And
though you might not admit it,
you feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when your gift is
the one that they gush about.
Well, you are not alone.
According to a recent holiday
survey conducted by PersonalShopper.com, the premier
time-saving and one-stop online
personal shopping service, 36
percent of participants surveyed
said they focus their holiday
shopping on trying to pick gifts
based on each person’s interests
or personality that will surprise
or thrill them. It just takes time.
One
smart,
stress-free
approach to finding gifts this
holiday season that will please
every person on your shopping
list is to rely on an online shopping service, such as PersonalShopper.com. This innovative
free service can provide tailored
gift ideas based on the personality and interests of everyone on
your list. You’ll find everything
from the hottest toys to the rare
and hard-to-find gift for your
husband, and even your boss.
The majority of survey participants indicated they were most
likely to purchase learning toys,
dolls, action figures, fragrances
and video games for their young
children and teens. Here are the
top 10 personality based gift
ideas for this holiday season
that will be sure to satisfy most
everyone on your shopping list:
• For the girl who loves dolls,
look for The Amazing McKayla,
or the KidKraft Fashion doll
house.
• For the little race car driver,
look for the Power Wheels
Nascar Racecar Dale Earnhardt
Jr., or the Guidecraft Tilt and
Steer Racer.
• For the young gadgeteer,
look for the Fisher Price Easy
Link Internet Launch Pad, or
the V-Tech Kidizoom Camera.
• For the avid fan of the latest
tween show, look for the High
School Musical 2 DVD, or the
“That’s So Suite Life of Hannah
Montana” Mixed up, Mashed
up Edition DVD.
• For the video gamer, look
for Halo 3; or the Nintendo
Wii.
• For the future fashionista,
look for the “L” a L.A.M.B.
fragrance by Gwen Stefani, or
a soft fedora or newsboy cap
from Roxy.
• For the music lover and
movie buff, look for the New
Apple iPod, or the Altec Lansing inMotion iM5 Portable
Audio System for iPod.
• For the sports fanatic, look
for the EA Sports’ Madden ‘08,
or the The Cleveland Hi-bore
driver and irons.
• For the fashion trendsetter,
look for the the ultimate “it”
handbag by Maxx New York,
or a sassy coat from designers mac & jac or Adrienne
Landau.
• For the tech-savvy wizard,
look for the Canon SD1000
digital camera, or the Garmin
nüvi GPS navigation system.
Chase as he has been bad and gets
in trouble at home, but I love him
a lot.
That’s all for now Santa. Tell
everyone at the North Pole Hi
and hopefully next year I will
be ready to see you.
Love,

Hello again! My name is

I am trying to be a good girl
this year. Trying!
For Christmas this year I
would like a Wii and some

jar (to count all my change),
and a world map. Oh, and a
case for my DVD player, a CD
player with the High School
Musical CD and last, clothes.
And don’t forget my pop pop.
I will leave you some cookies and milk. And the reindeer
some carrots. See you soon!!!
Love,
