Scholastic: What has been the most unusual thing they've asked you for this year? They must not all ask just for trucks and dolls. Santa: I don't think anyone's asked me for anything un usual except for the teen-age girls who come in and ask for boyfriends and new Mustangs and stuff like that. But the kids . . . they all want the same things, they all want the same toys. And the thing that's bad is that there's a lot of kids that come in and they don't really want any thing. They say, "I've got it." Their mom says, "Do you want to go up and see Santa?," and they say, "No!" The mother says, "Why not?," and they say, "I've already got enough toys. I don't want anymore." Scholastic: Are all the kids polite? Santa: I remember a girl named Connie that talked to me for fifteen minutes. She said, "My mommie said this, my mommie said that." She said, "My mommie called you an 'apple.' " But it wasn't an "apple" she meant. Scholastic: Something else? Santa: Ha Ha. Yeah. It was pretty funny.

Santa: Yes, this is my first year in a department store. Santa: It's fine. It gets a little tiring here at times, when I've done parties. there're no kids to talk to. One or two of the little kids that Scholastic: Oh yeah? How do you like it? Santa: It's all right. Scholastic: What do you think of the kids. How do they treat you? Do they pull your beard? Santa: Some of them do. Each one's different. Scholastic: What's the age of most of the kids that come to see you? Santa: Between two and ten. Scholastic: Ten years old even? Santa: Oh, yeah. They stop believing but they stiU come just because they want a baUoon, you know. Scholastic: Do you find kids who don't believe in you? Santa: Well, 80 percent of them don't believe. Scholastic: 80 percent of them? Santa: Just the little ones who can't talk. They're the only ones who still believe. After they have learned to talk, they talk it over and they don't believe. Scholastic: What kind of thing do they usually ask you for? Santa: Most of the girls want an easy-bake oven or a doU and the boys want a truck or a gun. A lot of times they ask for brand names. I remember one girl who came in with a 26-page letter. She was about eight years old. "Only one page," she says, "is for my brother." Another one had 16 ONLY come up here, it's pretty sad. This one girl came up here, she was blind and deaf, tier father came up and asked if she could talk to Santa Claus. So I held out my hand so she could say something then she put her hand in it, that's the only way she could communicate with me. She asked to feel my beard. That sort of tears you up. And then I had another little girl that came up and didn't have either hand. Both hands were gone. She just had hooks on them. She picked up the candy cane I gave her with them. Oh, and I got a letter addressed to Santa Claus and his reindeer from a little boy named Kenny. Kenny was about 6 or 7 years old and he wrote out a nice little note. He printed it himself because there were quite a few words misspelled. He wanted to know how Rudolph was, and where we kept him, and he put down his whole list of gifts he'd like for Christmas and at the end he said he's save me something and he said, "I love you Santa Claus." He signed it, "Kenny." So I took that home and framed it. Scholastic: How old are the children that come to see you ? Santa: They come up to about ten. Scholastic: How many kids still believe in Santa Claus? Santa: Well, I had an incident just yesterday where the father came back after 1 talked to his son and he said.

But when they get up to about 8, 9, or 10 years old, they're just going along with it to see if they can get a piece of candy. Scholastic: Do any of them ever tell you, they don't be lieve, or do you just sense it ? Santa: Well, you can just sort of tell. They walk up and they stand real close to the candy there and the ones who don't believe always have a real short list. The ones who do believe in Santa Claus have a list about a mile and a half long that couldn't even be fiUed by Marshall Field's in Chicago. Scholastic: What is the longest list you've ever gotten? Santa: I think that was from Kenny. That had about 15 items on it. At the end it said, "I better not ask for any more; so you just bring me what you want." Scholastic: Have you ever had any nasty incidents? Santa: Oh, I've had a couple of the older boys about 14 or 15 years old come up and they just ask for wise things, like, "I want a new girlfriend that's really cool." But I just said, "Well, I'm for the little kids, why don't you just move on?" Scholastic: Thank you very much, Santa. Santa: You're welcome.
