by Maisie, age 7 from East Aurora, New York, asks Santa about small toy figures, the village near Buffalo, and its century-old toy company.
Dear Santa, my name is Maisie, and I am seven years old. I live in East Aurora, New York, where my mom says a really famous toy company has made toys right here in our small village for a very long time.
Dear Maisie, a village that has made toys for so many children deserves a very special flyover, your mom picked a truly playful hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is there a Little People Santa? My little brother has a whole set with tiny figures and wants one shaped like you.
There certainly are small, chunky toy figures shaped like me out there, Maisie, perfect for tiny hands to hold. Your little brother sounds like he has a wonderful collection already started.
My mom says East Aurora is a small village not too far from Buffalo. Is that true?
It is true, Maisie, your village sits just a short trip from Buffalo, tucked into the countryside. I always enjoy that cozy, small-town landscape on my way to your rooftop.
My mom says the toy company here has been making toys for children for over a hundred years. Is that true?
It is true, Maisie, that toy company has brought joy to children for well over a century, right from your very own village. That kind of long lasting, playful tradition is really something worth celebrating.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Maisie Coyle
East Aurora, New York
P.S. Will you bring my brother a new figure for his set?
Already wrapped, Maisie, a growing collection deserves a proper new addition.
