by Journey, age 8 from Annapolis, Maryland, asks Santa about matching pajamas, being Maryland’s capital, and the Naval Academy.
Dear Santa, my name is Journey, and I am eight years old. I live in Annapolis, Maryland, where my grandma says our whole town fills up with sailboats every single summer.
Dear Journey, a town filled with that many sailboats deserves a very appreciative flyover, your grandma picked a truly nautical hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Can I get Santa pajamas for the family? My mom wants matching ones for our Christmas Eve photo this year.
Santa themed pajamas are easy to find this time of year, Journey, plenty of festive styles for the whole family to match. Your mom sounds like she has a wonderfully coordinated plan for the photo.
My grandma says Annapolis is the capital of the whole state of Maryland. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, Annapolis serves as Maryland’s capital, an important center of government for the whole state. I always enjoy that steady, well-organized landscape flying in to visit you.
My grandma says Annapolis is home to a really important naval academy. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, the United States Naval Academy calls your city home, training officers for generations. That kind of steady, dedicated service is really something worth honoring.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Journey Whitfield
Annapolis, Maryland
P.S. Will you wear matching pajamas with Mrs. Claus this year?
Only briefly, Journey, my classic suit has served me well without any extra flair.
