by Journey, age 8 from Seattle, Washington, asks Santa about the comedic song, Puget Sound, and Seattle’s tech and coffee culture.
Dear Santa, my name is Journey, and I am eight years old. I live in Seattle, Washington, where my dad says a giant space needle towers over our whole city.
Dear Journey, a city with a needle that tall deserves a very high-flying flyover, your dad picked a truly striking hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Does Bob Rivers sing ‘I Am Santa Claus’? My dad says a funny radio host from right here recorded a silly Christmas song.
He does, Journey, that comedic radio personality, well known right in your own city, recorded a playfully funny Christmas tune years ago. Your dad has a good ear for hometown humor.
My dad says Seattle sits along Puget Sound. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, Puget Sound stretches along your city’s edge, an important and beautiful body of water. I always enjoy that glimmering coastline on my way to your rooftop.
My dad says Seattle is known for being a really important center for technology and coffee. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, Seattle has become known worldwide for its technology companies and coffee culture. That kind of creative, hardworking spirit is really something worth admiring.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Journey Halstead
Seattle, Washington
P.S. Will you play his song for the elves this year too?
Already on the workshop playlist, Journey, a good laugh never hurts.
