by Journey, age 9 from Anaheim, California, asks Santa about historical figurines, Orange County, and the city’s growth from orange groves.
Dear Santa, my name is Journey, and I am nine years old. I live in Anaheim, California, where my mom says a really famous amusement park sits right in the middle of our city.
Dear Journey, a city with a park that famous deserves a very cheerful flyover, your mom picked a truly magical hometown.
Santa, I have three questions.
Is there a Duncan Royale Santa? My grandma collects figurines showing your history through the ages.
There certainly is, Journey, that particular company crafts a whole beautiful collection tracing my history across different cultures and centuries. Your grandma’s collection sounds like it holds a real little treasure trove.
My mom says Anaheim sits in Orange County, close to the Pacific Ocean. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, Anaheim rests in Orange County, not far from the glimmering Pacific coastline. I always enjoy that sunny, well-placed landscape flying in to visit you.
My mom says Anaheim grew from small orange groves into a major city. Is that true?
It is true, Journey, Anaheim grew from modest orange groves into a bustling city over the last century. That kind of steady, ambitious growth is really something worth admiring.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Your friend,
Journey Alvarado
Anaheim, California
P.S. Will you bring my grandma a new figurine for her collection this year?
Already wrapped, Journey, a growing collection deserves a proper new addition.
