In the year 1911, what would a young Irish girl as Santa for Christmas? We now have the answer: a baby doll, a waterproof jacket, gloves, toffee apple, and a gold penny and a silver sixpence and a long toffee. How do we know this? Because it’s actually from a 100 year old letter to Santa.

While installing central heating into his home in Dublin, Ireland, John Byrne found two letters on a shelf in his chimney dated 1911. The children who wrote the letters were then 10-year-old Hannah Howard and her 7-year-old brother Fred. Amazingly enough, the letters stayed in the fireplace and were only slightly burned!

While this story is cute and inspiring, we don’t condone putting things into your chimney this Christmas.
