A letter to
Father Christmas written back in 1925 has been discovered stuffed up a family’s
chimney in Eastbourne.
If you ever
wondered what the must-have toys for kids were almost a century ago, then this
is your answer. Instead of a singing Princess Elsa dolls and Lego Millennium
Falcons, children of the 1920s apparently wanted books, handkerchiefs and, um,
cannons.
The polite
note, which had been placed in an envelope addressed to Father Christmas and
dated 1925, was found by builders who were removing a chimney breast at Emily
Nash’s home in Eshton Road.
It is
signed by one E. Short.
