Carol Burdette
/Waiting For Santa
It was drawing nigh to Christmas and CAROL BURDETTE wanted to be there when Santa arrived this time.
Last year he left her a pullover, a box of tools and a garden fork, with an apologetic note to say if the pullover didn’t fit, he was sorry, but it was a busy time of the year for him.
Carol used block letters this year when she made her Christmas list, a list full of the most delightful feminine things. She only used the box of tools once and that was to knock a nail into the post holding the clothesline, and the post fell down and so did the line.
She gave the garden fork to her boyfriend and he gave it to his father and his father gave it to his office secretary because she’s got a garden and he’s only got a flat.
So, this year Carol is waiting for Santa. If she doesn’t, she might get left with another box of tools and a lawn mower.
