Grandson Finds His Grandfather’s Old Letter to Santa and Decides to Fulfill the Old Man’s Wish – Story of the Day

While searching for Christmas tree ornaments, Clark discovered his grandfather’s old letter to Santa. The old man had been seven years old when he wrote it, asking for a television set. He didn’t seem to care for presents now, but his teenage grandson decided to surprise him on Christmas morning.

“I’ll go see if the rest of the ornaments are in the attic, Mom,” 15-year-old Clark called out as he walked upstairs and opened the door to the attic. They were putting the tree up, and it was only a few days before Christmas., but somehow, they couldn’t find his mother’s favorite set of ornaments which they used every year.

It wasn’t surprising. Clark lived with his parents, Martha and Josh, and his grandfather, Mike. But their house was built by Mike’s parents, which meant that many generations had lived there already, and there were tons of boxes lying all over the place. They were filled with memories of their family, and sometimes, things got lost in all the storage.

But since they used the same ornaments every year, Clark hoped he wouldn’t have to dig too much in the attic before finding what he was looking for. It was dusty up, and he sneezed several times while searching. Finally, there was an old box with the word “Christmas,” but he frowned after opening it. It had a bunch of old stuff and was not what his mother was looking for.

The teenager decided to search some more. Maybe there was something in there they had all forgotten about in years. An old Santa ornament could work, but something else caught his eye. It was an envelope addressed to Santa in the North Pole, and it read: “From Mike.” It was his grandfather’s old letter to Santa.

“Huh, that’s funny,” Clark muttered, amused. He thought it was cute that his great-grandmother had saved her son’s old letter in one of the boxes, and he decided to open it.

I’m seven years old, and I’ve been good this year, and I want to ask for a television set. It would help my house too, and I want to watch movies with it.

Clark laughed some more and placed the letter in his pocket. He continued looking for his mother’s ornaments until he found them. Then the whole family finished decorating...
