My final Dark Origins post for 2023 is about the origin of the letters to Santa. I’ve included an extract from one of my manuscripts which includes extracts of historical letters to Santa. Thank you for hosting, Kaye Lynne Booth.
Happy New Year to all my blogging friends.

Hi Priscilla, I hope you are enjoying the festive season. The letters are very emotional and I thought it would be nice to share them, rather than discuss an unrelated topic.
