Santa Claus fielded scores of predictable gift requests yesterday during his special phone hotline session in Columbia.
Barbies, American Girl dolls, electronic games and action figures topped many Christmas lists. One girl asked for a zebra-striped blanket and nothing else, said Sarah Bowman, recreation specialist for Columbia Parks and Recreation, which sponsors the Santa Hotline.
But one request especially pulled on heartstrings, standing out among the roughly 315 calls some 20 volunteer elves helped answer at Paquin Tower.
“We had a little girl ask for a mom and dad for Christmas,” Bowman said. “Santa told her he would put extra stuff in his sleigh for her.”
For the most part, though, the requests were lighthearted.
