Santa Claus just got a little bit busier this Christmas after receiving some extra letters - 106 years after they were written.
The letters, written in 1912 and 1913, respectively, were found in the US state of West Virginia.
They were found hidden behind a chimney mantle during renovations to the Beverly Heritage Centre, a history museum built in the town of Beverly.
One of the letters, dated 25 December 1912, was written by Page Woodward, who was then eight years old.
She asked for gifts for her brother, sisters and parents before asking for something for herself, the Charleston Gazette-Mail said.
"Will you please bring these things. For Reginald, an air rifle, a Boy Scout book, a sweater and two magazines, Country Gentleman and Farm Journal.
"For Ruby, black ribbon and pair of stockings.
"For Mabel, two pairs of stockings.
"For Mamma, a book. For Papa, a hat.
"For Teddy (her sister Henrietta's nickname), a game, doll and a lot of candy and nuts.
"For myself, a doll, leggings and lots of candy and nuts," Page wrote.
The letters are on display at the museum until the New Year.
