| Summary | "Telephoning to Santa Claus" by John D. MacDonald is a charming dialogue play intended for children, written in the early 20th century. This short script is designed for two young girls, typically aged ten to twelve, and revolves around the whimsical idea of communicating with Santa Claus via telephone on Christmas Eve. The play captures the innocent excitement and anticipation of the holiday season, centered around the theme of children reaching out to Santa with their wishes. In the play, two girls, Esther and Mabel, excitedly discuss the possibility of telephoning Santa Claus to let him know what they want for Christmas. They imagine a scenario where they contact "Mrs. Santa Claus," sharing their desires for a muff, skates, and candy canes. As they go back and forth in their conversation, they engage in playful antics with their make-believe phone setup, ultimately bringing their wishes to life as the beloved items magically appear. The light-hearted narrative celebrates childhood wonder and the spirit of Christmas, effectively inviting audiences to indulge in the delightful innocence and imaginative nature of young minds during this festive season.
