HO!! Ho!! ho!! Billyjoebob!!

Thank you for sending me your email all the way from Preston! Did you know that Preston is one of Mrs. Claus' favourite places? The other thing she really likes is to read all your wonderful emails. As a matter of fact, she was just asking if I had heard from you lately! By the way, Rudolph just told me that the Boomers are all ready and excited to pull the sleigh over Australia.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Billyjoebob! Are you fibbing to ol' Santa Claus?!? You can't possibly be 28 years old already! Why it seems like only yesterday that I was leaving presents for a certain little boy and here you are now, practically one of Santa's elves! (*grin*)

Sorry the presents the last little while probably haven't been quite as exciting as they were when you were a little boy but, well, you know how these things go (*wink*). Anyway, Santa's glad to see some of the 'older kids' (not to mention anyone in particular!) still take the time to write. I also hear you've been a sorta good boy. (Of course, you won't mind if I do a little checking, will you? HO!! Ho!! ho!!).

Let's see what you put in your letter for Christmas wishes: 1. grand theft auto : vice city; 2. sizeable collection of pornography and; 3. cornucopia of fine wines. The elves really like making those presents so I know they'll be happy to hear that's what you want. Of course, there are a lot of good boys and girls in the world and only so many presents so I hope you won't be too upset with me if you don't get everything you asked for this Christmas.

Oh! oh! The Grinch is trying to steal some of Mrs. Claus' cookies! That Grinch sure is funny. He may not like Christmas, but he sure likes those cookies! Well, I better go stop him before he steals them all. Take care Billyjoebob and don't forget to listen for me Christmas Eve!! And remember... only 22 more sleeps until Christmas!!

Yours truly,
