// 52_Twenty-nine // Waiting for Santy

An open letter to Santa Claus:

 

Dear Santy,

 

I have been a really good boy this year. Just ask my mum, she'll tell you.

 

I have been kind to small animals (apart from wasps and bees which doesn't count) and have helped an old person cross the street almost every day. Does it count if that old person happens to be yourself Santy? Because if it does then you might want to cross out this paragraph.

 

Anyway, the reason I'm writing to you Santy is [a] to wish you, the lovely Mrs Santy and all your little elves a very merry yuletide and [b] to ask for a load of pressies. List is as follows:

 

1 x toy drum kit

1 x pair of roller blades

1 x 100% cotton jumper

1 x box of seashell-shaped chocolates

1 x deep fat frier

An otter

 

That's about it I think. Oh, and world peace. If that helps me get all the presents I want (see above Santy).

 

Thankyou for taking the time to read this letter, I hope you don't mind reimbursing me the cost of postage but frankly living in Lapland in the back of beyond a million miles away from the rest of civilisation may not be a good idea in these days of the rising cost of everything. Maybe you should think about centralizing your operation, or franchising?

 

Like I said, thanks for reading. And if you don't deliver everything on my list be aware of one thing: I'll be waiting for you with a bottle of chloroform and a cloth, so if you don't make good with the pressies I'll knock you the hell out, steal your sack and chuck you out in the street.

 

Thanks Santy!

 

Lots of love n hugs n threats of meaningless violence,

 

Darren

 

Happy Christmas everyone! Have an awesome time :)
