Merry Christmas Mark!

Hello Mark!!

Thank you for sending me your email all the way from Centre Hall! The Net sure is wonderful because now I never feel lonely all the way up at the North Pole. An email from you, Mark, sure makes my day!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Mark! Are you fibbing to ol’ Santa Claus?!? You can’t possibly be 43 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 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. Set of 6, Spiegelau Vino Grande Chardonnay Wine Glasses
  2. Silpat baking sheet
  3. Set of two individual 12-ounce souffle dishes or two of these larger 16-ounce souffle dishes
  4. The Way to Cook by Julia Child
  5. Cardigan Sweater
  6. Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
  7. The Best of James Taylor

HO!! Ho!! ho!! That’s exactly what I thought you might like! I’m thinking of putting some of those on my wish list too! Of course, I never get everything I have on my wish list — but then again, it wouldn’t be much fun if I always got everything I asked for. Then there would never be any surprise!

Oops! I guess I shouldn’t have had that last cookie because another button just popped right off my suit! I better go see if Mrs. Claus has any thread left! ho!! Ho!! HO!! Take care Mark and don’t forget to listen for me Christmas Eve!! And remember… only 35 more sleeps until Christmas!!

Have a very Merry Christmas,

P.S. The reindeer say “Thank You!” for the nice treats! I hope you don’t mind, but I had a bit of carrot and celery too. After all, even Santa eats his veggies! (*wink*)
