Ho, ho, and a final ho for good measure,
Yes, you guessed it... it is I Old Santa. And, yes, believe it or not... it's that time of year again. But, all is not jolly! Just the other day I started looking for my list of the naughty and the nice. And, to my chagrin I wasn't able to find it! Fortunately, my head elf Rocko told me about this thing the internet. He said I could collect all the names on the list with it. And, that's why I'm here!
I want to ask all of ya all a lil', tiny favor. Could YOU supply me with a list of the nice uns so as I can send them a letter and remind them to leave out some cookies (ideally chocolate chip) and milk (non-fat, please. It used to taste like water, but now I'm used to it).
Speaking of chocolate chip cookies... can I ask one more favor? Could ya warm them up a bit in the microwave?
Oh, sorry for getting off track... uh, where was I? Oh, yeah... I was wondering if YOU could come up with a list of all your friends, pets, children, parents, grandparents, spouse... you get the drift. See, this way I can have a list to replace the lost one.
And, as thanks, I will send each person on your list a nice letter! And, if you wish, you can include a special note from you!!
Just visit my "letter to Santa" site, below:
Get this... each letter will be sent from my Santa Village in Northern Sweden! Yes, your loved one (or friend, or colleague) will realize it has come from afar. The envelopes, post markings, and stamps are unique to Sweden. And, Mrs. Claus will include a nice gift that is exclusive to Sweden.Now, folks, this is between YOU and ME, okay? For if Ma Claus got wind of this... well, let's just say there wouldn't be any cocoa for a few weeks!
Okay, well, I will let you go for now... we're right smack dab in the middle of preparing the new sleigh... Oooops, that was supposed to be a surprise. I let that cookie out of the bag, eh!
Santa in Sweden!

P.S. In case you haven't heard, I have relocated my MAIN Santa workshop to a nice, secluded village in the Northernmost Sweden.
**HELLO!! It's me here, Mrs. Claus.
Oh, Santa, the old fool he thinks that I'm not on to his doings. Why, I think that collecting names off the internet is a splendid idea! I've, of course, known about the internet for years. Where do you think that I found the neat new outfits for my husband? Be sure to only put out low-fat cookies for him, by the way. Otherwise he won't fit into his Santa clothes much longer (not to speak of him being able to climb down the chimney). No Santa outfit, no Santa, no presents. You get the idea!!
Well, I've better get back to my duties. Talk to you soon! I'm so happy that we can meet like this. The internet - what would we do without it, right?**
