Letter FROM Santa Claus

[I'Cin]

From: Santa Claus

I regret to inform you that, effective immediately will no longer serve
the States of Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Kentucky,Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas on Christmas Eve.

Due to the overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was
renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. As part of
thenew and better contract I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies so
keep that in mind.
However, I'm certain that your children will be in good hands with your
local replacement, who happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus. His
side of the family is from the South Pole. He shares my goal of delivering
toys to all the good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences
between us.

Differences such as:
1. There is no danger of the Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba
Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads:
"These toys insured by Smith and Wesson."

2.Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave a
RC cola and pork rinds [or a moon pie] on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't
smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff though, so please have an empty
spit can handy.

3.Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs
instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer
one time, and Blitzen's head now overlooks Bubba's fireplace.

4.You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.." when
Bubba Claus arrives. Instead, you'll hear, "On Earnhardt, on Andretti, on
Elliott and Petty."

5."Ho, Ho, Ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you also are likely
to hear Bubba's elves respond, "I her'd dat!"

6.As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have a
Yosemite Sam safety triangle on the back with the words "Back Off."

7.The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street"
and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your negotiated viewing
area. Instead, you'll see "Boss Hogg Saves Christmas" and "Smokey and the
Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol
cars crashing into each other.

And Finally,

8. Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd make sure you,the
wife, and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put presents
under the tree.

Sincerely Yours,
Santa Claus

Why is everyone picking on poor Blitzen?

[Apropos]

Just fer the record...it was orginally Dunder and Blitzem.

[Tink]

Just fer the record...it was orginally Dunder and Blitzem.

I always heard it was Donder. Never heard that Blitzen used to have an M at the end instead of N. Hmm,

[Apropos]

Long story, short. I was told by my German teacher back in high school about Dunder and Blitzem. So when I had kidlets, I told them too. Thinking I was adding some trivia. My ex (the sperm donor) had a reindeer. So for every Christmas for 18 years, he would point out every single reference of DONNER and BLITZEN. Every book, every card, every newspaper...year after year. So I came across the Snopes article...blew that sucker up to poster size and mailed it to his sorry and WRONG ass. Vindication is mine!!!!

"However, rumors have long persisted that "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" was written not by Moore, but by a different New Yorker of Dutch descent named Henry Livingston — a claim which regained prominence at the end of 2000 when scholar and textual analyst Donald W. Foster published a defense of Livingston as the true author. "
