Leave it to a kid who listens too closely to his parents to get Santa all testy...

(a friend of mine discovered this letter Christmas morning, after her son decided that Santa needed to get fit)



Dear Riley,

As much as I appreciate your concern for my health, and despite your being a very good boy this year, I must express my profound disappointment in the absence of refreshments this Christmas. I also speak for the Reindeer. We need fuel for the long haul tonight, We took a vote and decided your otherwise stellar record was enough to let it go -THIS YEAR. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and really enjoy spending time with your family, who I know loves you very, very much.

Merry Christmas,

Ho, Ho, Ho,

Santa Claus

"Dear Riley

As much as I appreciate your concern for my health, and despite your being a very good boy this year, I must express my profound disappointment in the absence of refreshments this Christmas. I also speak for the Reindeer. We need fuel for the long haul tonight. We took a vote and decided your otherwise stellar record was enough to let it go - this year. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and really enjoy spending time with your family, who I know loves you very very very much.

I agree, the handwriting is not easy to read.
I gather Riley didn't leave any milk and cookies for Santa because he was worried about Santa's weight.
