You better watch out, you better not...what?! Laugh it up with Santa as he shares some of his funniest (and oddest) letters from children sent straight to the North Pole!
Perhaps these letters should have stayed next to the fireplace near a plate of cookies. Find a cozy spot next to the tree and enjoy this collection of poems for the holidays. They left Santa wondering if some kids (and grown-ups too!) might rather be on the naughty list!
Santa decided to publish a collection of these letters, for readers to decide, called The Santa Files.
A few samples:
PLEASE READ MY LIST
Though I hate to confess it
I just have to address it:
You don't get me the things that I ask.
Far too often my box
Is filled with new socks
Mr. Kringle-I gave you one task!
So I'm giving you notice
In the hopes that you'll focus
And deliver the things that you've missed.
If you really do care
Please-no underwear.
Just get me the things on my list!
Seasons greetings,
Pallavi
