Finnegan Begin Again: Dear Margaret

Dear Margaret

Folk tale depiction of Father Christmas riding...

Ho, Ho, HA! You think you've got problems? Try dealing with the occupy movement. I can't walk outside my workshop without tripping over an elf carrying a sign reading, "We are the 99% (of elves forced to wear candy cane tights and felt hats). I know. Their signs are ridiculously long. But at least they don't swear like the reindeer!

Anyway, if you want that, why not just ask for this? It can do so much more. (Besides, you know how naughty Amazon has been.)

Trying to stay jolly,

Santa

Joanne said...: I'm liking this exchange between you and Santa, and I hope we get to see more. If I can put in my two-cents, I do have an eReader and it's nice having a product dedicated pretty much to just that, reading books.

And I thought Amazon's been nice lately?; 12/14/11, 7:48 AM
