Dear Santa

January 3, 1863 cover of Harper's Weekly, one ...

Puhleeze.  Fashion-starved elves?  That's your big Occupy drama?  My teenagers invented the Occupy movement.  They Occupy my living room, they Occupy my refrigerator, they Occupy my computer.  That whole human microphone thing?  They've been doing that for years.

"She's copying me."

"She's copying me."

"Stop it."

"Stop it."

"I hate you."

"I hate you."


It's really annoying.

As for your gift idea.  I sort of think it would be wasted on me.  I'm not really an APP kind of girl.  All I want is to read digital books.  I know that sounds sacrilegious, as I know how much you appreciated the fine holiday sales spirit of St. Steve Jobs.  Likewise, I appreciate that you are a wee ticked off about Amazon trying to undercut your prices, but I think I would be better off with this.

I just read that by the end of 2012, Amazon expects to sell 15-20 million Kindle Fires. So you'll be in good company with a Kindle eReader.

But remember, I was Santa for a day last week and he told me to remind you this ... Only if you're nice :) P.S. And Santa likes coffee with his cookie.

Just think how bad it could be if you had a middle child?

Joanne: I think you're right. Also, I need to be able to read your book!

PA: Don't I know it! I'm the third of three.

Daily letters to Santa?! I'm so behind.

I'm trying not to give in to the Kindle craze. What about a Nook?

I just laughed so loud Boz stopped chewing his bone for two whole seconds. I confess: I think the "human microphone" thing is embarrassing to the movement. And I'm an Occupy sympathizer! But I can't bear it, it's pathetic.

I'm fully aware that makes me a bad person.

Susan: Regarding the Nook; I'm worried Barnes and Nobles is going to go out of business, and then where would my Nook be?
