Santa Responds
Santa Responds: He's Had Enough...and He's Writing Back! | Santa Claus
41 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
Ever wonder what Santa does with all those letters? (And all those cookies?) After a particularly long, cold night staring at nine smelly reindeer butts, the old man lets loose with the real answers to those stupid, whiny, hard-to-read letters from kids. Turns out, we really do get what we deserve. Dear Billy, I know you honestly believe that the good deeds you rattled off represent your behavior for the entire past year rather than the activities that occurred during the two hours leading up to the writing of this letter. Two hours of good behavior hardly justifies a new Playstation, let alone a trip to Disney World!! Your pal, Santa

Bailedbailed

Last read of 2021, kinda. Ended up bailing at 55% because this Santa is a real douche. I liked the premise of a snarky Santa replying to letters from kids. This one started off funny but as you go you realize this Santa is downright cruel and needs to chill out. But this DNF got me a bingo at least so there‘s that. 😅 #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #WrapItUpReadathon #20in4 219 words for #WGWordSearch 257 words for #TreasureHunt

TheAromaofBooks Sad to end on a bummer book, but still a fabulous month!!! 3y

laurieluna @TrishB you can do it! Crack open a bottle of wine and stick some music on. I find once I get going I fly through it. 7y
TrishB @miralunasbooknook it‘s the putting it off that‘s making it worse, I‘m never usually this disorganised but work and home stuff has been very full on and not really had a minute. Haven‘t been near a shop - everything online! 7y
laurieluna @TrishB same here with the online shopping. I hate shops at the time of year! Can you rope the kids in to help? 7y
TrishB @miralunasbooknook I can once I‘ve sorted the packages as there‘s stuff in there for them! It will all be done - I have a free Saturday this week too 😁👍🏻 7y

Chelsibeau I have to do all my wrapping in one day! I‘m going home to NH for Xmas and I ordered everything online and had it sent there 1. So I didn‘t have to travel with it and risk it getting lost at the airport and 2. Because there is no sales tax in NH so when I have it shopped here I don‘t pay any 😃 but that means o only have the 24th to wrap it all. I have NOWHERE near the amount you do though! Good luck! 7y
CAnne Happy wrapping 🎁🎄 7y

So I bought a book sleeve for my Mom for Christmas after seeing so many on Litsy! Is it typical for it to be wider at the bottom? Is there a reason? Mom sews so I'm sure she'll ask.

For those of you who have kids who still write to Santa! I strongly suggest you write to this address :

Santa Claus
North Pole HOH OHO
Canada

Santa always writes back, in whichever language you wrote in.

#giftswapsurvey @teebe Thanks @Robothugs @JacintaMCarter for tagging
1. I like good writing on complex human relationship. It makes me ponder about life 😅
2. Donna Tartt and Yasushi Inoue. They eloquently wrote about human and life the way they saw it
3. Romance, horror, self-help
4. Sci-fi. I have started and I quite like it
5. Madame Bovary. A love mess created by one‘s lust, and then she cried, the husband cried, everybody cried. Just no!

TricksyTails 5- 😂😂😂😂 7y
batsy Thank you for the tag! Since I'm not participating in the swap this time, I thought I'll refrain from the surveys to not get in the way of people who are 😌😊 7y
