freeloader you both call your father (donât worry, he really isnât) will be moving on right after your mother loses her job because of having no way to get to work. Unfortunately, sheâll soon begin a career that she can perform from home and additional half-siblings will be the result. Do not attach yourself to any of them. Make the most of the baseball Iâll be bringing you this year. Your real father was the captain of the Duke University baseball team (enjoying a little Spring Break R&R) and youâve inherited his brains and his talent ten times over. Pursue scholarships, and keep them a secret from your parasitic family. When youâre accepted for a full ride at your fatherâs alma mater, leave these soul-suckers behind and never look back.

Iâm pulling for you,
SANTA
Dear Santa Claus,
All I want for Christmas is a new like I hope the elves at the North Pole know how to make a bike for me. I want it to be blue. Blue is my favorite color. What is your favorite color? I think it is red because that is the color of your suit!
Shannon Riley Murphy says that you are just pretend, but she is always trying to trick me. I wonât let it work this time. Please write back so that I can show her you are real. I believe in you Santa. If there is a bike under the tree on Christmas Day then you really must be real.
I donât need a helmet for the bike. Your friend,
Masato
Dear Masato,
Â
Donât you know that true devotion and belief donât require any physical proof to back them up? Of course thatâs exactly the kind of impossible-to-prove bullshit that leads people to blow themselves up for imaginary virgins and to believe that books written by sadistic desert nomads are the unchallengeable word of God.
In other words, good for you, Masato! If thereâs any advice I could give you it would be donât believe the claptrap that people like Shannon Riley Murphy will try to force-feed you throughout your life. Make âem provide the proof. Of course, you could take that to an extreme. Such as a refusal to believe in the importance of, ohâ¦say, safety helmets. But donât worry. Their importance will be made abundantly clear to you about seven weeks after you receive your beautiful new blue bike.

Enjoy it while you can!
SANTA
Dear Santa,
I was very good this year and now itâs payback time. Here is what you should bring me for Christmas:
⢠a new BMX bike (red or orange, with 4 inch alloy rims)
⢠money (at least $100, in small bills)
⢠snowboard (you know the one I want; itâs the same one I asked for last year that you gave to Steve Alpher across the street by mistake)
⢠Puma glides (black and silver glow strips)
⢠an orange hoodie (not bright orange)
⢠remote control submarine
⢠a guitar (can you also arrange lessons?)
⢠anything else you can think ofâ¦
Thanks Santa. I know youâll deliver this year. Tomas Murnz, 8
P.S. Donât forget: We donât have a chimney, so please use the front door!
Dear Tomas,
Â
Youâre a douche-bag.

Take it from me,
SANTA
Hello Santa,
As Iâm writing this I canât help thinking how dumb the world is. You completely disguised yourself. Living in the coldest place on earth using elves. Tell me, how much do you pay the mafia to keep you quiet? After all, an anagram for Santa is Satan. Hmm. How much would you pay me to be quiet? Just to show you I love you Iâll take a European country, preferably Italy. I might as well rule the mafia too.
Sincerely,
(ME) Soon to be ruler of the earth (or at least Italy)
Â
P.S. You know who I am.
Â
P.P.S. And to all the stupid earth people, think about coal. How do you keep Hells firers running? Coal. So who would have coal? Satan. And who gives out FREE coal (no matter how expensive)? Santa. Think about it.
Obviously,
Faith, 5th
