Dear Santa,

You have made me very wary of you and even a bit frightened.  
Was that a toy in your pocket when I sat on your lap or were you just happy to see me?

Idle Thoughts.

P.S. All I really want for Christmas is to catch up on my sleep.

Dear Idle Thoughts,

It was a toy. A Red Ryder B-B-Gun, to be specific.

Yer Pal,  
Santa
