My nephew’s letter to Santa…

Advent & Advert Calendars are up to date. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon with news on the holiday junk food everyone must go out and buy immediately. So get clairvoyant and try to figure out what I'm talking about before tomorrow afternoon, otherwise you'll fail at buying it immediately. Meantime, click "more" to see my nephew's letter to Santa Claus, and I swear to God he wrote it. I could not possibly write something this awesome myself...

Those drawings make that letter awesome. SANTA RULEZ!

I used to write letters like that, but it was to the "official" North Pole address. I remember writing two, but getting back the same generic "I’ll see what I can do" letter. That was sort of disheartening, but Santa’s still good people.

Uhh Matt? You DO know the instructions for the Lego Advent Calendar are on the inside flap of each present right?

Because you seem to be assembling the bits slightly off kilter and its disturbing me for some stupid reason. (Stupid for many reasons, the fact its Lego and one can really do what one wants with them being the largest.)

I’m enjoying your take on things though. Mine are all lined up on top of my CD Boom Box (Sony brand so the CD skips at any volume above 1/2 of course. Oh Sony, can’t you make any consumer electronics that DON’T break down?) in order. After the new year they get to be in my comic project. Cept I am a Mac user now (a whole whopping WEEK now. Was my Xmas present to myself.), and will be using a comic maker program called Comic Life to rock out the toy madness.

Ok, its an excuse to buy Legos, but so be it.

I think we have a new Greatest Advent Character ever.

And Bob be thy name.

I never wrote a letter to Santa. But that letter makes me want to right now. Awesome. Love where the story is headed. Mare looking out the window made me think of her singing that song from Fifel Goes West… You know "Somewhere, Out there"… That one. Good stuff!

I think ‘I’ was a pretty good boy, too.

Today’s Story Of Suck:
I plan to buy a friend a present. [For the sake of being specific, it's a Sonokong Beast Wars Neo Longrack vs. Guiledart set] It’s up for auction, right, and it’s gone around a couple times, so I know I can get it cheap. Lo and behold, I forget to bid, and the auction’s relisted before I can ask for a fixed price offer. So I ask the seller for a buynow price on the new one, explaining that I missed the earlier one and it’s for a friend’s christmas present. What does he do, but put one on for two and a half times the price I could’ve had it for an hour earlier. Gaah.

‘Tis the season to be greedy..

Greatest letter… ever.

Chestnuts roasted by Double G @ 12/12/2005 9:04 AM

I like your nephews take on the letter to santa, a list and a letter; the letter summing up his most wanted gifts. When I wrote santa letters it was Dear santa, how ya doing, heres my list. . .

I like the Santa Rulez picture. That is a lot of stars.

I’d really like to see the Stetson Cologne commercial (the sleigh ride through the park)… I can’t seem to find it online

that was out of the blue sorry

Your nephew is awesome. Every christmas I wanted a ton of stuff, too. I feel old because when I look at his list my first thought is that it’s like $1,000 worth of stuff.

The storyline on the advent calendar is quite suspenseful!

Hey. Little off-topic tidbit for all of you who appreciate the Yule Log.

If you have Windows XP and the latest version of Windows Media Player, you can download a WMP Bonus Pack from Microsoft.com that’ll give you your very own Yule Log visualization.

Gamer from waaay back here… I have both the DS and PSP. The PSP is more powerful and has a beautiful, huge screen on it. Unfortunately the games arent there for it yet. Lumines and Ridge Racer are the best of the crop. The DS has no analog whatsoever and the touchscreen looks like vaseline smeared crap, but the best games are there. Metroid Pinball, Sonic Rush, Castlevania, Animal Crossing, Meteos, Kirby Canvas Curse, Mario & Luigi… all great games. I’m not really partial to either system, they both have their pros and cons.

All the Mario sports games on the GC suck too except for Tennis.

after reading that letter, i officially have the christmas spirit again.. – thank you nick.. you’re my savior..

I’m not a gamer, and hand-helds give me a headache. :p

Your nephew does do a great list, Matt. Makes me wish my nephew was old enough to write a letter to Santa. Oh, well, another couple of years, and he’ll be asking for video games and DVDs up the wazoo, too…

Ok, the whole thing with the fruitcake was fairly pointless but cute. Couldn’t stomach the cake, so you fed it to the toys, huh Matt? ;)

Today’s is far more interesting. Could our favorite stormtroopes and not-so-angelic Mare be heading for a reunion?

Cute letter. My son asked Santa for a fish and a bowl of water this year. I think I can handle that one.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 12/12/2005 11:11 AM

Oh Boy, this year is going to be a doozy. I like th fact that all of Matt’s characters share the same world…

I think Mista Snowman shit in the cake…it wouldn’t surprise me, it just wouldn’t….

Wow, pretty girl just walked into my office…I’ll be right back….

Matt, will there be a new Christmas jukebox this year?

Chestnuts roasted by yikes @ 12/12/2005 11:42 AM

Is it just me, or does "Books" on Nick’s list look like it was added afterwards to appease an adult?

Great letter the kid has. When our local newpaper prints the "Kids Letters to Santa" things, I like to read them out loud. They get printed verbatim and it’s fun to see what kind of mutant spelling crops up. A couple of years ago, a whole first grade class kept asking for a "pupy ples" and it became our catch phrase that X-Mas. I’ll keep you posted if any new words get added to my seasonal vacabulary this year.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/12/2005 12:19 PM

I noticed that too, mags.

This letter makes me miss the days when I could just go hogwild asking for crap instead of having to come up with a wishlist that only includes things my family can afford.

On the upside, I just remembered I’m getting the Beatles blue greatest hits 2-CD set (I have the red one already). I know because my boyfriend bought it in front of me so he’d get the right thing. And I think I’m getting DDR Mario Mix because my mom mentioned a gift that’s too big to wrap, and that game comes in a collassal box. I don’t think I spelled collassal right.

Kittycatgirl:
"and the touchscreen looks like vaseline smeared crap"

You’re not supposed to replace the stylus with an icepick. It says so in the manual! Seriously, my wife and I got a DS at launch, it’s seen regular use over the past year, and the touchscreen is a crystal clear as the first time we fired it up. As an aside, our PSP hasn’t seen nearly as much playtime as the DS. It’s like everyone else is saying: the games just arent’t there. Tokobot looks pretty neat, but it’s supposedly very short, so I suppose it will be a rental.

Colossal. That looks better.

Chestnuts roasted by jazzy @ 12/12/2005 12:32 PM

*after reading previous post*

I’m not drunk, I swear. Ignore my typos, please.

Chestnuts roasted by ZiZak @ 12/12/2005 12:33 PM

Matt, I’m lovin’ the Advent so very much right now. I had a dream about you this weekend…I don’t remember what it was about, just that I was dreaming and you were in it. Weird. My X-E withdrawal on the weekends catching up with me, I guess. Damn my busted computer.

I watched the Charlie Brown Dog for X-Mas special…I thought it was cute, but I was REALLY annoyed the poor kid didn’t get a dog! Sure, hanging out with Spike for a little while would be cool, but dammit just give the kid a dog. This is why I can’t have kids. We’d have a zoo by the time they’re 8 because I can’t say no to fuzzy aminals.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Oh, and the Grinch is apparently on tonight on Comedy Central at 8pm EST…apparently, it’s getting a lot of play there this year, and it was on somewhere else already because I’ve seen it once so far. It’s still my favorite special, hands-down.

Anybody here who owns a DS, you NEED Mario Kart DS. It’s the best game in the Mario Kart series by far. Matt, make sure that kid gets Mario Kart DS for Christmas. :)

Chestnuts roasted by LuigiHann @ 12/12/2005 12:41 PM

Although my infatuation is clearly not as strong as Nicole’s (you’re not in my dreams or anything), i think the reason your nephew is so cool is because he has such an awesome uncle. If you ever decide to have kids, they are gonna have so much fun!

And I loved the fruitcake bit. And the "rebound" comment.
