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...

I love the Kraft commercial, it reminds me of my in-laws, they are the actual Kraft family, so they have to always use Kraft products. I on the other hand like everything made from scratch the way my Mom does it!

"The Best Christmas EVER I am not joking!" -Thats great. I laughed when I saw the "flip for list" directions-I used to write the same excact thing-wanted to make sure Santa seen every page. I get to spoil my god daughter. Don’t think I’m ready for kids yet-still have trouble taking care of myself…..It’s good practice though.

He wants Shadow the Hedgehog?
Hot Angsty Hedgehog Action! YEEEAH!

I remember writing a letter to Santa once. I don’t remember what I asked for, though.

Ok, so someone tell my an a blaspheme meter from 1 to 100, how bad would it be if, instead of using the 40 year old South American blessed by a Priest figurines my mom wants me to use for the manger scene, I use Transformers instead….?

Or maybe just have them working security, you know, like escorts to the 3 wise men…..? Something along those lines….?

Chestnuts roasted by Galvatron @ 12/12/2005 4:12 PM

Galvatron: IMO, that would be pretty bad. Instead, why don’t you make the regular nativity scene, and then make a separate scene just with Transformers. That would be funny, IMO.

Cameron:

I think if I actually went through with it, I’d be disowned by my famaily. They’re super religious. I’m religious too, but I don’t take it all that seriously. For better or worse.

I’m so tempted to do it though….

Oh Lord…I’m going to hell….

that letter made me realize that christmas really is all about presents and not this wishywashy joy to the world and peace on earth crap.

just kidding matt, that letter is cool and made me wish i was a kid again instead of the cynical, self-loathing adult that ive become.

Just a comment about the Kraft commercial. The ONLY acceptable Kraft product on Thanksgiving or Christmas is Cool Whip.

My family makes everything from scratch. Even the stuffing. In fact, I had Stove Top for the first time this year, and I learned it tastes WAY better than my Gran’s stuffing. But there’s no way in hell I’d want it on the holidays!

Anyway, this year, an Aunt was in charge of doling out the pies. She asked if I wanted whipped cream (i.e. Cool Whip) and I said yes. Then I got my pumpkin pie…and it had creme fraiche on it. This is not sweet. This is, I am told, very European. This makes my pie taste like ass.

So Cool Whip is fine; all the other stuff has to go!

Matt-
The scene where K and K are standing on the Mare picture… camera angled down… and then cut to the REAL Mare gazing out the window of Santa’s house… my heart skipped a beat. You’re working up to something here. I will not say what I think and possibly give away a twist, but I will say this:

Pure cinema. Nice.

And Waiterbot is a great villan. I love to hate him even more than I love hating Paris Hilton.

I have an older sister and two older cousins, so I didn’t have the luxury of actually believing in Santa Claus very long. In fact, I don’t really remember a time when I didn’t know the presents were put out by my parents. So, I never sent a letter to Santa Claus that I remember.

Maybe I should have… my mom has told me that the reason I never had any transformers is because I never asked for them, even though I coveted the ones my male friends had. I guess I assumed those were "boy toys" and therefore I couldn’t have them, even though my parents never gave me the impression I had to be girly or anything.

Despite learning "the truth" about Santa Claus at a very early age, I still, at 29, kinda believe in him. I don’t think he’s going to come leave presents for me, but I feel he very well might be there for the kids that really need it. I guess all the Christmas movies and specials have gotten to me. Anyone else still believe in Santa Claus?

By the way thanks for the Media Player Yule Log tip, Rhino! thats cool!

Chestnuts roasted by dj BC @ 12/12/2005 6:14 PM

I believe very strongly in Santa Claus. Not that I think he comes down my chimney or anything, but there is no doubt in my mind that he exists.

On a side note, I’ve got the Christmas light pictures. They’ll be up later tonight.

Chestnuts roasted by Rhino @ 12/12/2005 6:16 PM

YES! FINALLY! YES! I got my package today that includes both volumes of Star Wars: Clone Wars. As intended, I plan to spend my entire day tomorrow watching the complete Star Wars saga, chronologically and including the Clone Wars cartoon.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 12/12/2005 6:29 PM

Get him Animal Crossing. That game alone will last him at least a year. He won’t need anything else.

Chestnuts roasted by Brandon @ 12/12/2005 6:29 PM

That was the best letter ever!!! I am not joking!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Jessica Marie @ 12/12/2005 6:37 PM

Rhino, what’s the name of the Yule Log for media player? I can’t find it. (already downloaded the bonus pack) Thanks for the tip. :)

I used Homies for a couple years for a nativity scene at the coffee shop. But they’re people. So maybe that’s different.

Me and my boyfriend watched the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special on Saturday night. Man, you guys need to see this DVD…

She-Ra’s music is like leftover 70s porno music…the stuff they used after all the really bad stuff was spoken for. The DVD itself has an exclusive music video "I Have the Power," which is from 1984. It was scary because they used the word "love" in it, yet He-Man and She-Ra were singing it to each other! Of course, they really weren’t together…but still.

I’m graduating from college on Sunday–yikes. It was the FASTEST 4 years I’ve experienced.

I also wrote Christmas lists when I was really young–I think I stopped in 3rd grade though. I dunno, maybe 2nd. In 1st grade, the 6th graders visited my elementary school from the intermediate school to help us write letters to Santa. We did one better in 6th grade–we actually received a 1st grade class’s letters, and we wrote letters back to the kids, under the alias of made up elves.

I stopped believing when I was 9. OF course, that Christmas (4th grade–me and my brother were ten by then), my brother said he heard my dad drop a gift on the stairs and say "dammit!" Nice work, dad…

Chestnuts roasted by Allison @ 12/12/2005 8:30 PM

Heheheh, that letter reminds me of when I was little and I’d go scouring the Sears Wishbook for what I wanted for Christmas, and then write out my list on red or green construction paper.

However, Santa lost me as a fan the year he took away my Game Gear and instead of re-wrapping it and giving it to my sister, he just stuck a new nametag on the package, so I knew just what it was. (No, wait, that was my mom who did that.)

If anyone’s into Letters to Santa I bought a really cool book last year by J.R.R. Tolkien. It’s a compilation of letters his kids wrote to Santa followed by Santa’s replies which, of course, Tolkien really wrote. Good stuff.

Chestnuts roasted by Carri @ 12/12/2005 10:40 PM

Carri

What was it called and where’d ya get it? Almost anything Tolkien is usually good stuff.

Chestnuts roasted by Double G @ 12/12/2005 11:00 PM

Double G, The Yule Log is under the Visualizations menu. Go ino "View" on the toolbar, highlight Visualizations, and Yule Log should be the last one on the bottom.

Everyone else, my Christmas light pics are up. Just go http://www.geocities.com/garymacandalan/deco05.html" target="_blank">here if you’re interested.

Chestnuts roasted by Rhino @ 12/12/2005 11:00 PM

Rhino Thanks. It was the fun pack that had the Yule Log. Just installed it, looks great! Thanks for the tip again. Oh and the lights look great!

Chestnuts roasted by Double G @ 12/12/2005 11:10 PM

Double G – The title is "Letters from Father Christmas." I bought if off Amazon.

Chestnuts roasted by Carri @ 12/12/2005 11:58 PM

Carri – I love that book! My dad had a copy of it when I was a kid. We’d read it every Christmas. My sister and I would write letters to Santa, and my dad would leave our presents under the tree with a note written in the same shaky handwriting that Tolkien used. Good stuff! Very dark Christmas stories though–wasn’t it gobblins that were destroying the North Pole?
