Dear Santa,

I hope you're feeling up to snuff and above snuffling, but if your nose remains redder than even Rudolph's, just take out your Kleenex or clean Hanky (free of panky), take the advice of all those bumper stickers and "HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS!" in an act of praise to show him you wish him a Happy Birthday. And I'll put out a shot or two for the elves to have a good snort in your homor.

'Tis the season, after all....

Be well!
Your Grateful Santee
