Santa Claus
So I received an email with the subject line: You child wants a letter from Santa!
I find this somewhat disturbing as for a mere $9.95 I can send my child a personalized letter from Santa. And to top this off I can choose whether they receive one of six traditional or Christian letters. I don't know but I do not think I will be partaking in this ritual this year as Andrew is only nine months old and has no clue what Christmas is much less Santa Claus. But one can only assume millions of unsuspecting fools will partake in this activity. I can almost see my Grandpa doing such a thing and sending all his Great-Grandkids a letter from Santa as Andrew received a Happy Halloween card from him signed "The Great Pumpkin."

Gee only $10 to send your kid a make believe letter from Santa...it just feels kinda wrong that someone is making money off that...especially since it's just a form letter!

yeah I know ... I was talking with some friends at dinner thursday night and citi cards charges $3.00 for a letter from Santa, which is more reasonable and all of the proceeds go directly to some charity. Now I would have bought that one.
