• Dear Santa: ---- .
I am writing to thank you for that bag of
candy you gave, me the ther day when, I -
came down to the arena.
Perhapsyou don't,,,,remember .me but 1 ,
was the little boy who. came 9991h in the -
line up,' (rernembet• they had to thaw me out
, when they got me into the building.) -
If you do not rernember me you might be
able td remember, my Mum .- she was the
large lady with -the -small hat holding the
p. .chain - I ups., on the other' end of it. The
' reason she kept clipping my ear and then
pretending to smile at •the other ladies was
probably because she like smiling.
Really I hadrift ,been that bad. Just
because I shouted "Fire" that time and all
those poor-men-rtis-hed-ou-t-to-the-t
was, only my way of being friendly.
If I hurt you when I kicked you my' Dad
'saVs I hate -to say I'm sorry. 'Mere was also
no reason why I brought my knee up in your
face when you bent down.
Some kids told me the other day that you
weren't real. I know that wasn't true because
you kept spitting bits of beard out of your
mouth when they helped you up off the.
floor. .. .
If you had any difficulty washing your
hands after patting me on the head I can
only say that. I forgot to warn you. Froma
small child - that was lat' week - I never
believed that as little datxwould do you., .
My hair Oil may have smelt kind of unny_,
!is well •because I have -invented my own
which incudes ihTidesa secret ingredient. This, and
I ask you to keep it a secret, is skunk grease.
I have only one complaint about Sunday
and that was I only got 74 nuts m my bag. I
,know Jimmy Brown got 75 because I
counted them out afterwards on, our
bathroom, floor.
I did kijd of even things off tho gh'
--because I trod on some of his candy, He
didn't •feel too bad because he ate it anyway,.
come to our' house
•
. When '
Ch'ristmas Eve I would be very pleased if you
could slip a few live rounds into my 007 kit.'
I keep saying what good is it to 1-taye.a
it.
' Also if , you can ,remember my birthday
...
next October I will be most obiiiged, I will
be 27. . ..
• He'ee's wishing you a festive season and -
keep up the good work. • , • ,
Yours Fred Flintstone.'
