Dear Santa,
I am writing to you in the hope that you may grant me but one wish this Christmas – snow. You see, I live in Atlanta, and it very rarely snows here. Also, as you know, Atlanta drivers are the worst in the world. I mean really, they neither know how to use their turn signal, nor do they adhere to the rules when it comes to those traffic signals blinking of bright red and green.
They are the worst (did I already say that?)
So, this Christmas I would like snow, say, maybe a foot or two on Christmas Day, because we both know that most drivers here never change their tires when they start wearing down – mosquito wheels, don’t you know – named so because if a tire tread wears down so much, and if mosquito stings it, it would go flat.
You see, if we had a foot or so of wet, sloppy snow on Christmas, those folks with bad driving habits and mosquito wheels would be slipping and sliding all over the place. Just the sight of that would tickle me fuchsia, and cheer me up immensely.
In closing, I’d like to say that you always look quite fetching in that red flannel suit of yours, although you may want to consider calling Jenny Craig for a little blubber advice.
Oh well, scratch that last comment about your weight. If you’re flying over Atlanta on Christmas Eve, you’ll be the belle of the ball, because we are also the Southern Capital of bearded men and f’tasses.
Yours truly,
Corey James
PS – Be sure to tell Rudolf to turn off his nose when you fly over my house. I don’t want the neighbors to think I live in the Red Light District (if you know what I mean).
Cheers!

Dear Santa,
I am writing to you in the hope that you may grant me but one wish this Christmas - snow. For Corey James, the madtexter in Hotlanta. You see, I live in Rochester, NY and I'm just getting really tired of the over EIGHT FEET of snow we average any given winter.
So let'em have a taste of real winter! Let'em have snow and lot's of it! If fact, let'em have OUR snow this winter and while they are plowing, digging, and shoveling for six months, we can have mild temps and pretend that global warming has finally ended Hell freezing over here on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. I'm all about giving, Santa!
Please? Santa? OK? Thanks!
Enjoy, Atlanta!!! And Merry Christmas!!
Oh. And PS, Santa:
Please tell Rudy to wear a mask over his nose. Can't have him dripping all over the rooftop. And that goes for the others too. I don't want to have deer flu over the New Year holiday!
Thanks again, Santa.
Dear R. Burnett Baker,
As a a former resident of PA and New York, I applaud your efforts at sending snow down South! Together, we can hope and dream that some of your snow will travel down South. (I can only dream!)
The weather forecast says we're going to be having a blizzard here tomorrow where I live in the Great White North. I'll see what I can do about sending it your way instead. Keep your fingers crossed!
We don't have any snow in Minneapolis yet. I am hoping we have a very mild winter. If we get too much, I'll send some your way!!
Corey,
I hope Santa brings you everything you desire for Christamas this year. I am sure you have been a good boy all year in 2009.
Happy Holidaze,
Stephen
That was fun Corey. I hope you can have at least a little snow this year. I'd send you some from NH, but it is fifty-five degrees here.
Great humor!
