LETTERS FROM FATHER CHRISTMAS – Georgiann Carlson

Dear Marcy

while I would love to move you

to a castle in Italy

I find that it will not be possible

at least not this year

and Marcy

you don’t have to write in crayon

I know you’re 25 years old

I’m Santa

remember

I know everything

Santa

Dear Scott

I do not think your third grade teacher

is a zombie

and I don’t know of any zombie testing kit

that is available

If your teacher’s skin or arms start to fall off

tell your mother

Meanwhile

how about a bike

Santa

Dear Tiger

I will bring cans of tuna

I’m sorry the people you live with

don’t like the odor

I’m not sure if you will be able to open the cans

but I’m hopeful you’ll come up with something

since cats are clever and quite innovative

Santa

Dear Susan

yes

you can be Santa next year

just fill out the papers I’ll leave under the tree

along with the books you wanted

mail the papers back to the North Poll

in care of me

and of course you can sleep in the barn

with the reindeer

but the house is warmer

you don’t have to decide until you get here

I hope you like cookies

Santa

I’m an artist, a writer, a vegetarian, an animal rights activist, and quite a few other things as well. I love books, cats, philosophy, good conversation, Chicago and the arts. So my blog is full of bits and pieces but it’s the bits and pieces that make life interesting to me. You can read more of my writing at Rethinking Life
