Dear God

I
am sorry to have to bother you, but after receiving no response from
Santa -even after repeated attempts- and thereafter Jesus, who
apparently snubbed all of my letters (not taking the time to respond
even once), I felt it was necessary to forward my letter to you. Sorry
to usurp your time.
I am writing to inform you of what I would
like for Christmas. I know this is not your usual department, but due
to the serious and urgent nature of my request, I was left with no
other choice but to go directly over Santa's head. Now, if you'll allow
me to continue, I will inform you of my wish list, brief as it may be:
All I want for Christmas is Santa's dismissal.
That's right, you heard me correctly, I would like you to fire Santa
Claus and to nominate new candidates that will be elected by democratic means.
Santa is a longstanding dictator who exploits the socially marginalized
for their low-cost labour. He is a slave driver whose infamous North
Pole sweatshops employ these disadvantaged souls as carpenters -one of
the most hazardous professions in the world.
He is at the head of
a rogue state, which obeys no U.N. resolutions or sanctions. He has not
once reported to the Security Council, and U.N. weapons inspectors have
yet to examine how his massive heating system operates, which, based on
satellite reports, may even be nuclear powered. He is a despotic and
ruthless leader who will hesitate at nothing to cling to power. The
opposition party, E.L.F.'s (Elevated Liberation Front) demonstrations
and subsequent strikes were brutally suppressed by Santa's C.L.S. party
(Communist League of Saints).
Santa is a notorious recluse. Santa
cannot be found when needed. Is this anyway for a holder of public
office to behave? Numerous clones of Santa have been sighted in densely
populated metropolitan areas, but when will the real Santa present himself?
Santa has been travelling all over the globe, ignoring visa
restrictions and violating trade embargoes. This year he is even
expected to appear in Cuba.
Santa is severely overweight and
overbearing -while forcing all of those poor reindeer (which, as you
know, are all on the endangered species list) to drag him and over 50 Lbs. of cargo from house to house while the S.P.C.A. -the so-called protector
of animal rights- remains silent.
Santa is a traitor. He knows no religious or diplomatic bounds. From
his humble beginnings, he has now exploded onto the global scene and
frequents citizens of countries that do not adhere to the teachings of
Christ. He has even received petitions from all manner of savage
children, including the children of countries such as Japan and even Korea.
(So now you see why the situation is so serious, and why I am shocked
that Jesus has not gotten back to me regarding this affair.)
Does
Santa have any honour at all? What nationality does he profess to be?
We need to see more transparency on the part of the North Pole. What
about the vast oil reserves sitting under his factory that he refuses
to share it with the poverty stricken, illiterate local population of
retired E.L.F. party members, or his institution of the controversial
"Gas for Toy Guns" program? Are we going to sit back and let this loose
cannon ruin Christmas? I demand that a U.N. hearing be set for this evening before a five country panel at The Hague before this madman can do any more damage to our children.
Thank you,
