Santa Clauz in the Hizzy!
My phone rings yesterday afternoon. Normally I don't answer if I don't recognize the number, but it was from a local number and I was already looking for an excuse to stop talking with a coworker.
*[insert random annoying ringtone here]*
Me: "Hello?"
They: "Santa?"
Me: "Excuse me?"
They: "Yes. Is this Santa?"
Me: "Not that I'm aware of. Can I help you with something?"
They: "I'm sorry. You were listed as a reference for Robert XXXXXX at this number."
Me: "Nope. Sorry, don't know him. But I can tell you he's been a very naughty boy."
They: "Ok, I'll list the number as 'invalid. Have a nice day."
Me: "Merry Christmas."
I stared at the phone for a bit.
The things that amazed me about this call:
- that someone actually listed Santa as a reference
- that a company would still call to check on it
- that Santa lives in Central Texas
- that they actually found me
Ho.

May I please get your number?
I have a list I need to go over with you. Not enough time for mail.
Second thought; if you ARE in Central Texas, I COULD go over the list with you in person.
And no more of this pot calling the kettle black mister.
HoHoHo...
can I send you our Christmas letters? I have about 20 from my class. They can't really write, there are just lots of pictures, but I'm sure you'll be able to decipher them.
xoxox
funny stuff.
Ho indeed.
I will be taking requests, but due to how close it is to the deadline, I'll need those letters notarized, in triplicate, all sources cited.
