Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter called “the House”) a general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including, but not limited to a mouse.
A variety of foot apparel, e. G. stocking, socks, etc., had been affixed by and around the chimney in said House in the hope and/or belief that St. Nick a/k/a/ St. Nicholas a/k/a/ Santa Claus (hereinafter referred to as “Claus”) would arrive at sometime thereafter.
The minor residents, i. E. the children, of the aforementioned House were located in their individual beds and were engaged in nocturnal hallucinations, i. E. dreams, wherein vision of confectionery treats, including, but not limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did dance, cavort and otherwise appear in said dreams.
Whereupon the party of the first part (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “I”), being the joint-owner in fee simple of the House with the parts of the second part (hereinafter “Mamma”), and said Mamma had retired for a sustained period of sleep. (At such time, the parties were clad in various forms of headgear, e. G. kerchief and cap.)
Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did occur upon the unimproved real property adjacent and appurtenant to said House, i. E. the lawn, a certain disruption of unknown nature, cause and/or circumstance. The party of the first part did immediately rush to a window in the House to investigate the cause of such disturbance.
At that time, the party of the first part did observe, with some degree of wonder and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh (hereinafter called “the Vehicle”) being pulled and/or drawn very rapidly through the air by approximately eight (8) reindeer. The driver of the Vehicle appeared to be and in fact was, the previously referenced Claus.
Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction and guidance to the approximately eight (8) reindeer and specifically identified the animal co-conspirators by name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixеn, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen (hereinafter called “the Deer.”) (Upon information and belief, it is further asserted an additional co-conspirator named “Rudolph” may have been involved.)
The party of the first part witnessed Claus, the Vehicle and the Deer intentionally and willfully trespass upon the roofs of several residences located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the House, and noted that the Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys and other items of unknown origin or nature. Suddenly, without prior invitation or permission, either express or implied, the Vehicle arrived at the House, and Claus entered said House via the chimney.
Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which was partially covered with residue from the chimney, and he carried a large sack containing a portion of the aforementioned packages, toys, and other unknown items. He was smoking what appeared to be tobacco in a small pipe in blatant violation of local ordinances and health regulations.
Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the stocking of the minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney, with toys and other small gifts. (Said items did not, however, constitute “gifts” to said minor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the U. S. Tax Code.)
Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his nose and flew, rose and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof where the Vehicle and Deer waited and/or served as “lookouts.” Claus immediately departed for an unknown destination.
However, prior to the departure of the Vehicle, Deer and Claus from said House, the party of the first part did hear Claus state and/or exclaim:
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!” Or words to that effect.
Dear Diary, …
….
Aug 12 - Moved to our new home in Canada. I am so excited. It’s so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them. …

Oct 14 - Canada-it is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned all colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful countryside and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here!
Nov 11 - Remembrance Day. Deer season starts soon. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to кill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it snows soon. I love it here!
Dec 2 - It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won). When the snow plow came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Canada!
Dec 12 - More snow last night. The snow plow did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here.
Dec 19 - More snow last night. Couldn’t get out of the driveway to get to work. It’s beautiful here but I’m exhausted from shoveling. Fuскing snow plow.
Dec 22 - More of that white shiт fell last night. I’ve got blisters on my hands and a sore back from shoveling. I think the snow plow hides around the corner until I’m done shoveling the driveway. Аsshоlе.
Dec 25 - Merry Fuскing Christmas! More frigging snow. If I ever get my hands on the sonovabitch who drives the snow plow, I swear I’ll кill the ваsтаrd. Don’t know why they don’t use more salt on the roads to melt the fuскing ice.
Dec 27 - More white shiт last night. Been inside for three days now except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow plow goes through every time. Can’t go anywhere, the car’s stuck in a mountain of white shiт and it’s so frigging cold. The weatherman says to expect another 10 inches of the shiт again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?
Dec 28 - That fuскing weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of the shiт this time. At this rate it won’t melt before summer. The snow plough got stuck up in the road and that ваsтаrd came to my door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him that I had already broken six shovels shoveling out all the shiт he had pushed into my driveway, I dамn near broke my last one over his fuскing head.
Jan 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on my way back a dамnеd deer ran in front of the car. Did about $3,000 damage to the car. Those fuскing beasts should be killed. The ваsтаrds are everywhere. Wish the hunters had exterminated them all last November.
May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusted out from all that fuскing salt they put all over the roads.
May 10 - Moved to Florida. I can’t imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever want to live in such a God forsaken place as Canada!

My mate works for the Royal Mail, and part of his job is to process all the mail that has illegible addresses. One day last week, a letter came to his desk, addressed in shaky handwriting, to Father Christmas. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. He opened it and it read:
Dear Father Christmas,
I am a 93-year-old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100.00 in it, which was all the money I have until my next pension money. In a couple of Sunday’s it is Christmas, and I have invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me? I could really do with you delivering anything before Xmas Day.
Sincerely, Edna
My mate was touched so he showed the letter to all of the other workers. Each of them dug into his wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96.00, which they put into an envelope and delivered in the post the next day to the woman. He told me all of the workers felt a warm glow for the kind thing they had done. Then a few days ago, another letter came from the old lady, to Father Christmas again. All of the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:
Dear Father Christmas,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you have done for me? Because of your gift of love, I am now able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. I’m sure we’ll all have a very nice day and I’ve told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must have been those fuскin’ thieving ваsтаrds at the Royal Mail …
Sincerely, Edna
