I remember in elementary school when we were in the fourth or fifth grade we were given an assignment to pretend to be Santa. The second graders would write a letter to Santa, and we would have to write the reply. Yes I know utterly creepy, but it was our first exercise in that most adult of skills deceptive evasion. How exactly do I tell this little kid no without shattering their illusions.

A kid in the second grade thinks Santa can bring anything including a eight hundred dollar go cart. The funniest reply I ever heard was the following. HO HO HO Maybe next year. Probably worked wonders too perhaps by next year they would have forgotten this year.

So lance in response to your eloquent, intelligent, and grammatically stimulating question I answer with a resounding.

Ho Ho Ho Maybe next year!!!!
