Santa Died Last Year
By Rattle_Spear
11 November 2005
From all the giving, Santa passed away! All he left behind was a cryptic note.

Santa Died Last Year - 2004

 Santa's getting frail.

 Santa's getting old.

Santa may have died last year.

 So I have been told.

 I am not handing out presents.

 I am not sending cards.

 I have decided, because times are hard.

 I was always giving.

 Receiving nothing in return?

 Why should I go on like this?

 When I do not have money to burn.

 So, my dear, be thankful.

 For all the good times you've had.

 Blessed be all my children.

 Yes, it leaves me very sad!

 Love forever, Your Dad!

Yes, this says alot with a little. havign to explain to a kid that Santa does not exist and their Dad has passed away, is an interesting way of looking at death. You should be pleased with this. Its innovative and effective.
Curses!

I already know that Santa isn't real, but I would like to think that it isn't true! Still, I must go on with other dreams and fantasies. I will avenge your death, Santa! 
 
This is still a great piece, I assure you.
