Still looking for a present for that hard-to-buy-for person (with a sense of humor) on your list? You might consider Santa Responds: He's Had Enough and He's Writing Back. Here's an excerpt:"Dear Santa,
How come you so fat?
Love, Ashton, aged 8."
"Dear Ashton,
How come you so rude? Seriously, haven't your parents taught you any manners? Or grammar?
(Santa then goes on to explain his girth is due to a love of carbs and alcohol, and though it may seem hypocritical for him to rag on others for poor nutrition choices, he's immortal, so he can afford to not eat right.)
Life aint fair, Santa"
Life aint fair, Santa"
Most letters/replies are at least mildly amusing, a few laugh out loud funny, and some probably offensive to someone out there. Santa attacks children with bad punctuation, those who are vague, those who lie, those who rat out their siblings, and those who are greedy, among a host of other transgressions. It can get a little repetitive, so it's probably best read in a group, picking a letter at random, with copious amounts of spiked egg nog on hand.
SANTA RESPONDS is available now in hardcover.

LOL, sounds hilarious! I love the excerpt xD.
Hehe, sounds like a great book to pull out every year at christmas!
I did think the book got repetitive. You're probably right - it would be better if you just read a letter or two at a time.
I saw this at the store and it looked kind of amusing...but agreed, these type of things are always best when you don't read it all the way through.

Agreed! We read it aloud a bit at a time and even without the spike in our egg nog, they worked great that way.
