Dear Billy,
Nice spelling. You’re on your way to a career in lawn care. How about I send you a f—ing book so you can learn to read and write?
–Santa
Dear Santa,
I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is peace, love, and joy in the world for everybody!
Love,

Dear Sarah,
Your parents smoked pot before they had you, didn’t they?
–Santa
Dear Santa,
I don’t know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I’d like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do.
Love,
–Teddy
Dear Teddy,
Look, your dad’s banging the babysitter like a screen door in a hurricane. Do you think he’s gonna give that up to come back to your frigid mom, who rides his ass constantly? It’s time to give up that dream. Let me get you some nice Legos instead.
–Santa
Dear Santa,
I want a new bike, a Playstation, a train, some G.I. Joes, a dog, a drum kit, a pony and a tuba.
Love,

Dear Francis,
Nice name Francis. Who names their kid “Francis” nowadays? I bet you’re gay.

Milk gives me the runs and carrots make the deer fart in my face when riding in the sleigh. You want to do me a favor? Leave me a bottle of your Dad’s scotch.
–Santa
Dear Santa,
What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you busy making toys?
Your friend,
–Thomas
Dear Thomas,
All the toys are made in China. I have a condo in Vegas, where I spend most of my time making low-budget porno films. I unwind by drinking myself silly and squeezing the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money at the craps table. Hey, you wanted to know.
–Santa
Dear Santa,
Do you see us when we’re sleeping, do you really know when we are awake like in the song?
Love,
–Jessica
Dear Jessica,
Are you really that gullible? You must be a blonde. Good luck in whatever you do. I’m skipping your house.

FORD DEAL FROM BIKERNET READER–I want to let you and all your readers know about an opportunity to purchase most Ford Motor Company vehicles at the X-Plan rate. I am a retired United Autoworker from Ford as well as a motorcyclist, a budding Land Speed Racer and a Bikernet Assalt Weapan sponsor. I have several X-Plan slots left this year and I want to offer them to fellow bikers and your readers. There are no strings attached simply contact me and I’ll hook up anyone who asks with this offer. The X-Plan is like dealer cost, there are no hassles and the X-Plan price is printed on the vehicle invoice so the buyer doesn’t have to haggle for the best price.
Some may ask why I am doing this. It’s simple… I am retired from Ford Motor Company so my retirement is directly related to the health of Ford. I am also an American Consumer Patriot who believes that the best way to help my country is by supporting American Made Products. The best thing we can all do is to purchase American Made Products which will contribute to the economic health and lively hood of our fellow Americans. I ride Harleys because they are American made and I try whenever I can to buy products Made in the USA.
As I said there are no strings attached, if more people reply than I can help I will talk to my fellow UAW members and try to find more X-Plans from them. Use of the X-Plan offer still allows all cash incentives to apply too. From December 08, 2006 through January 2, 2007 the plan is also offering an additional $500.00 Bonus Cash on most vehicles.

BIKERNET CLASSROOM INVESTIGATION–As a teacher, Ms. Jones was very curious about how each of her students celebrated Christmas. She called on young Patrick Murphy. “Tell me Patrick, what do you do at Christmas time?” she asked. Patrick addressed the class, “Well Ms. Jones, me & my twelve brothers & sisters go to the midnight Mass and we sing hymns, then we come home very late & we put mince pies by the back door & hang up our stockings. Then all excited we go to bed & wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys”. “Very nice Patrick”, she said. “Now, Jimmy Brown what do you do at Christmas?” “Well, Ms. Jones, me & my sister also go to Church with Mum & Dad and we sing carols & we get home ever so late. We put cookies & milk by the chimney & we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents.” Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave him out of the discussion, she asked, “Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?” Isaac said, “Well, it’s the same thing every year. Dad comes home from the office. We all pile into the Rolls Royce, then we drive to his toy factory. When we get inside, we look at all the empty shelves and begin to sing ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus’. Then we all go to the Bahamas.” –from Nick Roberts
