    The Letters:
    From Johnny, Dear Santa. I want an ipod, an x-box 360, a basketball, and a drum set
    Sluvious-Dear Johnny, sorry, but all the ipods are gone, want an x-box?, leave your girlfriend, as for the basketball, your neighbors left one out in the back yard, and speaking of your neighbors, they would never tolerate you having a drum set....
    From Nicole, Dear Santa. I would like my parents to get back together again, I'd like the new Eminem cd, my brother to stop picking on me and those new boots that all the girls have, but we can't afford.....
    Sluvious-Dear Nicole your mom is so fridged she should be working for me at the north pole, your dad has no intention of returning, your brother will stop picking on you when you stop playing those dumb *** eminem records, as for the boots you want, size 7...your friend Cathy left hers in her locker at school, the combination Number is 12L-16-R-4L
    From Timmy, Dear Santa, I want my best friend to stop hurting himself and could you please send me a little brother for Christmas, I'm so lonely...
    Sluvious-Dear Timmy, don't worry your best friend doesn't even like you and he only hurts himself to make you feel sorry for him, as for sending you a little brother, send me your Mom and I'll see what I can do....Merry Christmas, from Santa
