OfflineDear Santa Claus,
I know it is only October, but I wanted to beat the holiday rush and get you my list extra early this year. I have worked extra hard at being good, even though at times, especially in this economy, it has been challenging. There were a few real estate agents, lawyers and bankers that I did get angry with but I did not call them names until after I got in my car or hung up the phone.
I have been good all year but especially this Summer as I shared my real estate deal list with other buyers and sellers. I even have helped bankers with their REOs, so I hope this gets me extra credit!
Thus, can you please reserve me a copy of Mr. Dean Graziosi's new book "Your Town Your Real Estate Profits!". I do not care what color the cover of the book is, but we know that the yellow with red lettering cover or the dark green cover is probably going to be the biggest choice by most of the other boys and girls this year over the blue cover, light green cover, yellow with blue lettering cover or the white covers.
I know Mr. Graziosi's new book will be the top request this year of "hot requests". I know his book will be a bigger request than the "Tickle Me Elmo doll" or those "Cabbage Patch dolls" from year's past. I could imagine how you must have been over loaded with requests during those years, so that is why I wanted to get my letter in to you extra early this year!
If I am lucky enough to get Mr. Dean Graziosi's new book "Your Town Your Real Estate Profits!", I will play nice and share the book with my wife, Stacey. I really appreciate your time and all the past great gifts including the Matchbox cars, the official Chicago Bears team jacket and the Monopoly board game.
P.S. The usual Mrs Field's chocolate chip cookies, the X-Large Sausage Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, and the glass of milk with the 2 liter of Coke Classic soda pop (for the road trip) will be under my tree!
Yours truly,
Indiana-Joe
I absolutely love this post - you are a fantastic writer with humor to boot.
Well if you would like to use me as a reference for Santa please feel free too.
Thanks for reminding me that this book should be on my list too.

Dear Indiana-Joe,
On behalf of Mr. Claus, we acknowledge receipt of your letter to Santa and have entered it into our master toy gift list for 2009. Because of your behavior this past year, your name is on the "good" list. Though we cannot confirm exactly what you will find under the tree Christmas morning, we can tell you that your request is looking very good.
Also, due to the quality of your yearly night-time snack for the jolly ol' fellow, you can expect your house will be one of the first he visits on his route.
Thank you again for your letter. And as we say here in the North Pole, "you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town."
Best regards,

That is too funny!! Joe, you should frame it and send it to Dean for christmas lol. I think he'd appreciate it and hang it on his office wall. really.
Joe, that is great!!!
Sometimes I feel like Dean is Santa Claus with all the gifts he gives us. (Course he's much thinner and younger than Santa, so I know better.) I think you'll probably get your wish. How could anyone resist a letter like THAT!!! hahaha. You'll probably get a book in BOTH your favorite colors with all that bribery under the tree! (and don't be surprised if you find some fellow DGers sneakin' into your house Christmas Eve to munch on that famous pizza!!! LOL)
P.S. Molly the Elf, wish our mail service was as fast as YOURS!!
or was that an automated e-mail response?? heehee

Thats is hysterical!
There is nothing better than laughter....thanks for that post Joe!
You had me cracking up. Remember Santa believes in teamwork, therefore change those Is' to Wes' and include the whole gang of DGers LOL. Love your post Joe, you always keep us motivated despite everything. We needed this. Thanks so much.
