I want to tell you about an incident I just experienced. I saw something like this on my way home from the grocery store. A red 911. The headlights were on and there was a sack next to it (actually, I could have carelessly passed by, but I was surprised to see such a brand car around here), and when I got closer to the car, I saw that the sack was full of gifts. What say you? Do you think Santa is real? Do you think Santa Claus is giving out the gifts with a 911 and not with magical flying deer as we read in books and movies? And by the way, I do not doubt that he also likes to surf on the snow with a surfboard.
