Memo from santa

To: All Concerned

From: Santa Claus

I regret to inform you that, effective immediately, I will no longer serve
the States of Georgia, Florida, Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas on Christmas Eve.


Due to the overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local 209. As part of the new and better contract I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies so keep that in mind.

However, I'm certain that your children will be in good hands with your local replacement, who happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus.

His side of the family is from the South Pole. He shares my goal of delivering toys to all the good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences between us.
Differences such as:

1. There is no danger of the Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: "These toys insured by Smith and Wesson."
2. Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave an RC cola and pork rinds [or a moon pie] on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn't smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff though, so please have an empty spit can handy.

3. Bubba Claus' sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin' coon dogs instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer one time, and Blitzen's head now overlooks Bubba's fireplace.
4. You won't hear "On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen.." when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead, you'll hear, "On Earnhardt, on Andretti, on Elliott and Petty."

5. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" has been replaced by "Yee Haw!" And you also are likely to hear Bubba's elves respond, "I her'd dat!"

6 As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus' sleigh does have a Yosemite Sam safety triangle on the back with the words "Back Off."

7. The usual Christmas movie classics such as "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" will not be shown in your negotiated viewing area. Instead, you'll see "Boss Hogg Saves Christmas" and "Smokey and the Bandit IV" featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of state patrol cars crashing into each other.
And Finally,

8. Bubba Claus doesn't wear a belt. If I were you, I'd make sure you, the wife, and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put presents under the tree.
Sincerely Yours,

Santa Claus

That's pretty good. Glad I'm not in one of those states!

You're making me miss my heritage. I moved to Maine from Georgia a couple years back... mmm moon pies and pork rinds...

Edit:

Is it just me or are post #s not increasing? I've been stuck at 169 for over a day now.

Wow. Talk about culture shock. I bet Maine is a bit different that Georgia.

I guess it's not a good thing that I'm in a state that's surrounded by three of those states... but at least it's not in the list!

I guess us Cajuns aren't "Southern Enuf" for Bubba down here

Either that or nobody gives a hoot about us...

hmm...

Nah, I like Maine better actually. I grew up in Atlanta suburbs and my parents were from New England, so I was never really into the southern thing. Although, pork rinds are awesome :P I was wondering if they sold them up here the other day actually.
