Case 42: Turnabout Boredom

[little_thief]

Y'know, it's weird that I'd even be thinking this right now, but it's almost too quiet around here lately.  Has anyone had anything strange happen to them at that Christmas village or whatever?  Nothing weird about the Santa sitting there listening to peoples' wishes?  I haven't really gone over there to see what it's all about just yet.  Anybody have any ideas?

Yeah, I felt it too. That was pretty weird.

It doesn't feel right. And the post office is closed, too...

You think it's related?

There's a few other possibilities, but I think the most obvious one is that the Postman and the Santa we're writing to is one and the same.

...Yeah. [hurray for awkward silence] There's only six more days until Christmas.

Maaaaaaaaaaaybe I should write a second letter.

What will that fix? It'll just make things worse.

I can ask Santa to ignore my first letter!

[hispalette.livejournal.com]

I don't know if he'd be that considerate.

But it's worth a try, right?

I was thinking that opening the mailboxes up and taking the letters back would be better.

You think that'll really work?
