Hi Santa,

  I know you have some pretty cool connections, but do you have any clout with the weather?  I ask because Arizona is really dry right now & we could use some rain.  Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated.

Dear Parched,

  I actually do not have a connection in the Weather Department.  I seem to have about the same effect that most people have, in that it almost always rains right after I wash and polish the sleigh.  A few years ago, when California was in their recent drought, we flew the sleigh down to the Sierra's and gave'r a good wash.  We even waxed it!  And sure enough it started to rain and even snowed a bunch.  We were pretty pleased to see that we were helping but then the Oroville Dam started to have big issues, so we went home. That one turned out ok but we are more careful about meddling now.

  Try washing your favorite car or truck.  It always seems to work well for us!  I think we just over did it a bit.  Maybe we'll sneak down to the Flagstaff area one night real soon and give it another chance.  Bluedolph love Flagstaff area, so maybe we'll try it there.

  Let me know how your efforts turn out!

  All my love, Santa!
