Santa Spam

Santa Claus spammed me today. The subject line claimed I could receive personalized letters from the North Pole. While tempted to open it, I had a sneaking suspicion that the real Saint Nick would never spam the good girls and boys of the world. One would think he'd be much too busy checking lists, supervising elves and feeding reindeer to be bothering with email.

Then I had a horrible thought.

Maybe this message was from the real Santa. Maybe he already made his list, checked it twice and accidentally marked me down as naughty instead of nice. Maybe, to save time and money this year, he isn't putting coal in stockings, but is spamming inboxes instead. If that's the case, I hope there's time to let him know there's been a mix up. Do you think Santa's list has an opt-out option?
