1225 Mistletoe Lane 

My name is Lenny Castellaneta and I'm the author of a Christmas book entitled 1225 Mistletoe Lane. Please allow me a few minutes to tell you about this holiday tale.
A unique blend of sentimentality, humor and romance, 1225 Mistletoe Lane is a genuine feel-good story that appeals to kids from one to ninety-two... males as well as females, elves and talking reindeer alike! In the words of one Amazon.com customer, "... a contemporary mixture of It's a Wonderful Life, Back to the Future, and Somewhere in Time."
My publisher and I are planning a thorough email campaign once we get some celebrity endorsements of 1225 Mistletoe Lane. Santa, himself, has not yet read it, but Mrs. Claus read the galleys and has said some very positive things about it. Frosty the Snowman also loved it, but not having any index fingers, well... kind of hard for him to type a review. In the meantime, please click on my Amazon link to check out other critics who've enjoyed it!

Dear Santa,
Can ya get me a new publicist for Christmas? My current one isn't doing much to promote my book, 1225 Mistletoe Lane! And while you're at it, do ya know Tim Allen? People tell me my book would make a good Christmas movie, and Mr. Allen seems to make an awful lot of Christmas movies%u2026
Thanks Santa,
Lenny

Dear Lenny,
I received your (above) letter the other day and decided to do some research into the matter. So I called your publisher, and was told that you don't have a publicist. From what they told me, YOU do all of the marketing and promotion for 1225 Mistletoe Lane. Because you weren't honest with me, I can not honor your request.
Santa
p.s. BTW, contrary to your note of 12/24/05, you DIDN'T bake those cookies. The Keebler Elves are personal friends of mine, and I know their work when I taste it!

11/20/06
Dear Santa,
I wasn't dishonest. I merely neglected to state that the publicist, with which I'm displeased, is me. And re: the cookies - let's review my note%u2026
Dear Santa,
From me to you.
Baked with love,
Lenny
"From me to you" - the cookies were, in fact, a gift from me to you. "Baked with love" - As I understand it, the Keebler Elves bake all of their products with love. So ya see, Santa? I wasn't dishonest; ya merely misinterpreted my letter.
BTW, I heard you're havin' some labor disputes with the elves' union. I can help ya with that. I'm Italian and grew up in N.Y., so I know a guy who knows a guy%u2026
Lenny
p.s. If ya reconsider the publicist thing, how 'bout hookin' me up with YOUR guy? It's not even Thanksgiving, yet for the last 2 months, I see your face everywhere I go. Or how 'bout Borat's guy? Borat seems to be everywhere these days, too!

11/22/06
Dear Lenny,
You know a guy who knows a guy who can do WHAT?! You can't possibly be suggesting what I THINK you're suggesting! Didn't you learn anything in all those years of Catholic school and being an altar boy%u2026 besides how to steal wine from the vestibule closet when the priest wasn't looking?!
Santa

Dear Santa,
All I'm sayin' is that it's very remote up there at the North Pole. Very easy for some of the trouble-makin' elves to, let's say%u2026 go ice fishin' and fall into the hole. Accidentally, of course.
Lenny
p.s. Re: the altar wine - I didn't steal it. The priest gave it to me as a thank you. The church was havin' problems with the truckers' union that delivers the wine. And I was able to help 'cause I knew a guy who knew a guy%u2026

11/26/06
Dear Lenny,
You knew a guy who knew a guy in 8th grade?! John Gotti didn't know a guy who knew a guy in 8th grade!! Where did you go to school, Our Lady Of The Sopranos?! And BTW, if you're so well connected, why do you need me to find you a publicist?
Got a news flash for you, pal. Santa doesn't need anyone's help dealing with unions. I think you're getting me mixed-up with Frosty the Snowman - that wimp who melts at the first sign of heat. Don't forget, I slide down chimneys for a living. You think I couldn't arrange to have a few whining elves disappear behind the bricks of some of those fireplaces if I wanted to? I may appear jolly, but just like Oprah, I'm ruthless when I have to be. How do you think we've both stayed on top for so long?
Stop bothering me 'cause if you don't, well%u2026 I, too, know a guy who knows a guy!
Santa
