Grinch Tried To Ruin Christmas for Canadian Children

Grinch Tried To Ruin Christmas for Canadian Children

Millions of children send letters of hope and joy to Santa every year, and every year they sit in joyful anticipation of getting a response from the big guy in the red suit himself. This year Canadian children got a shock as Santa's letters came from the North Pole and where less than joyful…they where just plain obscene. A total of 15 letters have been discovered thus far, all as shocking as the last. One 10 year old boy's letter's PS said: “Your mom s**** d**** and your Dad is gay.” (Canada Post “heartbroken” over naughty Santa letters).

Santa, Christmas, and any holiday alike is the one time I expect to write of nothing other than hope and joy, but alas one bad egg had to go and ruin it for all of us. The Canadian post office has shut down their Santa operations, until further notice, leaving hopeful boys and girls without one piece of Christmas Joy. Lets hope Santa's other helpers can manage to put a smile on their bright faces despite the lack of return letters from Santa.

This so called “rouge elf”, is more like a Grinch to me! The Canadian police are now on the hunt for the Grinch, lets hope he is caught and punished accordingly. However is there anyway one can truly pay for ruining Christmas?
