Letter To Santa Claus

Dear Santa,

Instead of having your elves create toys for the children and enjoyable gifts for adults, why not help save the planet while maintaining your bringer-of-great-things reputation. I'm willing to bet that your suit has become a stifling furnace with the rising temperatures up there at the pole. Elves coming to work in shorts, pool side parties, sun-bathing, etc. That is definitely not the traditionalized Christmas season that I envision.
Have your elves swap those wooden horses for recycled plastic furniture. Exchange those light-up doodads for low power-consumption LED light bulbs. With just a few VERY simple changes across the globe, we may not be able to alter the trend of global warming but we can make our world a better place for future generations.
Maybe after you've done this for a couple years, toys will become popular and relevant again. When the ice settles.

- Eric
