Dear Santa, well played! Well played, indeed! You even fooled Chuck Billy. But as your little helper, I know exactly what you did! I admit at first I was confused about why you came to personally install our new gutter guards. Sure it made sense that back in December 2020, that you installed the rain gutters as a Christmas gift for Mom. But why interrupt your summer vacation for a belated Mother’s Day gift?

Well Chuck Billy isn’t the only detective who can put together the clues in this family! You were here to avoid the supply chain and fuel issues to deliver our Christmas gifts early! You must have seen how disappointed Dad was when supply chain issues prevented him from giving Mom the perfect gift, and wanted to avoid frowns on Christmas morning. And with the cost of magic hay to feed the reindeer rising every day, I can understand you wanting to lighten the load of your sleigh on Christmas Eve to make it more efficient. Hence the early visit here to hide our gifts on the roof, under the guise of installing gutter guards!

Thank you! Your thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed. I promise your secret is safe with me, and I will keep Chuck Billy off the roof. This way you can return in December and surprise us by placing the presents under the tree.

Love your little helper and friend, Asa
