I love how “HAPPY” has an underlined tone of “F- YOU”.

Any note that admits to being “happy” on the New Year is my kind of note. Particularly because “happy” is code for “fuck you, I will be asleep and and hungover and don’t you dare call me at home because I plan on taking those eight reindeer for a joy ride at midnight to ring in the new year and I do not want to teach you tennis at eight in the morning.” Only the wealthy can be passive aggressive like this!

Well, 400 elves and s0me guy in a red suit,
Maybe!
8 raindeer–nope, sorry raindeer, I refuse service on Jan. 1st or any other day. And if you have a red nose, you’re really “outta here”.

Why is everything in caps, except for the word ‘of’?

Honesty *is* the best policy. Although if they really believe they will be catering for Santa, his elves & the reindeer, they may already be drunk.

As Rudolph’s number 1 fan I am outraged that he isn’t being included in the catered affair. Enough already with the “we won’t let him play in any reindeer games”. It’s time Rudolph went medieval on their asses, I think.

…and since I want to avoid “mail” on the subject: what the hell is an “INCONVIENANCE”?
I also like the fact that they left most of the punctuation out entirely but had no trouble adding superscript to the dates. They’ve made lazy writing into an art form!

Word automatically adds superscript to dates.
I assume this is a restaurant of some kind. At least I hope so, other wise I have some questions regarding HOW they intend to “service” my hangover ….

We would like to apologize in advance if you come in on New Year’s Day and our breath smells like a brewery.

Does this mean that Mrs. Claus was home alone at the North Pole for three days?

Santa does Christmas parties just like A. G. Edwards.
The top 400 producers get a catered holiday extravaganza, and the thousands of other worker-bees get a tree ornament.

Not that he is medieval, but then neither are the other guys.
Damn! What happened? That was meant to nest after WP’s #13. Damn new-fangled machines…

Back story: Wilson’s is just a little cafe on Bondi Road, near Bondi Beach in Sydney. They even left a table with milk and cookies out for Santa!

It’s nice that Wilson’s is open on Jan 1. If I were an Aussie, I’d be so “happy” to get right over there for some greasy eggs, greasy home fries, and greasy coffee. I feel better just thinking about it.
