Subject: DEMAND: Spread Holiday Cheer to Other Holidays and Mythical Characters\u2026 OR
\nELSE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention All Elf University Personnel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It remains a constant source of frustration that Elf University and the entire operation at the
\nNorth Pole focuses exclusively on Mr. S. Claus and his year-end holiday spree. We URGE
\nyou to consider lending your considerable resources and expertise in providing merriment,
\ncheer, toys, candy, and much more to other holidays year-round, as well as to other mythical
\ncharacters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, we have expressed our frustration at your lack of willingness to spread your
\ncheer beyond the inaptly-called \u201cHoliday Season.\u201d There are many other perfectly fine
\nholidays and mythical characters that need your direct support year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not accede to our demands, we will be forced to take matters into our own hands.
\nWe do not make this threat lightly. You have less than six months to act demonstrably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

–A Concerned and Aggrieved Character<\/p>\n\n\n\n
