Christmas Recount

Christmas Recount
Ho Ho Ho,
"Hello out there all people of the world."
This is Santa and I just wanted to let you know that Christmas
may be a little late this year.
See after checking all the boxes and tallying them up, I found
some problems with the results.

The first result showed:
428,534,120 Good
428,523,119 Bad

The second result showed:
428,534,118 Good
428,523,121 Bad

So you see, I can't, with good faith, go out and deliver
presents while knowing I could have made a mistake. Maybe
Little Johnny was good for once, then again, maybe not.

So, I have enlisted the help of all my elves and the Mrs. To
help do a recount. We hope to have this finished up by 5pm
on the 24th of December, but there is a possibility that it
might take longer. You see the tally cards were not quite clear
to me, although I made them my-self, I forgot what they
meant.

You know, Good...and Bad??? And the check marks I used
were not all the same, some went left, some right, some were
just a mark. some went through both boxes, and some didn't
even have much of a mark on them. I leave it up to them to
decide what I meant.

So if you wake up on Christmas morning, and there are no
presents under your tree, at least you can tell the kids the
story. Thank you for your patience and understanding in these
times,

--Santa
