An Open Letter From Santa Claus

Dear Homeowner,

Ho, ho, ho! It's that time of year again when I'm gearing up the sleigh, getting the reindeer fed and packing my enormous gift bag, all in preparation for visiting your home, just like last year.

Which leads me to this letter.....

Last December 24th, while I was hitting the Pittsburgh route (my favorite area, besides the North Pole, but please don't share that with any other children!) I was more than a little concerned when I parked the sleigh on your roof.

Every year, with a wiggle of my nose and twinkle in my eye, I slide down your chimney and deliver all of the gifts under the tree. By the way, I really liked the new ornaments last year the little one made. They're so precious at that age!

I was filled with trepidation, however, when I saw the condition of your chimney. It was leaning away fromthe foundation of the house and I noticed several loose bricks around the flashing. I must say, it took me a few minutes to decide, even with all of my magical abilities, whether I should venture down or not. I'm glad to say I found the courage to give it a go, as the cookies your daughter left were absolutely delicious!

Before my arrival this year, I would suggest that you place a call to my friends at Keystone Basement Systems. I recommend them very highly and they even offer free consultations regarding not only the condition of your chimney, but your foundation as well. You can reach them at 1-800-771-3244 and they will be happy to schedule a time to stop by and see what's what. And if you speak to Aaron, tell him his old friend Kris Kringle recommended that you call!

OK, I better get going. I have a few more naughty names that I need to add to the nice list that just got in under the wire!

Merry Christmas!
