Some might say it's the fat guy in the funny red and white suit. Others still call him "Christmas' Old Man". Isn't that a pity. I think no one knows who my good old pal Santa Claus really is. I'm an expert on the subject so let me tell you who he really is and what it is he in fact does.

On the night of the 24th of December it is him, Santa, that piles up a stack of all the toys I ask for in my list, right under the Chritmas tree me and my mom decorate so carefully and joyfully. He's the guy with the toy factory up in the North pole. He's the happy old chum riding a flying sleigh led by Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. I know Santa is what I say he is because I heard him myself land his sleigh on the roof of my house and just as well with my own eyes saw the empty glass of milk and all the Oreo cookie crumbs he left by the chimney. Santa is fat, I know, because he loves sweets and most of all Oreo chocolate cookies. Who doesn't?

Everybody thinks Santa makes all the toys in the world in his factory up in the North Pole and that he has a whole lot of elves to help him make them. If this is what you think, well, let me say you're once again wrong! Santa's factory makes wooden blocks for babies, it makes rocking horses for bigger babies and still more wooden stuff for still bigger babies like me. But super stuff like Playstations, remote-control cars, CDs and walkmans, like the one he got me last Christmas? No way Jose! Santa is a good guy but is not as talented as we may all think. Some of the stuff he gives away, he buys. Yes, you heard right. He buys it. This is good news because now you know you can get much more than just wooden blocks and a lousy rocking horse this Xmas. Let me tell you what's on my Xmas list this year:

Number 1: a Playstation 2 one of my friends says is just so much better than my Playstation 1.

Number 2: A new 5000 dollar mountain bike I saw over at Giant on Huanghe road. I can't wait to ride my new bike this coming Spring!

Number 3: All of Jay Zhou's CDs. I know finding them all together should be a piece of cake for Santa. Santa's got the right connections you know…

And finally number 4: A brand new Sony robot they say can play with me, do my bed and maybe even my homework! Who knows right? Sony's stuff is kind of amazing sometimes.

Anyway. Now that you know Santa and of what he actually does, wait no more! Write down your Xmas list. You never know. He might surprise you this Xmas.

Oh…yes, and don't forget to fill that stocking with Oreos and leave a tall glass of milk by the chimney. If you don't have a chimney, the sofa table should do.

Thank you.
