“I<\/span> wanna<\/span> wish<\/span> you<\/span> a<\/span> merry<\/span> Christmas\/<\/span> I<\/span> wanna<\/span> wish<\/span> you<\/span> a<\/span> merry<\/span> Christmas\/<\/span> I<\/span> wanna<\/span> wish<\/span> you<\/span> a<\/span> merry<\/span> Christmas<\/span> from<\/span> the<\/span> bottom<\/span> of<\/span> my<\/span> ha-art!<\/span> Feliz<\/span> navidad….”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

While some of you might think that Christmas is just for celebrating the birth of Christ and his glorious entry into this sinful world of ours, there is actually something else that ought to be celebrated today: the upcoming of another EXTRA SPECIAL DAY – JANUARY 14TH!!!<\/p>\n

So what happens on January 14th, you ask? If you have to ask, then you deserve 24 lashes of koboko. But because today is Christmas, there shall be no whipping. January 14th is the day that yours truly, (Yes, the Verastic Vera) turns plus one. You see, I wasn’t gonna come into this sinful world, but I thought, “If Jesus could do it, then why not me?”<\/p>\n

So on one fateful night, thirty-eight weeks before Jan 14th 19XX, I was conceived. I know it was night because back then, they only used to have sex at night. I was placed in my mommy’s womb, and since then, she has been the proudest woman alive. Why not, if not? I am everything she longed for and more, if I do say so myself. Certain events occured while mommy was pregnant with me – like the day she was getting off the bus in London (or was it Russia?) and the bus driver moved before mom had completely stepped off, so mom went tumbling down – with me inside her! Mom and dad have always used that event as an explanation for why I turned out the way I have – whatever that means. I will take that as a compliment.<\/p>\n

There is also the fact that I began to drink alcohol when I was a baby. It’s a miracle I don’t care for alcohol now. Yes, apparently, whenever I cried too much and dad couldn’t take it anymore, he put a few drops of alcohol in my mouth. That often sent me to sleep. He still hasn’t apologized for that. I wonder if it’s too late to sue him for child abuse. But I digress…<\/p>\n

On this wonderful Christmas day, you ought to be thinking about what you will give the Verastic Vera for her birthday. Being the selfless, kind-hearted person that I am, I have compiled a list for you – complete with a mailing address! Please, pick any gift from the list below and send it to me. P. O. BOX 7893.
