Hey Jason- I'm finally on my Christmas break (from two jobs back to back) and had time to pen another one. This one is from an actual FB conversation when my daughter tried to tell her daughter Selah the *truth* about Santa but ended up killing him off instead. It's called R.I.P. Santa: to tell or not to tell- that's a good question. Stay tuned...

Hi jason,

I am working on a feature film that is helping a great cause as well as offering people the opportunity to get involved
with the film. I think this would be a great story to write about and tell people. I just wanted to pass this along. …Or If it’s not too much trouble, pledge on something (they are offering great things!) and if you can also please pass this along to your friends.

If I can help you out with anything or the production can help you with anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Here is the link for the film:
