GOOD NEWS from the CEO: The little boy's mother has located the Optimus Prime Transformer; Santa wished to thank the many offers for help personally, unfortunately, the understandable holiday rush at North Pole City is keeping Santa busy. There is still the matter of the Cabbage Patch doll. The doll is a boy (possibly girl) doll named Lee Carleton. He has short light-colored hair and is wearing a yellow romper. Due to the overwhelming requests for the doll both by phone and by mail, Santa still has a slight problem -- is difficult to determine who inquired about buying the doll first. Santa has decided to sell the doll on a "closed-bid" basis. This means serious bids will be accepted by MAIL ONLY. The bidding will not be disclosed to anyone -- and will be closed Monday December 17 at NOON. Only Santa and the buyer will know what the doll was purchased for. Due to the date being so close to Christmas and the fact that Santa will be traveling abroad delivering presents soon, Santa can only accept international currency -- gold would be best, however, U.S. cash will be accepted.
