14 DAY TRIAL // With less than a month until Christmas, Santa's mailbox is getting full with letters from all over the world, only this year one kid tried to make the red guy's job easier by sending him the Amazon link from his desired present instead of boring details about the product's description.
The kid's letter read “Dear Santa, How are you? I'm good. Here is what I want for Christmas. [indecipherable Amazon code].” Besides the fact that the kid's wish is set in stone, his handwriting is quite hard to decipher, Santa will need a code-breaker to find out the child's expected gift.
The letter was posted on Twitter by @Gequeoman and quickly became viral when people started trying to discover the mystery present included in the giant online retailer's code. It doesn't get more 2013 than this, and it is kind of painful to think that a kid actually wrote that.
Instead of making Santa's job easier, providing the URL code for the gift, the kid may have given his parents a bit of a struggle finding out what the link holds. Luckily for them, a bunch of Reddit users cracked the code and revealed a $20 (€14.75) Kid Galaxy Morphibians Killer Whale truck toy with remote control.
Actually, it is not so surprising that in a world where almost everything is tech-filled, children start asking Santa for an email address to make things even easier. Kids used to work towards making the sweetest “Dear Santa” letter, but it seems this is not a requirement anymore.
Hope is not lost yet, at least not as long as some children write touching letters to Santa asking for toys, not for themselves, but for those “children who don't have any.” One of this year's most heart-warming letters came from a 10-year-old boy who asked Santa for just one thing, a cure for his father's deadly brain tumor and that will make him “the happiest boy in the whole world.”
