Did you get your stocking full of BRS Coal yet?
Before I forget I need to remind you to get in touch with that website that had 2 female blue throats and stupid Santa backordered a Male for your address & stuff. Probably have to coordinate with them to make sure you are notified and ready when they get one in?
I let Santa Know but I don't know if that guy had time to forward this sad news?
Let this be a lesson, It's ok to be bad most of the year?

Yessir. I sent a bunch of BRS Charcoal when I spoke with Santa and he reported that you were on the Naughty List.
Then Santa updated me and apologized for the mistake and so I sent you the Bucket List fish which is now on back order.
I sent you a pm with the order number, not sure when Pete’s Aquarium will get a male from their wholesalers but it should have your name on it.
Good luck
