What Events Are Planned This Week in Pahrump

Dear Santa –

We have been very good this year. The People of Pahrump, Nevada, have shown astonishing flashes of kindness, generosity, and caring. We ask for an early Christmas present, please. We need more time this week to fit in all of the activities we would like to attend. Please see itemized schedule below, and you’ll see what we’re talking about. We have community theater performances, Christmas benefit shows, a masquerade party, train rides, a Cowboy Christmas party, canvas and ornament painting sessions, and musical performances we cannot miss. We love you, Santa! Thanking you in advance.

P.S. We promise extra energy drinks and protein-packed sandwiches for you, and extra carrots, apples, and alfalfa for the reindeer.
