so this is why lotteries exist

I am not a rich woman (yet), so I usually have to limit myself to a couple hundred dollars' worth of Santa investments every year, at the absolute maximum. Usually that means one big piece and a few smaller pieces. Last year, I admittedly went a little crazy. But this year I'm back on budget.

Which means, sadly, that I won't be able to afford my dream piece:

More's the pity. One day.

Actually, there's a piece I'd like even better, though Dennis Brown swears he'll never do one that complex again. I'll have to see if I can find my Santa Claus Magazine from that year and scan it in.
