Dreaming of Christmas past...

About this time last year:

Family friend: What did you tell Santa you wanted for Christmas?

Ape #2: An anaconda.

FF: What are you going to do with an anaconda?

Ape #2: It will protect me from an alligator.

FF: Dude, you live in Idaho. There are no alligators.

Ape #2: Well, then he won't have to work too hard.

FF: (turning to Ape #1) What about you? What did you ask for?

Ape #1: A different brother.
