Puro Pedo Magazine

California – On November 27 , 2009 Puro Pedo Magazine received a phone call from a hysterical Chuy Robles, age 12.

Chuy stated, “I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, but when I got to the kitchen Santa Claus was standing right there in front of me wearing sunglasses with a guitar and long curly locks eating the pan dulce y leche we left out for him. I couldn’t believe that Santa was in my house!”

Puro Pedo was first on the scene.

Speaking face to face with Robles and his parents, we asked if Santa said anything to him while he was there. Robles said, “He told me to be ‘smooth’, for Christmas is here, and that he will be watching. If I was good, I would be getting some bad ass gifts and a perhaps a new guitar. He then asked if my mom “Maria, Maria” was here.” It was expressed to us that the alleged Santa, like a black magic woman, vanished in a cloud of smoke.

With the help of our Puro Pedo sketch artist, Jake Prendez, Robles was able to give a full description of the alleged Santa. A sketched visual was placed in front of Robles’ eyes. He said, “I have seen this man before!” With a quick run to his dad’s room, he returned with a CD of Carlos Santana. The face from the sketch and the man on the CD were a match.

Neighbor Patricia Morales said, “I did hear a loud guitar solo coming from that house, but I assumed they were listening to a Santana CD. I love “Oye Como Va…”

The question left unanswered is whether or not Santana Claus exists, and if so, does he only visit Chicanitos?
