have a feeling you might be serious, yet there is such an excellent chance you are just having some fun

Dear Friend, 

Your message made my day! Although I have a feeling you might be serious, yet there is such an excellent chance you are just having some fun ala Colbert and that tickles me! Anyway, Merry Christmas to you, too! 

I want to let you know, though, that we are working to set up a group that we all belong to, and when that happens, your messages will be "booted upstairs" into that group. We are going to call it "The InterMix". 

Best to you,

-- Roger
