Dear Santa,

I'm just a simple cowboy who wants a housekeeper for Christmas. What I don't want is a wife! But ever since my ranch hands placed an ad I've been up to my neck in wives. There are lots of desperate women in Wyoming—you wouldn't believe the stunts some of them have tried!

Leslie Hibbits is the worst of all. When she showed up at my doorstep, my kids took one look at her and cried, "Mommy," the hands whooped, "Home cookin'" and I can't stop thinking about her. I thought I had my hands full keeping my twins out of trouble, but that's nothing compared to keeping Leslie from lassoing me to the alter!
