I thought this was just another XMAS message, until I saw the last line.

Subject: Joke: Santa of the NSA?

Sung to the tune of...
                       "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

               You better watch out,
               You better not cry,
               You better not pout,
               I'm telling you why,
               Santa Claus is tapping
               Your phone.

               He's buggin your room,
               He's reading your mail,
               He's keeping a file
               And runnin' a tail
               Santa Claus is tapping
               Your phone

               He hears you in the bedroom
               Surveills you out of doors
               And if that doesn't get the goods
               Then he'll use provocateurs.

               So you mustn't assume
               That you are secure
               On Christmas Eve
               He'll kick in your door
               Santa Claus is tapping
               Your phone
