Dear Santa

I remember writing to Santa when I was a little girl.  I can see the lined notebook paper supplied by my grandmother and remember sitting at the table trying to get it just right.  Ah the innocence of a child - I wish I still had that today.  Really,  I wish I still had copies of those letters - they are a part of my history and one I'd love to share with my daughter.  I know that when the divine little q starts writing letters to Santa - I will be saving those letters so that when she is 43 - she will look back at them and smile.

But for today, I am going to write a new letter to Santa - one that might make me look back and smile in a month or two . . and one that I am sure q will enjoy one day.

so here goes:

Dear Santa,

Fair to say I have been a little naughty and a little nice. Not saying that I need coal in my stocking but not thinking that you should deliver the Volvo XC90 on Christmas morning with a bow either.  How about we meet in the middle? I'd like some new perfume - Serge Lutens Daktura Noir if you can get it.  I'd also like a charcoal grey turtleneck and a black turtle neck.  I am good on jewelry, books, clothes, shoes and underwear.  I have decided to lay low on scrapbooking supplies - so no need to raid Michael's, A.C. Moore or Hobby Lobby on my behalf.  But any chance you can work with the man upstairs to get a Sonic in my neighborhood?  A girl needs a Route 44 Cherry Limeade to start her day right - you know. I feel compelled to ask for world peace - because it seems like the right thing to ask for - but we both know that there are a whole lot of other folks we need to engage in that process.  So whatever you can make happen on that front - would appreciate it.  Do you really want cookies and milk the night of the 24th? Or would you prefer a hot toddy?  I can even swing some nice champagne - again - say the word. I hate to be greedy - but I wouldn't mind another baby or two. Motherhood is the best thing I have EVER done and the chance for one more bite at the apple would be appreciated.  I am flexible - a trip to Ethiopia or the Fertility clinic is fine by me.  See - not too heavy a lift - I think you and your workshop can help me out - thank you in advance.

Love, 

Miss K
