I’m inspired by The Serendipitous Librarian‘s entry on what she wants for Christmas and by an NPR story about Hard Times Letters to Santa, to write my own letter to Santa. Yeah, I know, I should be writing to baby Jesus, but Santa needs a little latino love, too.
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is ina, I live in Norwood, MA, and my behavior this year has been “average” or as expected. [Growing up, I never felt comfortable telling Santa that I had been a good girl, as that was a highly subjective term and I didn’t want to seem like I was lying!] This Christmas, I would like to ask you to bring me the following:
- A fun and joyful time with my immediate and extended family during the holidays
- To continue to give my family and myself great health and positive attitudes
- The strength to stand on my own two feet emotionally, and not crumble at every undesirable situation
- A job for my jobless friends, and a better job for those who are unhappy in their current one
- The brains to figure out alternate sources of income and the perseverance to carry it through
- Happiness for my friends [This is quite the selfish request, because when they are happy I am happy]
- As for physical things, you can always check my Amazon Wishist 🙂
I know that list is quite corny, but the truth of the matter is that I have been really happy for the past couple of months and there isn’t much I need (way to jinx my own life), so I just want things to stay the same (except for bringing happiness and jobs to my friends).
I hope Santa can pull some strings and make these things happen.
To all of you a merry Christmas and a very happy new year 🙂
ina
PS: Realization: happiness makes for some really boring posts, doesn’t it?? lol!
