Santa, I was going to comment and say Thank You for your gentle reminder to make Christmas meaningful in a non-materialistic manner, but after reading Writer Dad's mom's comment, I have to say I'm with her on this one. Classic. Merry Christmas to everyone! Kool Aids last blog post..What do you like?

This year, Santa, we are extremely low on funds. I have only asked for one thing and a modestly priced one at that. I think I am more excited about getting this one thing than I was when the boxes under my tree were ridiculously numerous. I am looking forward to time spent with my family and enjoying what we make out of the day without all the presents that has taken center stage before.

" Give to your children the things that do not require a wait in line: your time, love, and genuine thought..." Okay. We ADULTS might understand how priceless that is.... But try to explain that to a hyper six-year old who just wants TOYS TOYS TOYS! :-D Friars last blog post..“Big City” Dining

Oh dear, I do believe that Santa’s malaise comes from what we are all feeling this year…a little burned out and disillusioned with the economy and the condition of our world. He probably had to lay off half of his elf workforce and does not want to outsource to China because of all the toxins in their toys. Reindeer food has gone up 30% and his huge North Pole spread is in danger of bank repo. Global warming is setting in and he let his flood insurance lapse.
I think that Ma Kringle needs to throw some bubble bath into the hot tub, break out the cranberry martinis and give old Kris an attitude adjustment. Nothing like a good snow job! Seriously, I am all for the sugarplum ideals of the true spirit of Christmas, quality family time and homespun goodness. I cannot count the number of handmade gifts or flea market finds I have given over the years, but lets not take the exuberant feeding frenzy out of Christmas morning. Kids look forward to this all year. Lots of stuff is fun, even if it is ten things from the 99cent store. I know that I am running the risk of being stoned by pieces of coal for my bad little material girl outlook, but I’ll just have to take that coal, glitter it and make a necklace for myself! (love ya, Sean)

Santa, after reading this I come to the conclusion that no matter how many toys you deliver this year, your sack will always be full to bursting.

A fine message indeed.

ho, ho, ho Santa and I agree…sometimes the kiddos turn out to be great elves…we decided several years ago that we would share our talents on Christmas with each other, so this year we are painting in oils, scrapbooking our pile of Christmas celebration pictures, writing poems and making masks. We know you will fill our stockings with magic and oranges and we will enjoy cooking our feast together – yum yum…we gave away gifts to 3 families in need and supplied all the goodies for their feast and felt the joy.

And guess what, it never snows here, but today we are close to getting 12 inches…what an amazing site…cross country skiing to work and back! What a treat
Thanks Santa…but please let the travelers be safe in their journeys..

Hi Santa, all I want for Christmas this year is more Moleskine notebooks to scribble away in. Is that doable? I mean come on, they are only a few bucks a piece and I can carry them around in my pocket, and even better yet, they can be bought with a few coins and some $1 bills. No need for plastic here. Just whatever you do, don't leave me coal again like last year. I have been nice this year, I think. Oh, and BTW, I love you you talk in the old English with thous and thys and such. I will be leaving a tray of snowmen poop and puppy food for you (marshmellows and chocolate covered chex mix) becaue I know you will be tired of all the cookies by the time you get around to my neck of the woods. Thanks. Sals last blog post..Deck the Halls
