Wendy gets into the Christmas Spirit: And writes her letter to Santa

Dear Santa

I know it’s been some time since I wrote you a letter so please forgive my tardiness. You’ll just have to take my word for it that I have been good this year. I know you have a lot of children to keep on an eye on so I’m probably not first on your naughty or nice list. Anyway, take it from me, I’m very nice most of the time except when people drive stupidly in front of me, take a carpark that I was waiting for, brake suddenly, drive well below the speed limit, or make any sudden or unexpected moves that cause me to have to engage in defensive driving accompanied by some light swearing.

Anyhoo you’re a busy fellow I’m sure on this day before Christmas so here’s my list of things I want.

1. World Peace
2. To understand the Carbon trading scheme
3. To understand Middle East politics – both historical context and contemporary situation
4. And end to poverty in all worlds – First, Developing and Third
5. Autumnal weather the whole year round. Summer really gives me the pip. I’m guessing this is somehow related to global warming so if you could talk to the right people it would be much appreciated. It might just be the solution we are all looking for.
6. Tony Abbott never to become Prime Minister (not sure if you have this power but I thought I’d put it in anyway)

And now the things for myself
1. A Steinway grand piano
2. An extra big room on my house for the piano.
3. Not to have to go to work but still get paid.
4. Failing 3 – to win the lotto
5. A weekly reminder to enter the lotto
6. A totally painfree nose piercing. I’m guessing this isn’t possible
7. New clothes whenever I want them
8. Free unlimited internet
9. A new Apple laptop
10. One of those speakery things for my iPhone
11. A new bed.
12. Pay TV that I don’t have to pay for
13. The ability to draw/paint…well.
14. The ability to improvise music…and have it sound good.
15. Room for a microwave in my kitchen.
16. A new stovetop with all the plates working.
17. One of those fancy self-cleaning ovens I just heard about yesterday at work.
18. While you’re at it a self cleaning shower would also be good.
19. Lawn that stays beautifully green but never needs mowing.
20. An prolific organic vegetable garden that never gets any weeds.

Failing any or all of the above, I’ll just have the usual. Soaps, towels, clothes, books, DVDs, gift cards or any other nice surprises that my wonderful family might choose for me.

Best wishes for the big day

Wendy

    I really enjoy your excellent lists!!
    #2 on the first list- totally agree and #5, oh for some cool weather, it's humid here but raining. Far too hot for us.
    I hope Santa brings you lots of lovely presents because you have been Very Good!! Merry Christmas!!

    I fear I may be a compulsive list maker.

    I'm dreaming of a cool Tasmanian Christmas…I hope that's what you get tomorrow!

    I know Santa will find his way to you as well because you have definitely been Nice not Naughty.
    Merry Christmas!
