Blogmas Day 12: My Grown Up Letter to Santa
Greetings from the North Pole! Oh wait, that’s you! Sorry, I’m trying to make baby, it’s cold outside jokes.
Let’s try this again.
Dear Santa,
I hope this letter finds you well and warm. Hug the missus for me! How was your year, you know, politics aside? Mine was a mix of highs and lows. I got to see my husband absolutely crush at Masters Swimming Nationals, and we spent a week with my in-law’s pups in sunny Florida. My husband and I both lost our grandmas this year, and I’d be lying if I didn’t tell ya I wish I could ask for one more giggly phone conversation with my Suzie.
In a normal letter, this would be the part where I say, “Enough about me! Tell me about you!” But, that’s not the nature of writing letters to you, is it? Maybe you should turn the tables for Christmas in July - make it all about you? Have the elves workshop that.
Anyway, I best get to listing. I’ll try to keep it short!
If you’ve got any rapport with whoever’s in charge, please tell them not to ban TikTok. All my devices track me anyway, and it’s the happiest place on the internet. A place where generations of doom scrollers can come together in celebration of their shared interests… cats and people singing in parking garages.
Despite my dairy sensitivity, I’ve been sneaking Crumbl cookies, but in the interest of clear skin, vegan Crumbl cookies in 2025, yeah?
Okay, are you able to grant motivation? I’ve been working on a writing project for the better part of a decade, and like, wouldn’t it be so cool if somehow you helped me finish it in the new year?
Abs. I want to wake up with abs and pants that fit. Doesn’t seem like a tall order to me!
Listen, I know Taylor has to be tired but like…. if she just SURPRISE! added about a dozen dates to an extended Eras Tour and I was able to snag 4-10 tickets, that would be magical! I’m assuming your people are in touch with her people, right?
I’d really like to be successful at curling my hair.
Most of all, Santa, I wish that everyone could experience the beauty of Christmas, and that you’d keep this magic alive and well with me!
