Blogmas Day 9: Another Grown Up Letter to Santa
Dear Santa,
I hope this letter finds you prepped and ready for the big show. How are you? How’s the missus? And the elves, what are they up to? My year, you ask? It was a good one! Uh, minus waking up on my birthday with Covid 🫠 (Kyle’s fault). I got to watch Kyle crush Masters Swimming Nationals again, only this time in San Antonia, Texas, which was very cool! In June, we spent a week at the beach with family, which was a great kickoff to summer. And now, the house is cozy and ready for your yearly visit!
Unfortunately for you, this letter is not going to break the mold as far as letters to Santa are concerned, because I have a few requests. For your sake though, maybe Christmas in July should be all about you — have the elves workshop that idea.
Anyway, enough chitchat!
Where did my motivation go? Do you have it? Could you package it up, tie it with a bow, and deliver it to a gym somewhere? Hold it hostage there until I show up at regular intervals to retrieve it? But really, I’ve lost my spark in so many ways and I desperately need it back!
Do you have admin rights to the cloud? Because the iPhone Notes App deleted three years worth of the book I’ve been writing for a decade, and I’m further away from last year’s resolution of finishing said book than ever before. And yeah, I’ve cried about it! Help a girl out! Related: I could use an iPhone for Dummies 101 class.
You have any pull at Netflix? Let’s get season 3 of both Wednesday and My Life with the Walter Boys out into the world ASAP! And while you’re at it, call your friends at Amazon Prime — no, call Jenny Han herself, and tell her all we want for Christmas is to see Belly and Conrad married!!!
Three words: Jeans. That. Fit. There are some pretty lofty requests on this list, but you and I both know this is the loftiest of them all! Men don’t even wear fitted pants, and still yet they have a bajillion sizes to choose from. Women? There’s like 8 freaking sizes and not a one of them was designed to fit humans. What is going on here?
A magical dash to the finish line on completing our very unplanned half bath remodel. Call Wayfair, tell them not to send me broken stuff? Send the elves over to paint? Some combination of holiday goodness that lands me with a usable toilet downstairs before December 25th? I know you can make it happen!
But seriously, and as always, my number one Christmas wish is that you’d keep this magic alive and well with me (and Kyle, you get the point) ♡
