I haven’t written a letter to Santa in years. I quite miss it. Hours of looking through the Argos catalogue at toys I wanted, assessing the prices as to what Santa could afford, circling, cutting out, ripping, tearing and trying to write in my neatest handwriting as to why I deserved the present to the value of around £20.
The letter was of course then checked by my parents, for spelling and neatness non the less, and then I would help light the fire, carry the coal and wood in, sprinkle a little sugar on it (that was always the fun part) and hold newspaper across it to help it start up. When it calmed down to a nice flame, I would put my letter towards the chimney and up it would fly out the top and travel on it’s way to Santa.
Technology has changed a lot since I was little, so I’m sure if I put it on this blog his little cyber elves will be sure to find it.
Dear Santa,
I’ve been a little bit naughty this year. I’ve done a lot of things I shouldn’t have done, but none by intention. I blame the alcohol. The alcohol should be on the naughty list, and I should be on the nice list. That is how this should work. I’m sure even you get a bit cheeky after all that egg nog and mulled wine.
I fell in love with someone I shouldn’t have, but thats Cupid’s fault right? No, not your reindeer, that little guy in the nappies with the bow and arrow.
I’m not asking for much this year, not even something to the value of £20.
This year I would like no arguing at Christmas, no attention seeking and tantrums from my sister, and no brother-in-law to be shoving iced cakes down my expensive dress. No mother screaming at me to do everything because no one else can be bothered, no father asking for the receipt for his Christmas presents and no one at the pub asking me how I’m getting on in London hoping to hear not well. And no one to ask why I haven’t got some charming boyfriend yet. Especially not my ex.
I would like everyone to be able to be civil to each other just for the Christmas period, then we can all go back to our own little happy lives again.
Christmas will never be as good as it was when I was little, too many people who made Christmas what it was have passed away. The only thing that would make Christmas great again would be for my own little children running around bringing back the Christmas spirit, but that’s a while off yet. So for now, peace and harmony is all I’m asking for Santa
Hope you enjoy your cookies and milk

P.S Merry Christmas
