Dear Santa

Lets start a Dear Santa list! We can put what we really want for christmas. We already all want world peace and the cure to all the bad illnesses. Lets put the things down that our kids, husbands, significate others wouldn't dream of getting us. I'll start! Chip-n-dales calendar - Ok not the chipmonk disney calendar I want the strippers calendar! Hell i want the strippers! Thats it Santa bring me one of them bad boys! Tall, rugged, muscular with a nice dark tan! Bring em on Santa I'll wear my kitten heels! Next?

Let's see ..... I went through this with my sister just the other day (I have two sisters and we alternate who we buy for from year to year .. spending about $50 on one instead of $25-ish on each). I want a pink blue tooth (to go with my new pink cell phone), an MP3 player (to use at the gym when I start on the nautilus stuff), then on a more realistic note ... 1 gig SD cards for my camera, flash/thumb drive, a couple of DVD's ... I really don't need/want anything big or special! If I want something I tend to buy it for myself. Often times we will buy something BIG that is our Christmas and we really don't have presents to open on Christmas. We haven't done that this year (though the big gift is supposed to be new shocks and an exhaust on his truck .. lol). The cell phone account is in my name and I replaced our phones at Thanksgiving because there was a sale on the RAZR phones so that I could get two (they were buy one get one .. and mine was free which made them BOTH free). For something that would NEVER really happen .... I'd really love to have Santa pay for my gym membership for a year (that would set back about $750) and maybe toss in some sessions with a personal trainer. Oh, and after he does the gym membership .. maybe a year's worth of manicure/fills and pedicures !!! Hugs, Mo

Hi Pammy, I'm back from San Diego & this is a great post!! All I want for Christmas is: a NEW relationship with a male good-looking- Christian kind of man, that would love, laugh, & go walking in the sunset with a nice single, (lot-smaller) loveable teddybear collector woman. Thanks Santa ahead of bringing this individual to my doorstep, work or church!!! Marilyn, the Bearlady

I want Santa to bring me a Purple Dyson Vacuum cleaner and a few more pieces of Anodized aluminum cookware (it's like that Calphalon stuff all the cooking shows use). I know it's stuff for the "house" but it's something I use everyday and will make my life easier. Va

I like getting housewares too! Last year I got a crock pot and a can opener that I love. Maybe as I get older those housewares are more important than they were years ago!

I would love a 4-6 week backpacking trip in Europe, especially Scotland. I need a travel buddy for this too--my DH is not the "travel light and cheap" type! On the real side, I AM finally planning to travel to Europe in 2007. We are flying to Rome in June, and cruising the Greek Islands. This will be my first trip overseas, so I am excited. This counts as Christmas, birthdays, anniversary, and every holiday in between (probably for several years)! Joy

Pammie, As usual, you crack me up. I have hurt my brain trying to think of what I want Santa to bring me and I'm coming up with nothing. I'm truly blessed. I want for nothing. Yesterday, I took a miniature live tree to an elderly woman in a nursing home. I had decorated it and put on little battery operated lights. When I put the tree on her dresser and turned on the lights, the dear, sweet lady clapped and laughed like a small child. Then she teared up and cried while she clutched my hand. I've only seen this woman once before, but as I left, she called out, "I love you." How can I want for anything after that? Along with some of my staff, I adopted a young woman and her children for Christmas this year. This young girl is not yet 18, has children of her own and has been in the foster care system all of her life. She is on her own now with babies to raise while she is still a baby herself. My son is grown, in college and supports himself. He's healthy and smart and handsome. This young woman is just starting out and has the responsibility of two wee ones. How can I want for anything when she needs so much? I've been blessed, Pammie. I couldn't possibly ask for anything that hasn't already been provided. OH, OK.... I could really use a good massage. Hugs, Connie

HMMMM.... what i want it a healthy family, cancer free! then Iwant my niece who is 24 (had a F'd up childhood and suffers with mental illness) and just had a baby to loose her LOOSER boyfriend, and find someone who will adore her and that precious baby. So she can become mentally healthy again! the looser boyfriend told her to quit breast feeding thebaby at 3 weeks so his mom could watch him so they could have sex becasue HE has needs...@@ I wanted to slap them both... so Santa make Looser disappear and bring Mr. Wonderful She deserves it! nic

Connie, As usual your story has brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful a lady you truly are!! Take care & Have a wonderful Christmas!! May God always shine his love & wisdom upon you like he already does!! Marilyn, the Bearlady
