On this Christmas Eve, I anxiously look to the sky- just in case I see him. (Ever since watching Santa Claus in 1985, I've wanted to err on the side of caution.) After all, if NORAD is tracking him, you can't be too safe.
Do you remember writing your Christmas list to Santa and putting complicated things on it to test him? I do. Here's my list for this year.
Dear Santa,
- I would like a coffee fairy to deliver a daily dose to my workspace at 1:30. One sugar, light on the cream. This is the best part of my day and a bonus cup would make it all the better.
- I would like a garage for snowy days. Or, a chauffeur. Your call.
- I would like grownups to stop being mean to each other, about each other, and on behalf of one another.
- I would like for Jonathan Maberry and Stephen King to write a bedtime story for me. I would like Jon Stewart to introduce it and Ellen Degeneres to narrate it. All while Channing Tatum interprets it through dance.
And, now, for the most complicated item. I simply want to be happy. Not happy because I have stuff. Not happy because I can get more stuff. But happy because I continue to accept each day as a gift and after a less than perfect day, I know I can always start over.
(But, if that's too hard...I'll take the bedtime story.)
What's on your list?
