It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Christmas list that was actually of things that I want not things that I want to buy for other people. This year I’m going all out. I figure Santa has gotten high-tech so to make sure he gets my wish list I thought I’d post it here in the form of a letter. I’m certain he reads my blog daily so there is no possible way for this to slip by him.

Dear Santa,

I haven’t asked for anything since 1978. Its been many many years, that should count for something right? (smile). I tried emailing you but it kept bouncing back. I was wondering if you save letters and Christmas lists for future use? Every year I seem to get something that I asked for years before. I thought it best I tell you to please hold off on the pony until further notice. I figured using the Internet would expedite the process and perhaps ensure that my 2007 list is actually processed in 2007.

Anyhoo, I know you’re really busy especially with all the toy recalls… I heard due to hard times you had to lay off most of your elves and do some outsourcing to China for toys. I’m sure the whole lead issue has thrown a monkey wrench in your plans. Remember back in 1977 you brought me a brand new Atari game system - that was the best! I’ve been a video gamer ever since.

By the way, I know that you have become more health conscious over the years. Instead of milk and cookies, I’ll be sure to leave you healthy and nutritious snacks.

Here is my ever-growing 2007 Christmas list in no particular order (I want everything listed):

Apple Quad-Core Mac Pro
2008 Pontiac Solstice
A Week in Paris, France
Hot Air Balloon Ride
Books-A-Million Bookstore Gift Card
Tiffany’s Paloma’s Groove Surfer Bracelet
