Dear Santa

Dear Santa…

Let me explain.

It’s not that I meant to ignore my blog for the last week, it’s just that I’ve been so busy. First little man was sick, then I was sick, then my best friend got married and
my oh my, there was all that Christmas shopping that had to be done! Lest we forget the Christmas party at my friends house Friday night, and the 4th grade party at Little Man’s school that needed planning and all the mothers I had to call to bring in goodies….The list just goes on and on and I’ve been too busy with a multitude of other things to even consider being naughty or nice. I’m hoping you’ll be able to overlook my blog neglect based on what I feel is our common bond in the “making a list” thing… even though I almost never remember to check mine twice or where I put it last.

I know there was that whole Bad Fairy incident on Halloween, but I assure you it was all in the spirit of the Holiday and in good fun, so you can hardly hold that against me.

It wouldn’t be fair of you to count the whiskey sours I drank at my friends
wedding reception either because that was a very stressful and emotional day for all of us. I only drank them because it was really cold outside and my head was hurting so bad that I needed something to warm me up and take the edge off. Don’t you worry Santa, I’ve learned my lesson. I learned it on the cold porcelain bathroom floor several hours later and in the half empty bottle of Ibruprofin that’s left on my kitchen counter. I’ve learned food is critical when drinking alcohol, and that one should limit one’s consumption proportional to one’s body weight.

I’ll give you that, on occasion I can be a tad naughty with the good fairy, but it’s nothing you or Mrs. Claus haven’t discussed under the mistletoe yourselves I bet, therefore technically I’m excused from that one too.

So you see Santa, I really am worthy of a gift or two, and I promise to be better at posting on my blog and to leave your favorite cookies out on Christmas Eve, if you promise not to leave me a lump of coal.
Love Suzanne
