Dear Santa

Posted on December 22, 2011 Written by Tonya

With only THREE shopping days until Christmas, I sure hope someone sees this in time…

Dear Santa,

I’ve been nice this year (well, I tried) and I’ve come up with a short list of five things I’d really like to find under the tree Saturday morning:

  1. Someone other than me to fill the Q-tip container.
  2. A guaranteed two hour nap from Lucas each and every afternoon, along with no hitting, throwing, splashing, biting or temper tantrum (especially in public or in front of his grandparents). Ever. 
  3. I would also love it if Lucas could find a way not to wait until 30 seconds before we are about to walk out the door to poop. 
  4. A car that never needs gas, a refrigerator that’s always full and an endless supply of paper towels. 
  5. And last but not least, just once I’d like to go on a trip and not have a lotion, face wash or bubble bath leak in my toiletry bag. 

Of course no Christmas wish list would be complete without wishing happiness, love and success to everyone in my life and peace on earth and goodwill toward men. 

Okay, I lied, there are WAY more than five things I’d like this Christmas. Please see above about “trying” and have a little mercy.

Merry Christmas, Santa!

Love,
me

    Perfect lost, I think that about sums it up. Hope you have a great Christmas Tonya.

    If I was Santa I would deliver all of these for you.

    The full gas tank and fridge would definitely be on my list as well. Those are the worst errands!

      I loathe the grocery store! With a passion. I am there so much I should get my mail delivered there.

    Yes to numbers 3 and 4. If your getting them, Im asking Santa for the same things! 🙂 Merry Christmas!

    I’m sad that my 3 yr old outgrew naps last year…I would certainly put that on my list 🙂 Happy Holidays!

      It makes me so sad when Lucas won’t nap. He becomes a devil child after 4:00 because of it. Grr…

    Great list! Merry Christmas!

      I thought so, but maybe better luck next year… 🙁

    I really think it’s a child’s job to poop immediately before leaving the house . . . and, of course, the later you are, the greater the likelihood of a blowout, right before you leave the house.

    And an endless supply of paper towels might just solve world peace.

      I’m all about world peace!

    I CAN NOT travel without the leaking of a product in my bag either! On my flight from Florida to NYC, I lost an entire bottle of argan oil all over my makeup. So disgusting and EXPENSIVE. I could have cried.

      I have CRIED. So annoying.

    Cute. Yes, I can think of like 10 things on my wish list to Santa. Sorry to hear about all your toiletries accidents! That hasn’t happened to me for awhile but maybe that’s because I’ve driven everywhere lately.
