I keep Santa on speed dial because a girl never knows when she's gonna need to call upon a snappy fabulous friend dressed in red with a beard as white as the driven snow who loves to give gifts & is rumored to be made of pure magic. As much as the world would like to tell me that such magical endeavors are merely fantasy? I'm still a fan of The Claus. I'm still a believer, even though I realize this crazy world makes it tough to be a believer at times..
Today I decided to do something I haven't done since I was a little girl. I decided to write my very own letter to Santa. The last time I touched base with Santa in writing I'm pretty sure the correspondence consisted of a teddy bear, roller skates & pink cowboy boots request. For the record he came through on all accounts. Ahhh good old Santa! Anyway, I thought it might be fun to write The Claus as an adult, just to see where my thoughts would take me. I was curious to know what wishes I might conjure up on a moment's notice. The plan was to blog about it later & share the silliness of my materialistic nature (because I definitely have one). I fully planned to put a stamp on it & mail it away to The North Pole immediately after writing. Why not??
My letter journey started out simple enough: "Dear Santa", I sketched out, in my best print handwriting " I wish for.." At that exact moment a blank stare parked itself upon my face. As my hand froze, something beyond my comprehension began to happen. I did NOT know what to ask for, I did not know what to write. ME? Come on! I want LOTS of things. Endless things! How could I be at a loss for words? Things Things Things. This is my specialty. THIS is what I DO. I'm a wisher! I'm a crush it til I get it kinda girl. What on Earth was happening here? Suddenly, just as quickly as my pen hit the table, I jerked it back up again & the words "makes me happy " began to form. Only this time the letters were in cursive with large meaningful strokes, swirls of letters across an empty white page coming to life with a blue Bic. Happy, fun, energetic words on & on flowing so easily, effortlessly, as if by magic. Hyper cursive words appearing with accompanying smiles on my face for every listing of a beautiful person in my life: People who care about me in this world & ask for nothing in return except for exactly who I am. People who make me feel alive with the spirit of a holiday season every day of the year. My Holiday Wish? To spend more time with them.
Santa's So Stylin! Hope he writes me back:)
