Writer's Workshop {12.3}

This week's chosen prompt for Writer's Workshop by Mama Kat:

Write an open letter to Santa Claus.

****

Dear Santa Claus:

Why hello old friend. I hope the year has been treating you well. Has the economy rocked you like it has everyone else? Please send my regards to the Mrs. and the elves.

I know you're coming up on your moment to shine. Your big day. I can't believe it's really just around the corner. You probably are very busy at this moment.

I do believe I should be listed on your "Nice" list this year. I have been very good, as I'm sure you know. I haven't had a wish list in quite a few years, although you seem to still always stop by my parent's house...every year. I thank you for that. Your generosity is warm welcomed.

This year, I do not have a Santa wish list. I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings at all. Of course there are a few things that I want like a lovely wine rack for my kitchen {since you know I've become quite the wino lately}, some jewelry stampers for my business, and my last name in architecture. But really Santa, I have everything I need and want such as...

** a job (even though it's frustrating at times)
** a wonderful husband
** supportive and loving parents
** reliable friends
** great family
** a roof over my head
** food in my belly
** cute jeans clothes to wear
** fabulously adorable shoes shoes on my feet
** a budding online business

See Santa there are lots of things to be grateful for this year, as it's been a rough year. I'm really just glad I have what I do and that this year is almost over and whatever I get for Christmas is great and I'm completely grateful for it. Also Santa, you see I saved this year to buy me what I really wanted...this. I kind of spoiled myself I guess.

So I'm thinking you should take what you were going to give me and give it to someone who really needs it. Someone who needs a real pick me up. I need a pick me up, but it's called an 11 day vacation in T-minus 20 days. So Santa I guess that's it. You're an awesome jolly old man and keep up the good work.
