Dear Santa,
You have to admit that I’ve been a very good girl this year, or at least for the past six months.
I worked very, very hard at getting my shit together during the latter half of 2009, and I feel I should be rewarded for all my efforts.
This year for Christmas, I would very much like the following:
- A job for my husband, who is smart and handsome and charming.
- Peace of mind for my beautiful daughter, who frets much like her mama well into the wee hours of the night.
- A guardian angel for my dare-devil son, who manages daily to send my heart into my throat with his antics.
- A companion for my mother, who deserves happiness and company as she enters her 60th year.
- Continued success for my sister and brother.
- A huge burst of enthusiasm for my BIG BIG PROJECT, which is just getting off the ground.
- The time, energy and creativity to continue on the professional path that I see before me.
- The time, energy and creativity to make my marriage stronger and better and more solid.
But what I most want for Christmas, Santa, is January. Bring it soon, please. I’ll be waiting. With cookies. And maybe even some milk.
Or beer.
Love,
Mrs. Chicken

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is for Mr. Chicken to get a great job, one that means Mrs. Chicken and Co. don’t have to move.
Hope it doesn’t matter that I’m Jewish.
Love,
Me

Hoping January kicks ass for you. Actually, hoping all of 2010 does. Merry Christmas to you!
Santa better deliver, you sure deserve it! I thought your first line was going to be, “To not have to travel anywhere for Christmas.”

Great wish list. Only I’m not in any rush for January. Around here January means more snow. And cold. And then more snow. So, I’ll wish for April instead.
Ahhh…January. Always hopeful, isn’t it? Wishing you all your wishes, and then some!

I’m expecting great things from you in 2010, Mrs. Chicken. You don’t need Santa’s help:) -H
Sorry I screwed up my website (classy). But I think you know where to find me. Can’t wait for February!
Ms Chicken, I will put in a good word for you with Santa too!

I just wanted to send you some Christmas thanks … I have really enjoyed reading your blog this year. My year as well was horrid — HORRID (think cancer, job loss, death etc) and my year was wonderful (two new babies, memories with 6 kids) and through it all I really did enjoy reading your blog. To feel that I was not completely alone in the struggle to just keep going.
Jen
