Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year I need a little magic.  I know that this is in your wheel house, Santa.  You’re a magical guy.

All I’m asking for from you is one simple little thing, but it’s going to take all the wizardry you and your elves can muster.

This year I would really like windshield wipers that work for longer than three swipes.  I don’t know how this always happens, but the wipers I currently have always fail on the driver’s side.  Directly in front of the steering wheel, there will be a mud streaked, filthy view of kaleidoscope lights.  If I do some tag team driving, I can have the passenger relate the activities out of their perfectly clean, streak free arch of window and we can all just hope that things go well.  Or, I can lean very far to the right, but really, if I’m going to be doing yoga in the car, I might as well be texting and drinking while I’m driving.  It doesn’t seem to matter what brand I buy or how much they cost.  They’re all crap.

Do you think that wish is even a possibility? 

And for Ava, I’d like to ask for a Hello Kitty helmet.  She knows why.  I’d get her one myself but my passport has expired.  (Cryptic for you readers, but Santa will understand.  He’s magical, you know.)

For Isabella, I’d like to arrange for a dragon.  It would be helpful if this dragon weren’t too terribly large, but really I don’t want to be too picky.  I know dragons are hard to come by.  Besides, we’ll share.

Thank you very much, Santa.  Of course, there will be a snack waiting when you get here.  I have it on very good authority that you like cupcakes.  I have a really good source.

XOXO
