Christmas wish list

Santa Baby,
Just slip a sable under the tree
For me
Been an awful good girl
Santa Baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, a '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you'll check off my Christmas list
Santa Baby, I want a yacht and really that's not
A lot
Been an angel all year Santa Baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey, one little thing I really need
The deed
To a platinum mine Santa Baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex
And cheques
Sign your 'x' on the line Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tif-fa-ny
I really do believe in you
Lets see if you believe in me

Santa Baby, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring I don't mean on the phone Santa Baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight

Hurry down the chimney tonight Hurry...tonight


This year's Christmas wish list is actually a joke. I have none. The last two years have been severe cases of Christmas wish lost and now that I found myself again - almost - that won't happen because

I know exactly what I have, I am aware of everything I lost, everything I won and everything I own. This means I'm not asking for anything. You know, it's as the Chinese say: beware of what you wish for, so I will just keep on cherishing my regained internal peace for now.

So thanks but no thanks, Santa baby, no need to bring me anything this year. I'm all covered for a no surprises holiday season:

Santa won't take away my jingle bells and leave me with a silent night....

My stocking's full of certainties
The lowest branches of my tree are dripping with the last remains of the hope I cherished during my childhood and adolescent years but (considering the temperature the global heating has donated this city lately) no chance it will freeze anytime soon which means that by the 24th of December it'll all be melted away!

Hundreds of people pass my window every week
My cat and I just watch them with a brave smile and since we know that no one will ring the bell to bring us roses, we stay in and start preparing the menu for the dinner I'll prepare for my family.

Maye one small wish, just for the sake of the view?

Okay then:

Let it snow,
Let it snow,
Let it snow!

Hi MonaLiza,

it's me again. I think it might be sweet to have snow falling outside your window while you're having a good time with your family.

Btw: I'm doing allright (see last blog) and meticulously reading every word you publish online.
