Dear Santa,<BR>I really have been a good girl this year. I have tried to keep love busting down to a bare minimum. I have worked on my self to make better and when H was at home I tried to work on our marriage. All I want for Christmas are just three little things. 1. My Son to stay healthy and no rejections episodes ( he will hit the 6 month mark the 29th of Dec. Yea!!!) 2. A job ( I also want a place to live but if you help with the job I can swing the house.) 3. SOmething that lets me know that there is still hope that H will soon be back to reality and will come home soon. See I don't want a whole lot. By the way I no longer live where I did for 18 years but Santa I know you can find me. <P>Love XOXOX <P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Good idea - I've got one for the jolly old guy.<P>Dear Santa,<P>I have been mostly good this year. I don't want to ask too much of you, but I do have two requests that maybe your elves could start working on. 1) My granny will come thru her upcoming surgery well and the doctors will get all the 'bad' stuff out and 2) My H will start finding his way back to me and away from OW. Thanks, and I'll leave the cookies by the fireplace like last year.

Dear Santa,<P>I have but two simple desires this year:<P>1. Please remove all pain & suffering from this world, and replace it with love, peace and hope.<P>2. Please bring the spouses of all those on this MB message board back to them in time for Christmas (but if that's not possible, then as soon as possible).<P>

Dear Santa:<P>1. Please give me back my health;<BR>2. Please take away my selfishness;<BR>3. Please help me to communicate my needs to my H and accept his efforts to satisfy them.<BR>4. Please protect me from myself and help me to survive today and then tomorrow.<BR>5. Give my children one stable family.<P>I probably won't accept these gifts when you try to give them to me. The ability to accept them would be another wonderful gift from you.

Dear Santa,<P>There is only one gift that I ask for this year. She is living with her parents right now. I believe you have the address. I promise that I won't mess up this time. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Help yourself to the Pizza and beer. Just leave some for me. Thanks.<P>Tim<BR>

All your letters are really sweet, but they sound more like prayers than letters to Santa. Couldn't hurt to send them to the man upstairs.....

What a good thread..<P>Santa..please help those that are abused (animals included) and give me lots more time with my parents, they are so special to me. Let my husband and I be able to understand how we can meet each other's needs COMPLETELY...<P>And those who take time to help others, God bless them...

Hey Alex,<P>Sorry, Bud, I have your car and the bike. BTW did you get the extended warranty on the car? I think it needs some engine work. Oh, that and did you want the Barry Manilow tape that was in the player? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Your bike needs new tires...and a new seat.<BR><P>------------------<BR>"It's not over till we say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? H*ll no!" Blutto...Animal House 1984<P>Wishing us all the Best.<P>Medic<P>

Dear Santa, <P>I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned, and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than the doctor, stayed up countless evening tending to a sick kid, made several trips to magic mountain with all girls, explained to others about ADHD, listen to sister troubles and given all five girls unconditional love<P>I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my daughters red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years. <P>Here are my Christmas wishes. <P>I'd really like a pair of legs that don't ache after a day of chasing kids (in any color, except purple, which I already have) and arms that don't flap in the breeze, but are strong enough to carry a screaming toddler out of the candy aisle in the grocery store. <P>I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in between cooking dinners and eating raw cookie dough.<P>If you're hauling big ticket items this year, I'd like a car with fingerprint resist and windows, auto locking carseats, and a radio that only plays adult music; a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone. <P>On the practical side, I could use a talking daughter doll that says "Yes, Mommy" to boost my parental confidence, along with one potty-trained two year old, a 10 year old that doesn’t tattle, an 11 year old whose ADHD remain under control without medication, a 12 year old that doesn’t have a medical crisis daily, and a 14 year old who realizes I do know something about life, five kids that don't fight, and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools. <P>I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting, "Don't eat in the living room, stay at the table, get OFF the table, and take your hands off your sister, no screaming," because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog, and then only on a good day! <P>And please don't forget the Playdoh Travel Pak, the hottest stocking stuffer this year for mothers of preschoolers. It comes in three fluorescent colors and is guaranteed to crumble on any carpet making the in-laws house seem just like mine. <P>If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container. If you don't mind I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup as a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely. And bring Big Dog back to me....we all should have a family!<P>It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if ! they were the bosses of an organized crime family, or if my toddler didn't look so cute sneaking around at naptime to eat cookie and cracker crumbs off the floor. <P>Well Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my daughter saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think she wants her crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the chimney and come in and dry off by the<BR> fire so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies and milk on the table, but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet. <P>Yours Always...Mom <P>PS One more thing....you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa~!!!!<BR>

(Big Dog's Wife... we all here believe in Santa).<P>Medic,<P>Sorry about the engine, I thought that all it needed was a new bumper & a paint job… oh, yes! and new upholstery.… a radio that works… actually they did me a favor, except that at the time I was so F*****g broke that I really missed it. Keep the tape, I have Rick Martin's "La Vida Loca".<P>Alex<P>PS: I won't forgive you for keeping my bike; fix the seat, I don't care about the tires.
