‘Tis the week for many of us to be asked, “What do you want for Christmas this year?”
If you couldn’t come up with a response to that question, you’re not alone. For me, the tangible list of items that I once so easily constructed for Santa, is now nearly impossible to come up with. My former desire for the Iverson jersey, new football, FIFA 2001 video game, Harry Potter book, and new pair of Shaq basketball shoes has been replaced with the newfound interest in experiences, convenience, home improvements, health and wellness, and sentimental feelings. So while I’ll welcome any gift cards, tickets, babysitting coupons, and ok maybe a new coat, here is my official Christmas wish list below:
From Jordan- Continue bringing joy, meaning, and growth to every day of our lives. Also, thanks for being the Varsity parent and showing the JV team (me) how it’s done.
From Charlie- Continue making my heart melt and my belly laugh on a daily basis. Also, stop putting those dirty things in your mouth and getting sent home sick from daycare.
From my family- Continue to be there for good meals, good times, good talks, and a night or ten of Charlie coverage. Also, continue to come by when I need someone to help me stabilize the Christmas tree or resolve the flooding in our basement or just need someone to happy hour with on a Friday night.
From my pets- Continue waking me up early enough so I’m able to get to the gym in the morning. However, please consider waiting until at least 5:15 to begin gnawing at my feet or knocking things off the counters.
From my friends- Continue planning and attending the flurry of events that we fill our calendar with despite all of our life changes and new responsibilities. Also, Charlie wants you to bring on more “new responsibilities” in 2020.
From my sales partner- Continue having my back, helping me develop, and pushing us to the next level. I’m not complaining about the gift card either.
From my colleagues- Continue keeping things fun and loose during the daily grind.
From the Eagles- Beat the Cowboys!
From the Senate- well…you know what I want from you.
The easy part about this list is that I already have most of these things and I don’t really need much else. So if you’re on this list and you haven’t gone shopping yet, save yourself the time and money, and just keep doing what you’re doing. If you give me that, it’ll be a very merry Christmas.
