A follow-up letter
Dear Santa Claus,
I do hope you’re doing well. I was a little bit worried because I hadn’t heard any response from my letter last January (exactly 9 months ago), but bjorks_defender assured me that I probably caught you on your much needed vacation in the Caribbean, and that it probably got lost in the post-Christmas complaints. So I thought I’d better check in, and see how you and the elves were doing with creating me that boyfriend.
I have to admit, I’ve been a little bit disappointed. Right after I wrote you, Matt took center stage in my awareness, and I was certain that you were moulding him for me. He seemed exactly like my specifications–you even gave him intense blue eyes that sparkled when he look at me, just me! But disappointment followed disappointment, and before I realized it, another girl had claimed him as her present. I don’t know what she bribed you with (I gave you cheese! That’s what the commercial said you liked best!), but Santa, I expected better than that from you. I don’t want to hear that she was just breaking him in for me and that he’s free now–I’m not sure that I’m desperate for hand-me-downs.
But perhaps I’m being to hasty in judgment. Perhaps, you have been working hard with your little elves in Santa’s Workshop and are not ready to reveal him until he’s perfect. If that’s the case, I’ll be patient and wait until Christmas. Maybe. Going to God is seeming like a good alternative right now.
In any case, we do have a deadline coming up. Remember, there’s only 3 and a half months before Christmas–I won’t be very understanding if he’s late.
Lots of love,
Julia
lol. You are so cute.
I’ll be sure to remind him of you in my letter this year.
🙂
Thanks, I think Santa would appreciate all of the extra reminders.
Is that your baby? Elise, she’s so beautiful! What gorgeous, roly poly cheeks. I hope things are going okay with you, my dear, that you are feeling just a smidgeon better. I haven’t been able to respond to your LJ as much as I wish, but always remember that you are in my thoughts and prayers (I think prayers have a better chance of working than letters to Santa…). Love you!

Thank you. 🙂 Hee. The one thing I can always show off, my kid.

Thanks, sweetie. Love you. Thinking of you. <3
Oh my goodness- I think I may have underestimated the big guy. Here all along I was just asking for stupid things like cd’s when really, I was missing out on the big important things only because I never knew or thought to ask.
oh geez, where have I been?
thank you for enlightening me- I’ll put in my request/list soon, but I’ll put a PS down to make sure he fills your order first before he starts with mine! 😉
I know! I have just began to realize all the years I wasted. I could have had a boyfriend years ago, if I had just asked.
Thank you for helping me remind Santa. He tends to be quite forgetful this time of year. (And I’d love to read your list! We should see if we could send this all over LJ!)
