Dear Santa,
Sorry I’m getting you this letter a bit late, but here it
goes. Every year I ask for different
presents and things I would like to see under my tree. You have done an amazing job: From the Dulet
Toaster, to cute designer jeans and a to-die-for Michael Kors handbag. Your shopping skills are top notch (just like
my fabulous sister!)
I even wrote to you and asked for a boyfriend…and while he
wasn’t under my Christmas tree, he did arrive at the perfect time. And last year, I asked for some date-able men
for my friends …and whether they want to believe it or not…each and every one
of them got some cuddling in 2012…so I think that was to some extent,
successful.
This year my request is a bit more humbling I’m afraid.

I’d just like to pay it forward. Something like the #26Acts. Literally this morning, I ran some errands,
one of which was cashing my paycheck…and with the cash I took out, I paid for a
line of drinks at Starbucks. Felt
good. Almost like the best Christmas
present I didn’t actually get. What’s
that old saying? It’s better to give
than receive? There could be no truer
words. So I guess I’m asking you to
spread the word…tell people to participate in random acts of kindness. (Something I wish I did more of.)
During this odd holiday season when our country was
delivered a devastating blow so close to the holidays, make you sit back and
realize how much we have to be grateful for.
I have a wonderful family, an awesome boyfriend, cuddly pets, amazing
friendships, and food and treasures in abundance. So much to be thankful for.
Now I’m not going to lie, of course I purchased many gifts
to give out this holiday season to my loved ones (including my publisher), but
even if I got a dead rat in my stocking…I’d be just fine.
My heart is full of love.
Let’s all try and make it a Merry Christmas! See you bright and early.
Heidi
