Dear Santa
I haven’t written you a letter in a long time. My kids wrote their Santa letters to you tonight, and I thought I should too. I know you can’t make all my dreams come true, but I hope you take serious consideration of my list.
I wish for:
- My kids health and safety. They have so much to offer. Let them have the chance to grow, create and change the world we live in. They will accomplish great things.
- A cure for cancer. Enough said.
- Good health for my friends and the rest of my family. For those that may leave us, I wish them safe travels and an easy journey.
- I would like to wish for world peace, but I don’t believe it will ever happen. Instead, I would like to request world tolerance and understanding. A world without dissent is a world we probably don’t want to live in. I wish for good debate and dissent in a manner that doesn’t take people’s lives.
- I wish for shelter and food for all of the world’s children.
- I wish for no regrets.
- I would really like a real vacation, but I would give it up for any of the above.
I know I am asking for a lot. In return, I promise to:
- Seek out the greater good.
- Do my best to give back.
- Raise my children to be tolerant, to listen to other’s beliefs and to challenge their own.
- Lead by example by being tolerant, listening to other’s beliefs, and to challenge my own.
- Make lots of mistakes, but learn and grown from them.
Love,
Ginger
P.S. For those of you who are reading this and don’t believe in Santa, perhaps you might take a moment to believe in yourself and your power to change the world we live in. Eventually baby steps may lead to a marathon. You have to start somewhere. Make a change in 2010. You do have the power.

So I just fired up Tweetdeck and there was your Tweet about this post and I just HAD to click on it…
I’ve been planning next summer’s vacation to Tokyo all evening and now I’m feeling guilty about taking a real vacation…not!
This is a really good list, Ginger. I hope that you get everyone of your wishes, but even if you only get a few, you’ll be happy.
