My Letter to Santa
Who Else Can I Ask for Help?

Dear Santa,

I know you’re a busy guy this time of year and you have a ton of mail to get through – almost all of it from children under 10. I’m hoping that because I am from a far less common demographic, men in their 40s, you might consider my letter in the interest of diversity.

Like the letters you received from my kids, I’m going to list several things I hope you can deliver – please bring as many as you can. It seems a bit selfish, I know, but I’m hoping this is just because as an adult I’m conditioned to give rather than request this holiday season. So I don’t seem quite to selfish, I’ll at least try and explain my list.

I think I’ve been pretty good this year and I should by on the “nice” list if so please bring me:

Anyway, that’s my list. You may be surprised that for this demographic I didn’t ask for a sports car, boat or younger woman - I’m guessing you get a lot of that. I know I’ve asked for a lot – probably too much – my understanding is that you have excellent toy manufacturing facilities at your disposal as that is your core business, but I’m hoping you may have some ability to get things done in the NFL. I’m sorry you were booed by Philadelphia fans – let me be the first to say that they do NOT represent all of us fans. Thanks for doing what you do – Merry Christmas.
