Dear Santa,
Enclosed is my holiday wish list for my friends and family. I have kept it brief, and I think most items are pretty light weight for travel.
For my husband: a few moments to slow down, so we can appreciate our relationship, our kids, and our lives together.
For my older sister: realization that miles cannot separate hearts
For my middle sister: good health, and strength as her nest becomes empty
For Cara: success in the field she knew she would love at the ripe old age of 8 yrs!
For Missy M.: I want her to feel the joy that she makes people feel with her words and smiles.
For Kassy: more brownie ingredients, and some time to be 15.
For Heidi: a housewarming party... with brownies (no nuts)
For Tova: a chance to shed the pain and shine the light
For Amy and all my rescue friends: an abundance of adoptive families or a money tree (whichever is easier)
For Missy S.: a moment of silence in a house that roars
For Traci: a soft place to fall, sometimes the rock needs that
For Lori: for her girls to become the strong woman she has become
For Dewan: pork chops
For Jeri: :-)
For those that are hungry, abused, neglected, or homeless: bring food, safety, love, and families.
For Kim: to let the love of family and friends support her, at times when she cannot.
For Miguel: physical and emotional strength, he has already shown his courage and heart... and a light at the end of the tunnel
For my kids, I want all those things that every parent wishes for their children. All those things that cannot be wrapped or put under a tree. You know what I mean. You're Santa.
For those I did not specifically mention, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!
Thank you and safe travels,
Your dedicated elf,
Lisa

Thank you Lisa. I wish that you could just have time to stop and realize that you are a wonderful person and what you do is amazing. You never fail to amaze me when help a person even when you know the only benefit you will receive is to see that there animal has proper vet care. I wish more people could see that.
What a wonderfully thoughtful Christmas wish list! While I'm a bit disappointed I'm not on this list, I know you're thinking of me, ha ha!
Have a wonderful Blessed Christmas Linda!
