DEAR SANTA
You
probably don't get many letters from grown-ups but there are some
things I really do need. You must be awful busy with all those kids but I
would be so grateful if you could let me have some stuff too.
Just
like all those kids, I spend the whole year trying to be good and
...... well to be honest I'm not that successful. But I do try, so I
just hope you can overlook the times when I haven't been that good. It's
usually stuff like getting mad and yelling at people, I never mean too
but I just find people so difficult at times, I'm a grown up so I know
there is no real excuse for getting mad and yelling at people, but I do
find it all so difficult. And that brings me to the stuff I really do
need for Christmas;
Santa I need to find a way of living my life without leaving this enormous Eco-footprint that seems to follow me around.
I need to find a way of surviving and working that does not contribute to the inequalities and injustices of the world.
I
need to find a place to live where there are like minded people who
understand why constantly buying new things is not good, who can relate
buying fashion clothes at rock bottom prices to sweat shops and child
labour, who are thoughtful and considerate toward their environment and
who instinctively understand the principles of 'reduce, reuse and
recycle.
I
need to live some place where there are no racists, homophobics
xenophobes, misogynists or bigots of any kind (these are the people I
yell at most)
I
need to be free of people who deliberately gossip, bitch about and
deride others at the slightest opportunity (I think I maybe yell at them
more).
I need to find a way of contributing that is valued in ways other than monetary.
I
am a grown up and I live on my own. I have no one who depends on me so I
really could go anywhere you find these things for me.
This is my Christmas list Santa.
PS............
OK....... sometimes I yell just because I'm bad tempered, sorry for
that. Can I have my wish list anyway please. If you manage to stop by my
hoose on your way around the world I will have hot mince pies and wee
dram waiting for you and carrots n' neeps for Rudolph.
Thank you Santa
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
