Dear Santa, I'm sick of Barbies...






Dear Santa,

I want to live out my dreams next year! I want life to be as exciting as I dreamed it would be as a child. Traveling, singing, acting, meeting new people, learning something new everyday, simply put not to have a bucket list but instead day by day seizing every opportunity to make it count while enjoying every single second. 

When I was little I remember making a list filled with the new Barbie and dress up clothes. Then, I got older and it progressed to nice clothes for work, instruments, make-up, and cameras. Now, I look at all of that and I'm not disappointed in my choices for presents, I used the heck out of everything I've ever gotten. I was never one to open a present and let it go to waste, I never got too much more than I needed and I love new things. But this year instead of asking for something that is tangible, I really know what I want (which is a first, because, even though I asked for things before, I never really absolutely knew what I wanted). So what do I want? I'm not going to be all predictable and say love or anything gooshy like that. Nope, instead I'm going to open up and be serious. 

I want a chance. The chance to live a spectacular life that involves making others happy and that in turn I would be happy too! How perfectly wonderful would it be to wake up Christmas morning and have a check written with your name on the recipient line and 1,000,000,000 written in the amount box? Oh, and a note attached saying that it was all tax free? Would I spend it all on a house and cars, or luxury vacations? No way! My life would then consist of living on only what I needed, and making sure all of my close friends and family were just as comfortable. Then, I would constantly be in a mental state of Christmas year round, giving to families in need at random and just sharing the gift that I didn't deserve just as much as anyone else doesn't. I would constantly learn and put the money to use in that way. Learning all the things I've ever wanted. I would travel and meet new people. Live different places for a while because I want to experience the culture. That's spectacular. I want a chance at that!

So Santa, yes it's I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, and I also know that you've got a budget with the economy the way it is and all, but maybe you could check that naughty or nice list 3 times this year? I'm sure you could make a few more cuts, at least that's what everyone else is doing. With all the extra money you'd save from giving those kids Xboxs, NintendoDSs, and the pony's those rich kids get, I'm sure you could give me my chance. 

I'm sure this isn't the first letter you've been written asking for a chance, or money. I've thought long and hard about it though! I believe that there's a way for me to achieve all of the goals I have in life and money really is the only shot I have at getting there. Stinks, and I wish money wasn't what made the world go round, but lets face it, it does. IF there's another way to achieve my goals you know where to find me. My new place doesn't have a chimney but there's a radiator like in the movie "The Santa Clause" so I think we're covered. Or you could always use the front door since it would be less of a hassle. 

Enjoy the rest of your Christmas planning and such. Tell ol' Rudolph I said hey! 

God Bless,
Amber
