Top 10 Christmas Wishes

By Patti Parish-Kaminski, Publisher

I understand I told the Big Guy I wanted three things for Christmas: health, peace and prosperity.  And I stand by that request.  But now that the hustle and bustle has hit my 60-year-old self like a freight train, I reserve the right to add to this list.

Here goes:

1. A new hip, one that doesn’t ache to level 10 when the weather gets cold and damp.
2. A truckload of Diet Coke. That’s more for my people than me, because without the crack cocaine of diet soft drinks, I’m not nearly as pleasant nor cognizant as I should be.
3. An in-house IT person that is available 24/7 and responds like they work at Chick-fil-A with “my pleasure” and doesn’t ask ridiculous techy questions that I don’t know the answers to.
4. A lean, mean body without going to the gym or participating in some other God-awful activity.
5. Copious amounts of energy.
6. Patience that exceeds three seconds when someone goes left.
7. A fat nap – daily.
8. To never, ever have to run through the Denver airport again. Participating in this particular activity hurts, bad, for days.
9. Sixteen consecutive hours of sleep, no interruptions.
10. The opportunity to wear nothing but pajamas for a week straight.

I’m not sure if this will cure my ails, but I’m up for the task to give it all my all.  Surely everyone else will jump on board.  After all, it’s Christmas!

On this holiest of days, I leave you with the only message that matters: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”  Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas porch sitters!  I hope all your Christmas dreams come true.  See y’all next year – on the porch!  Ho, ho hugs!
