Dear Santa,
Happy Merry Birthday Christmas Holiday Spirit!!!
I think as a non-parent, I am still obligated to believe in you since my parents worked so hard to convince me you exist. I feel like we’ve grown up together. After all, I’ve been writing to you since I was 8, and even though you’ve never written back, we cool.
But you know, I’m 25 years old now and I think society considers me an adult, and I don’t think adults are supposed to write letters to Santa anymore so I’ve decided to stop. After this one, of course.
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve moved past the gifts and I’ve learned that the true spirit of Christmas is love, peace, and good will towards men (this is way easier said than done because most of mankind= idiots). It’s about celebrating life with family and friends, and aside from the commercial and religious aspects of Christmas, it’s a time to appreciate everyone and everything, including myself. This was the year that I’ve come to realize that not everything has to be perfect. Nothing can be perfect of course, but what isn’t perfect can still be right. I’m still learning that, and also how to not spill on myself while drinking and walking at the same time.
So, yeah. There you have it. No Christmas list filled with ‘wants and needs,’ but rather a hearty ‘Cheers!’ to life. Except, I’m still waiting on that pony I asked for 10+ years ago. Just sayin.
Cheers to the holidays!
J.K.
