Dear Santa,
I know it is last minute, but as you make your rounds tonight, I would appreciate it if I could be on your list of stops. Since we don’t really do Christmas in my family, I will have no presents to open in the morning unless you stop by. I’m visiting my mom, so I’m not at your listed address for me, but if you find yourself flying above Custer State Park (perhaps your reindeer would like to catch up with some pronghorns), please stop by our place. We have solar lights that could serve as an airstrip for you to land safely (just don’t land in the pond, or on top of the horses). Also, maybe use the side door since the woodstove might be kind of hard for you to get out of. We don’t have any cookies, but if you know where my stepdad’s hidden chocolate stash is, feel free to eat as your heart desires.
Anyway, onto the gifts. I would like the books This I Believe, The Body Has a Mind of its Own, and Listening Is an Act of Love. I would also like the Winged Migration DVD, the NPR Driveway Moments Collection (a six-CD set), the soundtrack to the movie Once, and a small digital voice recorder. I was also wondering if your elves could construct a 2.8 17-55 lens that fits on a Mark II, seeing as Canon has failed to do so. And I would like a plethora of houseplants. By no means do you need to bring me all of these, but I’d like to remind you how very, very good I have been this year. Please keep me in mind as you travel over the Black Hills. We will leave out some hay for Rudolph and company.
Sincerely,
Sarah
PS: I would also really appreciate it if you could leave a lump of coal for Senator Norm Coleman of Minnesota.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
