What Moms REALLY Want for Christmas: Week 4

C’mon, Santa, Kim’s not asking for a full-time personal barista or anything, just a few hours/day:

Dear Santa,

Thanks a million —

At the very least,
leave one of your elves, Santa

Dear Santa,

I’ve decided this year I am not going to ask for expensive clothes or handbags.  Truth be told, they will just end up in my closet with the tags still on.  This year I am going to be practical and ask for things that I just wish would happen.  Since you’re oh so magical I know you can make it happen.

1)       Just once a week I would like you to send a magic elf to hypnotize my son  so I can take a normal shower.  You know one where I am not hopping out of the shower every 30 seconds to check on him.

2)      I would LOVE to wake up on Christmas morning and for my house to be sparkly clean.  I’m not just talking dishes done but super clean.  For example the grout in my shower could use a good scrubbing.  Those blinds with a half inch of dust could use a magic elf to clean them up.  My list goes on and on.

3)      I have a scrapbook of Little Bear’s first year and am only up to his 7^th month.  He is now three years old.   Waking up on Christmas morning to a completed scrapbook would not only take away some mommy guilt but also make me more organized.  It’s a win/win.

4)      Do you have an elf that can just magically get Little Bear potty trained?  It’s been a year of potty training and we are still wearing pull ups.  I can use some magic in this department.

5)      Hell, if you want to just leave the magic elf at my house all year I’m  sure I can find a few things to keep him busy.

I still believe in you Santa!

A Jetson car?  Kristy is brilliant.  I’ll take one of these too, Santa!

As Steph says, Santa, her list is completely reasonable.  Get on it!:

Calling in the grandmas
this holiday season

Call in the grandmas for Jelli:

Dear Santa,

It’d be grand if one of the grandmas could fly south in December to spoil my little girl while the hubs & I live it up at a couples beach retreat.

Love, Jelli of Jellibean Journals

Just a robot, some chocolate a little bit of playing with time for Jen, who wisely thanks you for remembering what’s really important about Christmas:

Dear Santa,

As a Mom of 2 boys (ages 6 and 9) I’d like a robot that can pick up all the toys left behind.  That shouldn’t be too hard.  Just combine the technology of the Roomba and make it able to pick up larger items, and spit them out where they belong.  The old “Clean up, clean up” song no longer works for the boys and the tiny legos really hurt when you step on them.  So yes, a Clean Up Robot would be perfect.  I’d also like a big box of chocolates.  You just can’t go wrong with chocolate.  One last request, maybe you could make these years last just a little longer.  Time is flying by too fast and my oldest is a preteen.  I want time to slow down so we can snuggle a little longer, tickle till we cry, and play chase till we’re tired.  Those are the precious times I don’t want to lose with age.  

By the way, thanks for always taking second place to Jesus.  I wanted my boys to believe in you, but never wanted Jesus to be in your shadow.  So thanks for bowing out when necessary but always providing that extra “magic” that makes Christmas morning so fun.

Wrinkled Mommy only wants 3 days.  Just 3 days!  Surely you can manage that?:

72 hours completely alone. As in NO ONE at home with me at all. The first day I would clean house and do all laundry. The second day I would stay out all day shopping. The third day I would lay around on the couch ALL DAY watching anything I wanted on TV.

Give this sweet mom, Melissa, a little rest and a little break:

Dr. Santa,

This year for Christmas I have been a very good girl.  What I would really like would be to wake up one morning and just not feel tired anymore.  What I also would like is to get to eat a meal in peace and decide when and for how long I sit at the table.  If either of those aren’t feasible, I will settle for getting to go the the bathroom alone.  Thanks.  Cookies and milk will be waiting for you.

And this is the flavor we’ll be needing
in our veggies from now on

And our final note of the season comes from the very sage Bloggess, who asks for the one thing we would all ALWAYS want. She’s like, super-famous, Santa, so you’ve gotta make this one come true:

If not, all I want for Christmas is for carrots to taste like cheesecake.

Remember to tune in Monday, when Santa has agreed to share the note he is writing to my kids this year.  No, I don’t think he had it in him to respond to all of these amazing requests, but hey, it’s really all about the kids, right? 😉
