Dear Santa

I realize that it has been a long time since you heard from me. I had some belief issues for a while, (like 45 years), but recently I watched an episode of ER that made me rethink the whole thing.

So, I have a few things that I would like to have for Christmas.

• A new Governor for the State of IL, preferably a Republican that does not live in Cook County.

• World peace

• A warm winter

• Great weather for New Years Day

• The ability to cast a fly rod and catch fish

• Double Digit sales increases for about the next ten years

• My wife to be able to really retire.

• The ability to type

• Oh yea, a couple million dollars would be great as well

I realize that thisis a big list, but I am making up for 45 years of no lists. I figure this is a wash

Thanks Santa

Dear Santa,

Mine is but a short list this year. All I want is for the conflict to be over in the Middle East and ALL our troops to be home and safe for the holidays.

Thanks Santa.

Dear Santa

I have been a good little boy and here is my list for this year.

1. Bring the troops home and make sure all are safe to spend at least next Christmas with thier families.

2. Make our government abide by the immigration laws, but at the same time for those people who want to come here legally, help them through the process and at the same time help me understand cultural diversity.

3. Santa increase my understanding of the religions of the world and help me be tmore olerant of others.

4. Please provide some guidance to get some of our rivers and lakes cleaned up and spank those that do them harm.

5. Santa help US revive the local TU group, and help OAF continue to grow and grow.

Thanks Santa,

and...
