Show DearSanta; I've caught that Old Xmas disease again ... The Gimmies By Mary Gae Kvans PAROWAN - Dear Santa Clans: I know you're busy and Thanksgiving is barely over, but you know how crowded the mail service is this time of year, so I decided to get my list in early. I have been a very good girl all year this year, in fact now that I think about it, I have been so good I've been bored almost to death. I've stayed home 3C0 of the 3(i5 days of the past year, watched the Brady Bunch and Gilligans Island reruns until I'm almost ready for the funny farm. I've cooked enough hamburger enough boring ways to qualify for the Guinnes Book of World Records, and there was one scary night when we tried to when we discovered we were just pinned under the TV trays. Well, anyway as I was saying, this year Santa, first of all I was wondering would you please try to hold up your end a little better. I mean inflation is so bad, and you've been getting all the credit for so long , I'd really like to see you drop in with a few things this year. It's not easy you know when the kids grow up. Christmas is a little less fun and a lot more expensive. It's hard to convince a teenage boy that a tonka truck and a Mr. Mouth game are an exciting Christmas. You've got to go into toys like color TV's, Stereos, $200 rifles, and motorcycles, then a few little extras like $30 levis, $35 shoes and $75 down year to have a new washer that would return as many pairs of socks as I put in it, instead of always returning odd ones. Or I'd like a vacuum cleaner that could live up to my standards and pick up pennies, paper clips and long pieces of string without shrieking, choking, thumping and stopping. If you don't have one of those please bring me a set of teflon pans that can sUind up under my way of cooking with the burner on high and with a sharp spatula. Thank you so much Santa. I'll see you in all the stores. By the way, how do you do that and still finish up at the North Pole? I do envy people who are that organized. Thank you, Mary Gae gei u on uie coucn aner another big evening in front of the TV when we really feared the worst, for a few moments we were afraid we had actually grown to the couch. We were relieved coals. Come to think of it I can't think of anything to fit in a teenagers sock for less than $10. Anyway back to the list I would like very much this |
