Yes... I'm being rather silly :lol:
Dear Santa;
I've been exceptionally good this year but as you know things haven't been so easy when it comes to keeping up with things. I know if you could, you'd bring me that new health I need so as to get back to work, but I realize you don't do that kind of magic. Nonetheless, there are a few items I'd love to have, mainly so I can experiment and have something on hand for those "just in case" situations. For an example, this new Shocking thing that's out there (Electric Touch), I could have a load of fun with something like that
Then again, I really need to replace my billfold and the one I'd love to have is this one http://www.stevensmagic.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=2838 from Steven's Magic... that would be simply awesome!
Of course, you know me Santa, there are tons of other odds & ends I could use like software; Photoshop and a top end PDF Editor that will allow me to do encoding would be most awesome but at the same time, I'm really wanting to make the transition back to Mac... I've had far too many headaches with virus stuff this past year so even if you could find me a used laptop (Mac) that's in decent condition and capable of handling some of the more current demands we desk top publishers tend to place onto such things, that would make my day.
He, he... yes, you know me too well Santa, I do love my toys and when it comes to electronic gadgets there are a ton or two I'd love to get my hands on, starting with a Camcorder... I so desperately need a decent digital video camera that would at least give me the chance of creating the DVDs I've been planning for so long... it would be a most excellent tool all the way around and just like that lap top, I don't care if it's a couple of years old, just so long as it works! Of course, I'd love to have a stock-pile of odds & ends but that's neither here or there, got to keep things a bit more practical y'know...
As much as I hate dealing with it, I can't ignore the fact that I have some other "special needs" in my life... genuine "needs" vs. the wants I've already mentioned. But the thing is Santa, I already have one of the biggest most special presents of all -- a "need" fulfilled -- you see, I have tons of friends from all over the world, people I get to chat with almost daily through this and other forums I belong to. In so many ways they've become my "family"... they are after all, my only real outlet these days. I just hate the fact that I can't handle the traveling the way I used to in that I'd love to meet these guys & gals... so many of them give to me in ways they simply will never realize and yet, it's special to me and I so appreciate it and them... I hope they all understand that. I hope they can take a second and understand what it would be like to be more or less stuck at home the greater portion of your year, unable to do the things you once did and how important it is, knowing that someone is on the other side of this screen that gives a damn.
Anyway Santa... you know the kind of things I'd like to have and you know I'm not picky. In that I no longer have any family but the gang on line I thought I'd send this note to you in hopes you could fit it into your schedule somehow.
Thanks so much and have a safe trip next week
Now it's your turn guys, Tell Santa what you want and need or how you feel about things...
