Santa Baby - I've Updated My Christmas List!

What she really wants for Christmas!Santa baby . . . I keep telling you . . . I’ve been a very good girl.

When you zip down the chimney this year can we work on a few things?  No you don’t need to load your pack with that ‘54 convertible, (light blue), this year . . .

I’ve got a few other things in mind.

Please help me get:

  • New paint colors that look right – the first time please
  • A new look for my living room without spending a ton of $$
  • A de-cluttered and peaceful home to welcome me
  • An closets and drawers that stay organized
  • A bedroom that says “retreat” when I walk in the door.

Now Santa – I don’t mean to sound picky or ungrateful for other gifts I’ve received.  I use the vacuum I received last year and am especially appreciative.  And the sweater I know will fit if I just get to the gym more in 2010.

But this year - I really don’t need more

I need to know how to use what I have and want  to make my home look better

These white walls need to go.  But I’m fearful I’ll end up with a “pinky” beige.

Somehow I’d like to make my furniture look newer, the room seem sleeker and have a more contemporary “feeling” but still be one that is comfortable for my family.  You can do that can’t you Santa?

So please Santa – let’s go “green” this year.  I was wrong -- I don’t need the sable or the convertible - just help me redecorate my home. A home that looks like those in the magazine – you know the look I love!

A new year is coming — I’d like to spend it in a home that feels special to me and my family, but don’t have time to get it done.  I need some magical help to achieve it.  Where do I start?  Where do I shop?  How can I possibly pull it all together without breaking the bank?

From,

Hurry Down the Chimney Tonight

Dear Hurry Down the Chimney Tonight,

After reading your letter I’ve decided it’s easier to deliver that ‘54 convertible (light blue).  Asking me to help you pick out paint colors is a HO HO HORRIBLE idea.  I like Red and White . . . never thought about beige!

Great letter! I have decided to ask to help others this year.  I've done this before and it really feels better to give than receive.  As long as I get the love, I'm good. (this year)

Excellent humor so fun to read!  And I never would have taken you to be the Santa baby type!

Very clever and very well written!  I love that song, it has always been one of my favorites...especially the Kelly Pickler version this year!

A very unique approach!  I love your creativity.  I hope Santa fills your wish list.

Merry Christmas

ps- I TOTALLY know your paint dilemma.  I've lived in my house for 15 years and my walls are STILL white.
