Oh, yeah, and world peace would be good too.

But, failing that, what would I wish? How about a yellow '54 Corvette. Or maybe even a red one.
I'd even settle for being able to actually sit in one. They have notoriously tight seats.

Dear Santa,
I haven't actually asked you for anything for a long time. Except that once... and, um, thank you... but this year I'm going to actually write a letter.
See, it's the blender.
It's the blender I had in college. I've nursed it through the Frothy Boat Drink Party phase, the take-the-blender-camping phase, the stray-puppies-who-need-warm-milk-and-dog-food-smoothies-every-four-hours phase...
We still use it despite the missing handle, the fact that we have to use a plate as a lid for it, the four non-functional buttons, the crack down the side that means you have to pour out whatever you're blending really fast so it doesn't leak out, and the fact that it makes a funny electric smell if you use the pulse function. Yes, one of the rubber feet is missing so it wobbles unless we prop it up with a bit of cardboard, and yes, it walks off the counter if you don't watch it at high speeds, but dammit, it still works. It has not lost its essential blender-ness.
Santa, as conservation-oriented as I am, as much as I hate the idea of putting an appliance in a landfill somewhere, I believe I have really truly sucked all the goodness out of this blender. It was a hand-me-down when I got it in 1985, and it has lived a very good life.
This blender has gotten to see so many interesting moments, and it's really like an old friend. It has made soup for sick people and smoothies for mornings when I'm late for work and whiskey sours for countless holidays and orange juice for hangovers when I'm too impatient to thaw the frozen can. This blender has been to remote campsites and motel rooms and has witnessed numerous kitchen-dramas in at least fifteen different homes. This blender has had an excellent and interesting life, compared to most blenders.
But my heart breaks now as I write the fact of the matter: Santa, I think it's really time for a new blender. Maybe if I just tell the old one that it's going to get a new baby sister, it won't be too distraught.
I've been very, very good.
hail santa.

Geez, now I'm ready to send you a blender. All that good samaritan puppy gruel you made has touched my Scroogy heart. God bless us every one.![]()
Those puppies, who were so small I could hold both of them with one arm, are a brother and sister pair, mixed coonhound and lab, and now weigh respectively 100 and 115 pounds.
When we first found them we made their bed in a laundry basket.
My mate has about 6 times as many pictures of them as he has of me. And rightly so. They're much cuter.

I wish I could write poetry like you people here do. It seems to come so easily
to each and everyone
of you.
I wish I could fly, that's my superhero power wannabe wish
