Dear Nicholas,
Come December and every damn person on earth is
mailing you for things they want. But trust me (just this once) this mail is not about “All I want for Christmas”.
Yes, you can sport a big smile and let out off that “ho-ho-ho-ho” laugh of
yours. Even Archangel Gabby has laughed in front of me.
Christmas is a season of good spirit, good cheer,
good wine, good food and in general it is about everything good and nice. It
means I can polish off a bottle of good wine without thinking about saving for
tomorrow or about the bill that came with it or for that matter someone judging
my alcoholic tendencies, after all it’s Christmas. It is the merriest time of
the year, the weather nice and cool and celebrations are all around us.
Let us not forget it is also the time of caring- Of
sharing love and joy with our loved ones. It is the time for sharing. It is a
time when the privileged share their love, food and wealth with the less
privileged.
I wonder how you manage this. Getting gifts for
all? Do you fall short of gifts? Are there gifts that you are unable procure?
You know the ones you cannot get even on Amazon. What do you do then? Do you
buy consolatory gifts?
This year I thought I’ll share some things I have
for which I have no use but some less privileged soul might have a better use.
There are not many, just a couple of them. Oh, you can thank me later. Here’s
the list:
- Not everyone in this world is healthy like us. I mean like you and
me to be more precise. I’m sure you have felt the same when you have those
models on FTV.What is it without some belly fat I tell you -Ho Ho. And I
hear some people are trying really hard to put on some weight. I have
around 5-8 kilos on me which you can give to those skinny unhealthy girls
on FTV.I can live without it.Really.God knows they need some flesh on
them. Off course, some dresses would look quite loose on me but then I
won’t complain. Its Christmas time
and one should not be selfish.
- I am sure some poor kid in a poor country must have asked you this,
”Oh Santa, please bring a TV so that
I can watch Tom and Jerry every Sunday or at least make sure Dada gets
some extra money from his boss so that he can buy us one. And I promise I
will never never be a bad boy. I will share my chocolates with Lil Sarah.”
I have one at home.
I never watch it. My husband watches it too much (like his life and the energy of the universe depended on it).
Please take it for that little boy.
- I have a lot more stuff with me that I would love to share but then
who needs bad memories. Instead do you mind giving a little extra love to
those innocent little children who have no family? God has bestowed me
with loads of love and I don’t mind sharing it with others.
You have couple of days more to think about them.
Just in case you are running out of ideas or gift you are free to use the items
I have offered. Santa; Merry Christmas to you too! Let me get back to work.
Unlike you, rest of us have to work around the year to earn a vacation during Christmas.
You get back to wrapping those gifts.
XOXO

P.S: I know you have featured me in Naughty Souls list.
Yeah, I figured that out myself or well, may be I have my sources Nicky. Listen,
I’ve had wicked thoughts and words and some times actions as well. Some people
deserved all that and more. Humphhh.
P.P.S: Since you won’t be gifting me anything I
gifted myself a Kindle Touch. No Grinch can steal my Christmas from me. She was
christened “Swan”.
Dear Readers,
Joyeux Noel!*
Lots of Love
Blue Lotus
