Letter to Santa
December 24, 2009
I found this in our little letters to Santa “mailbox” I love the phonetic spelling. And honestly I am just happy that there are not any last minute present must-haves in the letter.
We are down to the wire and I don’t have most of the present wrapping done. I like to live on the edge.

It was crazy windy today, gusts of 30mph. And cold. You know, relatively speaking.
Today I had to go out to the grocery store. I really did not think that it was going to be that busy. I guess there are more procrastinators out there like me than I realized. I pulled in to the grocery store parking lot and it was FULL. As in there were no parking places. I don’t even like going to the grocery store when the parking lot if half full
I circled once and then left to go to that store I hate and pretend not to shop at. Seriously, I felt like I had walked into the people of walmart website.
While in there Miles convinced me to buy a dozen donuts shaped and decorated like snowmen. He was very excited by these snowmen. It took forever to get through the store and check out. We stepped out of the doors what felt like hours later and a huge gust of wind came along. It grabbed our box of donuts from the top of our groceries in the cart and blew it across the parking lot like it was a sheet of newspaper. It landed face down half way across the parking lot. Where it was promptly run over.
Miles was distraught and said it was the SADDEST THING that has ever happened.

I’m with Miles. That is the saddest thing that has ever happened. Poor snowmen.
December 24th, 2009 at 10:22 pmViolence against donuts? Miles was right. That is the SADDEST THING. Merry Christmas Chris. I’m sorry you are having such a hard time.
December 24th, 2009 at 11:08 pmWow! That’s a scene right out of the “Christmas with the Kranks” movie! The holiday ham in a can falls out of the broke bag and rolls into the street where a semi runs over it. Poor Miles. I’m sure he will cheer up when he sees his presents tomorrow. Merry Christmas! =)
December 24th, 2009 at 11:20 pmWell, that letter is definitely one of the cutest I have ever seen (and I teach kindergarten, so I know these things, I see lots of cute stuff!), and as for the donuts, that is indeed very sad. Did you go back in and get him another box?
December 25th, 2009 at 12:06 amI love this. I hope you keep this along with the 50 bajillion other items you are keeping.
Merry Christmas!
December 25th, 2009 at 12:11 amI think I would be weeping if those had been my doughnuts.
December 25th, 2009 at 12:39 amwell it may not be THE saddest thing that ever happened but it sure is sad!!
December 25th, 2009 at 1:46 amTHAT is the saddest thing that has ever happened! I just finished wrapping, after being up til nearly 4am last night working on the wrapping, and have just one more thing to assemble. i can’t imagine the amount of wrapping that happens in your house! merry christmas.
December 25th, 2009 at 3:28 amThat is the saddest thing ever!
And yes the wind was CRAZY yesterday.
December 25th, 2009 at 9:34 amMerry Christmas!!
Yes the loss of the donuts it the saddest thing ever, ha ha ha.
December 25th, 2009 at 1:07 pmWhile I am sorry for Miles’s lost, that was the funniest thing I have read all day! Merry Christmas!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:17 pmI agree…I think that is the saddest thing ever
December 25th, 2009 at 5:07 pmWhen you’re five, the loss of snowmen doughnuts is indeed a tragedy. Mind you, it’s not a whole lotta fun for the mom who has just braved the last-minute Christmas rush at the grocery store, either.
Hope your day has been happy!
December 25th, 2009 at 8:26 pmThat is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time (sorry Miles).
December 25th, 2009 at 9:55 pmI agree; that IS the saddest thing ever! Poor Miles.
BTW, we call those breezes here in the Mojave Desert, where we regularly have wind gusts of 75mph.
Yeah, I love it here.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:37 pmMan- dead snowman donuts. Really sad.
But also hilarious.
Peace.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:42 pmPoor Miles!
December 27th, 2009 at 8:57 amAnd then you walked in and got more, right? RIGHT?
December 29th, 2009 at 2:36 pmAs usual, I’m with Miles…very sad.
