I know most people write you a letter asking for loads of things for themselves for Christmas but this year is a little different for me.  I’m not going to lie it’s been a pretty rough year for me overall, but I’m not going to go into all that since you already know gaming Saint Nick.  It’s been over three years since I last saw my whole family together for Christmas and that was after I got out of the military. And I can’t make it again this year either because I’m living paycheck to paycheck and I still haven’t gotten paid vacation at work.

USS Oscar Austin DDG 79 my first Christmas away from home.

So I’ll make this simple Santa all I want for Christmas is for my family to be happy, maybe get my parents an Xbox one so they can enjoy all those crazy new FPS games together.  I want my girlfriend and her family to have a great holiday too.  I want to get her the parts she needs to build a new computer and her family a nice new television.  I think the only thing I want this year is the same thing I’ve been asking for the last two years. An immersion blender, I really miss mine and want a nice shiny stainless steel one.

But if all this is too much all I really want is to see the smile on their faces christmas morning when they unwrap their gifts.  I swear I’ve been good all year Santa I’ll even make you cookies and set out coffee for you.  I know it’ll be a long night and coffee is better then milk any day of the week.

Yours Truly,
