That's the big question, isn't it? We'll get asked that question many times over the course of December, and we'll probably ask it ourselves to several people. It can be a tough question, or it can be an easy question. Some people know exactly how to answer it. "I want an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" And some people have no idea whatsoever what they want. In her letter to Santa (as dictated to my wife) my youngest daughter once said, "Please bring me a present, not a froggy. I want a froggy and a toy dinosaur and a toy lion in the present." (She got a froggy. She liked it.)

| Merry Christmas to all!!! |
So, what do I want for Christmas this year? Not much. Just a few things like:
*I would like an end to partisan bickering, so that members of both parties could spend more time working to continue to make this nation a wonderful place to live instead of calling each other names and worrying about getting re-elected.
*I would like the Minnesota Vikings to win the Super Bowl this year. (Just one championship. That's all I'm asking for! C'mon, if Tampa Bay can have a championship why can't the Vikings?)
*I would like automatic computer updates that update at convenient times for me, and don't mess up my computer.
*I would like all television commercials to be rated "G." I shouldn't have to have the "birds and the bees" talk with my kids because of an advertisement during a timeout in the basketball game.
*I would like some egg nog.
*I would like good health for me and my family. And my friends. And other people, too.
*I would like world peace.
*I would like lettuce to taste like bacon.
*I would like to be able to tell my children something once, and have them hear me and do the thing I wanted them to do after only telling them one time.
*I would like happiness for me and my family. And my friends. And other people, too.
(I don't want to be too greedy. I'll settle for any one of these things.)
