Christmas List

You know when you are just wandering about, doing stuff and minding your own business and you see Father Christmas sitting on a seat opposite you on the Underground reading the paper or you see him out and about shopping in Canary Wharf...the first thing that might come to mind is that Christmas is on its way (unless of course its June and then you may have issues).

When I saw Santa Claus this week...the first thing I thought about was getting my camera out and getting a photo of him. So now when I write my letter to Father Christmas I can send him some pictures of himself out of his work environment - no presents, bag, sleigh, reindeer, children, elves...just some ordinary shots to put in his album...its nice to lose the stereotype.

I've begun my list, so far I have the following on it:

• Cheese Cake
• World Peace (I would substitute world peace for cheese cake)
• Proof that Man really did land on the Moon
• Make Poverty History
• The ability to play Silent Night on the guitar (or any other song for that matter)
• An introduction to public speaking and stand-up comedy course
• Use of the % of my brain I do not use.
• A small inanimate object which looks, smells and tastes like cheesecake.
• Reversal of Damage done to the Environment.
• The Meaning of Life ie. why 42? Does it mean I will know when I'm 42?
• An invisible Cloak of Happiness, Health & Safety that I can wrap Jane in.
• The ingredients and recipe for Cheesecake and the finished article.
• To hear Misere Mei live in a ginormous cathedral-like building when I am 82 and to die quietly then in my sleep hearing its echo.
• A satsuma - always have to smell satsumas Christmas morning
• Somewhere for my brother and girlfriend to stay when they visit at Christmas ie. not the balcony as its too draughty.
• Immortality for all those I love...or at least the ability to speed-clone if necessary.
• A prescription for laughter pills
• A tongue which can eat endless amounts of fresh pineapple without it getting pitted and sore
• non-dodgey ankles
• An anti-cynicism shield
• chocolate

The list is a work in progress...there is more to come.
