Dear Santa,

I hope that you and Mrs. Claus have had an excellent year. You deserve it!

I have been a pretty good girl this year. It's true that I've been on the selfish side, have gotten a tad jealous and don't always treat Tom the way he deserves. But I am trying to do better. I'm hoping in spite of my imperfections that I've made your Nice list. :o)

Oh and before I forget...thank you so much for last year's gifts. I think it was one of my best Christmases yet! Though I think most of that was because my whole family was home and we didn't have any arguing. A true Christmas miracle!

As to the things that I would like to see under the tree (or nearby would be fine) this year:

1. 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges by Elizabeth Kartchner- always looking for new ideas to scrapbook

2. A Walmart Gift Card- yep again! I'm constantly ordering photos.

3. Wives & Daughters on DVD- such a good movie!

4. North & South on DVD- what can I say? Elizabeth Gaskell knows where it's at!

5. Move Over Darling on DVD- Doris Day is my favorite!

6. Pillow Talk on DVD- a must have for my Doris Day collection.

7. The Doris Day Show Season 1- such a good season! Way better than the ones to follow.

8. My Parent's Entertainment Center- now this shouldn't be too hard to get. Just get them a new one that will look great in their family room with their flat screen TV. I would also need you to encourage my dad to drive their old one down to Eugene. May take a little work, but I know you can do it!

9. Calamity Jane Soundtrack- now there are two out there, and I want the one that includes the song By The Light of the Silvery Moon.

10. A Laptop with Wireless Capabilities- I could then take it to the library and not have to wait to get on a computer! I could also use it for more than an hour. (Maybe I could mooch off of other peoples' wireless- but would that put me on your naughty list?)

11. To test positive- and no not for any diseases.

12. Sue Barton Nurse Books- I already own Sue Barton Student Nurse

13. If the laptop is out of the question do you think you could encourage my dad to update my two old computers? They both have issues and I'm running out of room for pictures.

14. Slice Design Cards: Mix & Mingle or Travel USA or Fa La La

15. Slice Design Card Storage

16. Knee High Socks- it is freezing in our apartment and socks like this help to keep me warm.

Ok so I am asking for a lot but I'm honestly not expecting it all. Just thought I would give you a few ideas to choose from. Plus I'm then more likely to be surprised! :o)

Good luck this holiday season! I'll do my best to be asleep when you come.

Love, Melissa
