Dear Santa,

This isn't going to be your typical Christmas letter Santa...As Christmas approaches we all need to remember what it really represents, the birth of Jesus Christ. I realized this when Hudson was singing Happy Birthday to Jesus at his mother's day out program last week. I have so much to be thankful for and I unfortunately take it for granted. I have a nice house with 3 people in it who love me unconditionally. I have 2 healthy, beautiful babies, a job that I love going to, parents who raised me well, brothers who annoy the heck out of me but would do anything for me and the list goes on.
I work in a low socioeconomic school with some students who can't afford to pay their utility bills, or have clean clothes to wear. I have never had to want, and for that I say thank you God. Thank you for all of your blessings. I am sorry if I have been ungrateful. I know I am a sinner, I curse like a sailor and drink like a fish sometimes but overall I try to be a good person. I am a good wife and an even better mom and I am going to try to be an even better person.
Children today are so spoiled with Christmas gifts (mine included). I want my children to realize that Christmas is about being together and counting your blessings and I have a lot to count. So Santa I don't need anything this year. I just want to be with my wonderful family and enjoy some much needed relaxation over the holidays. Please bless those who do have a Christmas list. Thank you "Santa."
