My letter to Santa Claus

Also, its hard not to be envious of guys with flash cars, you understand, I want to showoff but I can't, my car just isn't loud enough. I did try to act cool like it didn't matter. Does that count?

I know I'm not supposed to pig out on sweets and chocolates, but they are a staple food group you know. I've always trusted my instinct on this, and if my body really needed broccoli or cauliflower surely I'd crave them as much as I crave jelly babies, fudge or Mars bars.

So as you can see I have tried to be good, and I know good boys get what they ask for, so Santa, won't you please read this letter and get your little helpers to load your sleigh with everything on my list.

I wanna new laptop, the old one is getting old. Those shiny white macbooks look really cool and they're small enough to be useful but could you add the extra stuff I need like a mouse, another battery, and some awesome shoot-em-up games.

Back when I was a kid you got me a new bike, but it was boring. Sorry. I don't mean to upset you but all my friends got BMX bikes and you gave me a normal road bike that wasn't so cool. My friends tried to cheer me up, and I even sent my letter early the next year so I could be on top of the list for a BMX, but you gave me a remote control car, and it was 'so six months ago'. Come on Santa, this year I want a new bike. But I want one of those super lightweight road bikes with shock absorbers and disk brakes, and maybe even those new gear systems that hardly need any pedalling at all. Come on Santa pleeeease!

Ooh, and I need a new video camera, the old one is great but its just for home movies, now I want one of those beautiful little hard drive cameras with the totally flash leica lenses and whizzy surround sound microphones, yeah, and could ya get me a tripod that works. The one I've got now sorta doesn't move from side to side very well so my panning looks a little jerky.

Last on the list Santa, can you find a way to make a few of those blockhead politicians talk to each other so next year they can make nice and make our little blue ball a safer place to live. That would be really awesome, well I gotta go, but you have a great Christmas yourself, we'll leave a wee tipple for you and some munchies for the reindeer,

Thanks Santa, from Me
