Dear Santa

I don’t have children and it’s been more than a few years since I wrote a Christmas letter to Santa, but I thought it was as good a time as any to (e)mail my wish list to the big man in red.

Dear Santa,
I’ve tried to be good this year. Although it’s not always easy. But compared to the year I turned eight, I’ve been very good. So here’s my list. I would like:

• A traffic-free Boston, allowing for a seamless commute. Both ways, please!
• 25 hours in a day. I’ll settle for two days a week. Could you make them Saturday and Sunday if possible?
• No more bad hair days
• Conference rooms available whenever I need them
• Zero-calorie chocolate
• A guarantee that my flu shot will do its job
• Spam-free, virus-free email
• No repeat of last winter’s snowfall
• A hiatus on all sales phone calls
• No line at lunch today in the cafeteria
• A parking spot in the front row at the mall
• A shuttle waiting for me whenever I need one
• Outlook to never say “Not Responding” again
• A record-breaking number of Likes on my next Facebook post, no matter what it is
• A clutter-free desk
• Perfect syncing of my iPhone calendar and my Outlook calendar
• 15% annual rate of return on my 403(b)
• An EPIC New Year
• A crisis-free week on my next On Call rotation
• Hundreds of hits on our blog
• Continued miracles at Dana-Farber with the help of unbelievable doctors

I’m hoping the Magic of Christmas can deliver some of these. I can leave some cookies and milk out, if that helps.

What’s on your list?
