Dear Santa,
I know it's only the middle of the year, but I figured I'd write you early so you'd have plenty of time to work on my Christmas gift this year. It might be a hard one to find.
I'd really love it if under the Christmas tree this year, there could a person who is a runner (or at least someone who is athletic/or has a hobby they are passionate about and can understand my love of running), who loves kids (at least, who loves my kid - or is willing to consider loving my kid), is couragous and brave, likes to talk, is funny, intelligent, likes scrabble, grooves to good music (or at least doesn't mind when I groove to good music), isn't worried about what other people think, is open-minded, who allows people who have their own thoughts and emotions, who is willing to explore their self and hopes and dreams, who has boundaries, knows how to express their feelings, isn't afraid at the thought of being a step-parent, wants to suck all the juicy drops out of the goodness of life, who sees the world as a glass half-full yet is realistic, who isn't fearful, who appreciates me for me, and who - most importantly of all - loves me and my son.
Now I know this is a tall order, but I won't lose faith that this person is out there somewhere.
Thanks Santa!
~Angie
PS Can you help my knee feel better so I can run again soon? I'd really like that :)

I think that you will find that and a whole lot more.

If Santa comes up short, try the Neiman Marcus catalog. I'm told they have everything a gal could desire in there. :-)

That was cute to do a Dear Santa in May :) You will find what you are looking for - I'm sure of it!

Tall order...I might steal the description:) Unlike Javamom, I don't think it's that easy to find "that and more" (more? hmm, that's already too much to ask poor Santa), but like you, I will NOT settle for less. Either that or nothing.
I think another phone call is in order. For me too:)

Great Santa letter, and very smart to put it out there!
Love the art on the earlier post!

Good thing you gave Santa advance notice - that sounds like a custom order. Good luck!

Best of luck with your Dear Santa list. There has got to be a ton of guys like that in Tucson. Hope one finds his way to you.

At the very least I am so glad you know what you want and what you deserve in a partner. That often can be the most difficult step and you're way past that! ;)

"wants to suck all the juicy drops out of the goodness of life"
That is an awesome way of putting it.
