Not long now til the jolly man in red comes a ho ho ho-ing!  I wonder what he has for me in his little santa sack of goodies!  Please, please, please let it be a shiny new bicycle...I've been a good girl!!

I know you are expecting me to say "all I want for xmas is world peace" and even though this may be true, I sometimes, selfishly, do like to get something at xmas.  Most of the time it doesn't actually matter what it is, however, occasionally I wish for something special.

Contrary to belief, it is ok to want material things, and equally important not to feel guilty about it.  This is not to say we should go crazy with our wants and expectations, however, some healthy ones never go astray.  Wants are desires which create healthy burning fires in our bellies to achieve goals and reach our potential.   So what is wrong with wanting something?

So when you visit Santa next, don't feel guilty about asking for what you desire and at the same time, send some love, hope and peace to the world.  You never know, miracles do happen at Christmas!!

Merry Xmas!  Look after your loved ones and I look forward to seeing you all in 2010.
