Dear Santa,

Ok, ok, forget the two front teeth. I want a whole lot more than that. Besides, what in the world would I do with two more front teeth? And forget this “I don’t believe in Santa” thing either. I believe, I believe, I believe. So please don’t forget me again this year. I’ve been good, (well, depending exactly how you define “good”). So Santa, sit down, grab a cup of egg nog and put your total focus and attention on my list for Christmas. Here goes: “Santa, this year I want….

For you to give everyone in the world a “my pillow” so those “my pillow” commercials stop. Please!!!

Send me some more items for my tool box. Actually just two. More duct tape and another tube or two of super glue.

Ah, maybe some super glue remover too. Don’t ask.

For you to outlaw liver and onions. You can outlaw things, can’t you? Wait, don’t outlaw onions, just liver!!

Term limits for everyone in political office. Yep, if the Prez has to abide by limits, so should everyone else.

That “Do Not Call” telemarketer list to actually work. By the way Santa, do you get those annoying calls???

The volume on my TV to be consistent on every channel. Should that be so hard?

The Chiefs to win the Super Bowl and the Yankees to win the World Series. I think the Cubs have won just about enough!!!

There, that’s not too much stuff, is it? And in looking over my list, most, if not all, are relatively easy to get done. At least from my point of view. I gotta tell ya Santa, if you can make this list a “done deal,” 2017 could be a really good year for me. And I know both of us certainly want that, don’t we? Anyway before I let you go, I do want to thank you for the weather, sports and holidays. Just think, without these three topics, conversations would come to a screeching halt. By the way, how is the weather up north there and can you believe that the Hawkeyes are going to the Outback Bowl? Oh yea and Merry Christmas.

That’s The Way I See it. What’s your list look like? Let me know at jsheda@indytel.com or call me at 319.327.4640. Don’t forget my presents again this year!!!
