Dear Santa

Dear Santa,
thank you for bringing us a brother.
Someone to eat cookies on winter days,
someone to drink hot chocolate with on winter nights.
Watching Hallmark movies
and the puppies snooze and warm soft blankets,
that’s the best.
Our family has never been a conventional one,
but our holiday spirit is strong.
Dear Santa,
thank you for sending my sister a drinking buddy.
Peppermint schnapps, and lemon juice,
a brand new holiday classic.
Dear Santa,
thank you for helping us make a new tradition!
Putting on Christmas pajamas,
piling the car and singing Christmas carols all the way to Florida.
