Santa would like to bring some surprises to the Bussey children - this is
what Santa is considering:
luggage (light weight and easy to pack like what he brought Kathryn and
Reid last year)
new mattress and box springs and/or bedding
vacuum cleaner
ski attire
do any of these ideas get you excited? Are there other items that Santa
should know about? Please help Santa by responding to this email with your
preferences
I guess you are officially a grown-up when "necessities" become exciting. (Actually all of these items are really luxuries in most cases just kind of more utilitarian luxuries).
And if anyone is looking to buy a vacuum cleaner, do as my mother told me and only buy a really good one. I took her advice: I borrowed a friends and used a broom until I could go to the Oreck store and pick out my beauty. The way I see it this is good advice on three counts:
1.) You have a lifetime guarantee and annual "tune-ups" are included so you will never have to buy another vacuum cleaner again.
2.) If you haven't been using your vacuum cleaner as much as you should have then you can just set it out when company comes over. Then your company is pretty sure you are really serious about housekeeping but just got tied up cooking dinner for them or saving small children.
3.) When the luster of the new vacuum wears off and your company figures you out, then you can hire a housekeeper who will enjoy getting to use an awesome (instead of poorly crafted and powerless) vacuum cleaner and make your home look as nice as your cleaning supplies.
On that note, I'm going to go start baking cookies...and put aside some for Santa.
What is Santa bringing to you this Christmas?
