Alice, what do i want for Christmas?

Dear alice,

Happy Holidays dahling. Tis the season of egg nogging, tree trimming, and gift giving. As you know, Halloween is really the only holiday i go gaga for, however i try to get into the spirit, as i love to shop and i love giving gifts. Which leads to the question i'm most often asked. "Teddy, what do you want for Christmas"

Well Alice, as i sit in my bed on this chilly December morning, I know exactly what i want...

I want to wake up Christmas morning to the sound of children's feet running down the stairs

I want my wife and I to worry about our son, who is off to war, only to see him walk through our front door on Christmas day...

I want my boyfriend to call me at 11:59pm on Christmas eve, just so he can tell me that he loves me at Midnight...

I want my deaf son to use his voice for the first time.

I want my parents to drive through the snow, to have dinner with me and my husband, so i can tell them they're going to be grandparents.

For Christmas i want to wake up lying next to someone, who has no where to be but with me

I want to open a gift that has a note in it written in crayon "Daddy, I love you"

i want to drive up to the home of my son and his new wife, and see the tiny little face of my granddaughter peering through the window.

Alice, for Christmas i want to watch my daughter, my boyfriend and the dog try to build a snowman.

I want to feel my baby kick inside his mummy's tummy

I want to order Chinese take out and have a picnic on the floor of my boyfriend's office because he has to work late.

I want my Jamaican father to have breakfast with my white boyfriend and our Asian daughter.

On Christmas i want to lay flowers on my wife's grave and tell her I'll see her soon.

Alice if it's possible, for Christmas all I want is to hear those words...

Merry Christmas Alice Dahling,

Love Teddy A.
