I hope that I am not too late to submit my Santa’s wish list now that Santa has finally arrived in the city of Toronto. It is the time of year that I love most. When I get to fantasize a bit; to wish for those shiny new electronic gadgets, new kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and why not? For better things for the world!
This is the time of the year when the lyrics of so many Christmas songs come floating back into my mind to remind me of what I need to do. First off is the famous one by Michael Jackson “some day at Christmas” where Michael wishes for so much. Among his wishes? A world where men are free! Peace on earth! No more hate, just love! No more hungry children!
I know; this part of my wish list could be viewed as me reaching for the sky but I can only hope cant’ I? The pots and pans, the kitchen utensils, and the shiny new gadgets are all so much easier to obtain so why not put a bit of meaningful spice into my list and ask Santa to see what he can do?
I can only hope that somehow Santa can get through to those world leaders as they sleep to convince them to listen to Michael. To those terrorists to drop their guns, and to those with grudges and distorted ideas to change their minds.
Just my humble two cents for today.
