Dear Santa:

All I want for Christmas is for my Siamese to get over his life threatening illness. He is my heart.

Love,
GoTravel

Dear Santa: please protect the one near and dear; keep the QM2 safe - we're coming; send cheer to those Rover folks we laughed with in Botswana; and give the world a peaceful holiday and wonderful 2005.

Santa -

Please bring Go's kitty the meds & talented, caring vet she needs to get better!

(Go, sick cats are no fun & a heart full of worry too. Been there & sympathize. Will keep you & kitty in my thoughts. Hope they are doing better soon.)

Please bring me just three things:
1. Trip to Italy. (I'll even go to the Ferarri & Ducati Factories with DH!)
2. Trip to Caribbean. Any island, not picky.
3. More vacation time at work!

Thanks Santa! I'm not leaving you cookies...I'm leaving you CHEESE!

I believe in you! Trish

Best wishes to Go and her kitty. This time last year my wonderful 14 year old collie was very ill, and the result was not good. It breaks your heart.

Santa:
1. Please bring me more air and hotel miles so I can have another free weekend in Paris.
2. Australia!

I'm leaving you my famous cheesecake!

I believe too!

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth....sinking into a freshly baked croissant at sidewalk cafe in Paris or a beignet at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans or shepards pie at a pub in London or some gelatee in Rome.

No Red Rider BB guns for me. I don't want to poke my eye out.

Dear Santa;

My wishes:
Peace in the world.
Safety for our troops.
Mr. Bin Laden's capture.
Health for my family and friends.
Smooth sailing and happy travels to all my Fodorite friends.

Buckeyemom

Forgot to add a Buckeye Win in the Alamo Bowl, Maurice Clarett to grow up and GoTravel's kitty....

OH, OH, OH!!!
Sorry, Not this Santa_Claus, Buckeyemom.
I'm in the "gift-giving-business".
I don't do "world peace" and intangible social issues.

At midnight mass, you may wish for this list of items to be granted you...

Merry Christmas!

Travel Wish List:

1.Make my ATA tickets "work" and get me to Fort Lauderdale on the correct day in Feb.- and while you're at it keep ATA in business as they have been the only "good" airline to let our bird fly in the passenger cabin. They deserve it, Santa.

2. Santa, give those of us to the South and Southwest of Chicago our own airport- Peotone looks mighty good for this, Santa!

3. Give us the gift of a renewed and OPEN I-80/94 into Michigan and safety for all those who travel on it.

Dear Santa,

I know my dear husband and dear children want to go to Hawaii. We must make our decision soon but I am not sure I want to go because I am a coward.

Please give me the courage to go to Hawaii. I hate to fly and while I am usually okay for 5 hours on a plane, a 10 hour flight might be more than I can handle. How do you fly your sleigh all around the world without getting scared?

Also, a little peace in the world would be nice and help GoTravel's kitty to get better.

I will leave a hot toddy for you under the tree and some feed for your reindeer.

with love and kisses,
seetheworld

....that our troops in Iraq will soon be traveling home.

chicgal, I can't believe it. Your wish list WORKS!

I posted that yesterday and I wake up today to the headline that ATA is STAYING and Southwest has taken over 6 or 8 of their gates. The Chicago employees stay and all scheduled flights are going. Watch out, everybody, what you wish for. Because when I posted that yesterday it was NOT in the cards at all. And here we are with my wish accomplished.

Good going Santa! Maybe you can get that peace thing started also!
