I don’t want very much for Christmas/Hanukkah this year. In fact, I really just want the person reading this to be happy. Friends are the fruit cake of life: some nutty, some soaked in alcohol, and some sweet. But mix them together and they’re my friends. And I could not be more blessed.
At Christmas/Hanukkah you always hear people talking about what they want and/or what they bought.
So, I figured I’d do the same.
Dear Santa,
I want people who are sick with no cure to be able to be cured. I want children with no families to be adopted. I want people to never have to worry about food, shelter and heat. I want peace and love for everyone.
But if that’s too much to ask for…can I please just get a new desk chair?
Clearly, this one is broken.
* Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah y’all.
What do YOU want this holiday season?
This year I want my friend to get a new chair so she will stop falling on her cute face.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joeux Noel, Frohe Weihnachten, and a Merry Festivus to you as well, Mel. I like the friends/ fruit cake analogy, although, just like that fruitcake that shows up every year, you are not exactly sure what they are made of…
I hope you get your chair in the end. Those springs look like they could be a real pain in the a$$. Of course, I’m sure when you fell, it was all sorts of graceful.
All I want for Christmas is my sanity back.
I want you to get a new chair. For real. Do you wear your clothes until they fall apart, too? I do. It’s a habit I can’t break. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you, my very funny friend.
From one fruitcake to another, merry merry Meleah. May they all be one putts in 2012.
That chair is in really sad shape. Put the poor thing out of its misery. I hope you get your new chair as well as all the other wishes. Happy Holidays!
Oh my lord ! You sit on that ?!
Happy festivities !
And get a good chair !
Nice holiday wishes, Meleah! I hope that new chair arrives soon, the current one looks dangerous, spring ahead…fall back! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Love you Melz 🙂 Here’s hoping you get a new chair. Or we can go thrift shopping for one next time I’m with you.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hanukkah. I hope your holidays are as great as every family event of yours. And I’m wishing for some happiness and cures too.
MERRY GENERIC ALL-PURPOSE HOLIDAY TO ALL!
MERRY GENERIC ALL-PURPOSE HOLIDAY TO ALL!
Merry Christmas, Meleah! Those are some wonderful wishes on your list to Santa. I wish for those things, too. We are helping Santa along a bit by making donations to the food bank in lieu of gifts. However, you should have a comfy place to sit, so I am adding one special chair to my list.
Holy Schnikies, I could totally fix that there chair. Sorry you live so stinkin far away.
Falling on your face is bad for the ta-ta’s better be careful.
Herry Hanukkristmas Meleah! I hope you get your new chair, and everything else on your list too. If I were Santa, I’d make sure of it! 🙂
I want everyone I love to not be stressed for Christmas. Especially those friends whose PJs keep getting caught on chair springs. Hope Santa can fit a new chair down the chimney. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
That’s some chair! I hope you have a lovely Christmas/Hanukkah Meleah.
I wish for you to be happy and I wish you for you to get the best blogging chair EVER! If you start a KickStart campaign for it, I will totally donate. You’ve earned it in the smiles and laughs that you have given me.
As I know you’ve had a tough season, I’ll share something — I had a flip-out/meltdown tonight. Full-on tears in front of the kids as I lamented how under-appreciated and over-tired I was (not my finest moment!). My daughter looked at me and said, “I love you, Mommy. Why don’t you think about something happy? Like pink and Santa and hugs”. Enough said.
So I am wishing you something happy to think on — like a brand new chair!
🙂

I started off with tears in my eyes because of your wish, and ended up LOL-ing. You’re the best, Mel. Merry Christmas! I hope you get a new chair. 😉
Thank you!
Oh yeah…
Nobody falls as “gracefully” as I do.
I hope you get your sanity back, Agg!
Oh snap, Lisa.
I totally wear my clothes until they completely fall apart.
I have a pair of pajama pants that are almost dust!
Thank you!
I’m so DONE with 2011.
This has NOT been a great year.
Thank you, Anne.
This char is a hot mess, Jaffer!
Just like me.
But seriously, it’s getting a little ridiculous.
Same to you, Marty!
Totes.
Thank you, Jim.
You’re the bestest. For realz.
Ahahhahahahahahhahaha
Awwww.
And thank you, Linda!
🙂
Really, Madge?
This chair can be fixed?
Tell me how!
Thank you, Nicky!
xoxoxoxo
Thank you, Selma.
I don’t think a new chair is too much to ask for!
You too, Babs!
🙂
Awwwwwwww!!!
Thank you, Traci.
Now I am going to spend the day thinking of pink & Santa Hugs.
xoxoxo
Thanks, girl.
I needed to laugh too this week.
Enough with the tears!
OMG…I’m looking at that chair and thinking it looks exactly like my computer chair! The one I have now is FALLING apart. I have to put a cushioned pillow on the seat part because it hurts my ASS – HA!
Wishing you and your family a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!
And please know what a joy, pleasure, and honor it’s been getting to know you through our blogs these past few years. And one of these days, we HAVE to meet in person!
X ya, my dear Libra friend!
((((( Meleah )))))
XOXOX
Awwwwwwww! Ron!
I love you.
SO MUCH.
Your comment made my day!
xoxoxo
you’ll have to pull the uppholstery off, take the springs and the stuffing out, grab some cardboard and make a template for the seat that you take down to the lumber store and have them cut you some plywood to fit. Run over to the fabric store grab some batting and put it all back together. Leave the springs out.
You. Rule.
Or you could have your dad take all day to cut it with a hand saw. they make small sheets of plywood it’s called project board.
Oh, if I can’t get a NEW chair?
Then I am definitely asking my DAD to fix it.
🙂
Knowing you, I’m sure you fell with “style”. That’s one Meleahvideo I would love to see. Glad you didn’t hurt anything important like your sense of humor.
And. BTW, sanity is way overrated.
I hope Santa listens to your list Chair and all!!!!
Me too!
That chair is obviously well-loved but it’s time for a Viking burial if only because when you sit on it, it looks like you have springs sticking out of your butt!
Happy Kringle and a Merry Goo Year!

For serious!!
HA!!
You definitely got your money’s worth out of that chair. For Christmas I’d like to be labeled as the milk that accompanies your slice of fruitcake friends.
Awwwww… Okay!
Thanks, Kelly!
Wonderful wishes! I hope they come true!
Your desk chair, though broken, is charming. Are you sure you want to replace it?
I want time with my family. Happy time. No stress and strain time. Just happy to be together time. Oh, and also…a new laptop. (Actually, I know I’m getting one. I just have to go pick it out… but I’m waiting until after Christmas.)
Our uncomfortable desk chair is what spawned a very expensive IKEA trip…
