Santa’s List Day

Y’all.  It’s that time of year again.

That’s right: Today is Santa’s List Day!

If you haven’t already, today is the perfect time to sit and think about about your wishlist.

…

Look at your life.  Look at your company.  Look at that LL Bean catalog sitting on your coffee table. And think about what would make your Christmas merrier this year:  Would better time management or project scheduling light up your holidays?  If so, no need to ask ol’ Saint Nick for that one…we’ve already covered ways to improve those things.  Better cash flow?  You’re talking to Mrs. Clause right here!  More time with your family?  Quit reading my corporate drivel, and go tell your kids you love them.

…

Or, if you find self-improvement as boring as I do*, feel free to share your floofy, ridiculous, totally not self-improvement-focused wishlist in the comments! After all, frivolity is just as important to a happy life as hard work.

As for my own completely irrelevant, not-even-remotely-pertinent-to-anything list for Santa this year, here you go:

• A fresh set of Tiffany wineglasses to replace a few of mine that have…met unfortunate ends
• Jeans that button
• Cashmere
• A Tesla…mostly because ‘Santa Mode’ would make my morning commute 9000% more festive
• Socks. (The sock monster is real, and he lives in my house.)
• A Burberry scarf so that I can finally retire the $10 Borberry special I bought at a mall kiosk fifteen years ago
• Champagne
• Tortoise shell headbands
• Prescription Maui Jims.  I miss the days when I could look cool in sunglasses without having to carry a white cane and a guide dog.

….

Also, not a Christmas wish per se, but if our office manager could have some kind of magical holiday vision in which she realizes how bad our current coffee is, that would be amazing.  As it is, our coffee tastes like overpriced burnt sadness every morning, and there’s no reason for this tragedy.***

*Yup.  There’s my confession for the day.  I may spend a lot of time writing about financial management and employee morale, but I actually spend the bulk of my life drooling over Chris-Craft catalogs and wishing that I could adopt a pet narwhal.  So uh, do as I say, and not as I do.**

**Or not.  Maybe if we work together, we can figure out how to make this narwhal thing happen!

***I love you, Rachael.  I know you mean well.  This is just one of the dangers of leaving coffee selection to someone who doesn’t drink coffee.
