Dear Santa.


Dear Santa,

I can't claim to have been a good boy this year. I've said nasty things, had lots of evil thoughts, and I've cast spells on certain of my French neighbours.

I really don't know why I bother writing to you each year. As usual, you totally ignored my wishes last year, and I presume you will do so again this year.

Anyway, if you change your ways and are prepared to give me what I ask for, I had thought of asking you for a Thistle Shaped Whiskey glass, but I've just found one. Instead I would really like two new legs, two new hips, a new right knee, and a decent painless lower back. I'm sure I asked for the same things last year but because you chose to ignore me they've all got worse.

Please send tummy-tickles and a few carrots to the Reindeer, and if my wishes are granted I shall leave a glass of single malt whisky (in an ordinary tumbler), and a mince pie by the fireside on Boxing Day night (not before!).

Many thanks. Cro xx

    1. It's the least he could do for me, considering how faithful I've been over the decades.

  4. Santa would not have time to deliver presents if he had to fix all the aching joints in the world! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.

    1. Don't be so pessimistic; It's only mine I want fixed. He can do the others later.

  5. Santa will put your name on the list for your requests. There are probably a few million ahead of you needing the same things, so you may need to remind him next year!

    1. I've got Mrs Claus tied-up in the cellar, so he'd better bring me something; or else.

  7. Good health is what it's all about. If you've got that you can do anything. Hope Santa takes note.

    1. Yes, me too. I'm not too bad, but there's room for improvement.

    We all have those problems, take two Ibuprofen and write me next year.
    Yours once again,

    1. I might try THREE Ibuprofens, I tried two before and it didn't work.

  11. Consider seeing a Homeopath or Chiropractor. I have friends that rely on them for the types of issues you describe. Nothing ventured, nothing lost.

    1. I really don't fancy the idea, but thank you for the suggestion.
