Dear Santa,
I know I’ve left my run a bit late in getting my Christmas Wish List to you this year, but, like most Mum’s at this time of year, I’ve been flat out sipping on G&T’s while watching re-runs of The Real Housewives of Melbourne entertaining the kids, baking, eating the baking, buying gifts, wrapping gifts, hiding gifts, forgetting where I’ve hidden gifts and then spending bloody hours searching for them all while remaining calm yelling things like, “Where the hell did you put…? Oh never mind, found them” to my long suffering and very patient husband!
But I’ve managed to convince the kids that a swim in the pool before yet another Summer storm rolls in would be a top idea, which has given me approximately 12.5 minutes of time to myself, so I’ll make this year’s Letter To Santa a quick one.
Ok, so first up, thanks so much for the gorgeous bracelet you left under the tree for me last year. I love it and have worn it many times this year. I’ve also spent a fair bit of time thinking about how it’s not a Thermomix. A thought that disturbs me greatly.
You see Santa, once upon a time I would’ve loved seeing little boxes filled with sparkly things under the Christmas tree, but now that I’m hurtling towards 42 and seem to have developed a burning desire to make preservative free jam in under 8 minutes, my one and only wish this year is for a Thermomix to be waiting for me to excitedly open on Christmas morning.
Having said that, I know that it is a wish that won’t come true.
Mostly because 3 days notice isn’t enough time for you to get in touch with a Thermomix consultant, organise a time to attend a demo of the product AND place an order for one all before you need to saddle up in the front of the sleigh and head off around the world on your annual gift giving program. And I’m ok with that.
I mean, I am very late in submitting my request and I know you’re not a mind reader, so how about we extend things until my birthday in March?
I know you don’t deliver then, but I’m fairly sure my husband will be reading this, so you can probably leave things with him to sort out.
I wonder if Mrs Claus might know of a Thermomix consultant that Scott could get in touch with? One that would perhaps be kind enough to NOT mention that ridiculous price of the superior jam making machine? Maybe one who instead would mention that a Thermie is a great little machine for brewing beer and making mars bars when Scott calls her?
Thanks Santa. If you could organise that for me I’d really appreciate it.
And just think, if all goes to plan, when you visit us next year I’ll be able to leave you a buffet of Thermomix treats. There’ll be everything from Gluten Free brownies to Paleo cookies! Homemade pizza and seafood risotto! All made in under 10 minutes! Which of course will leave me more time to shop hang out with my family. What more could a busy Mum want?!
Oh and Santa…before you go, there’s one last thing:
Thanks SO much!
Love, Kirsten x
Do you own a Thermomix? Or, like me, are you stuck with a large body and small bank account instead?!
