All I Want For Christmas

The word ‘ALL’ really applies here because there is quite a bit on the list this year.

  1. May 2020 end without any more bad surprises or disasters. No new virus. No volcanoes. No earthquakes. No scandals. We’ve had enough. Let 2020 go quietly. Please!
  2. May 2020 end with some good surprises. Vaccines that work and are available to all. Clement weather. No natural disasters. No blizzards. No power failures.
  3. May all my housecleaning clients be happy, healthy and prosperous for years to come.
  4. May all my housecleaning clients recognize that, even if they are not having as many parties and guests, they are home so much more that they need my services at least as much as before. Maybe more!
  5. May the stock market stay at record levels. Maybe go even higher!
  6. May all the lonely people feel moved to adopt lonely pets from local shelters and give them forever homes.
  7. May the cost of energy stay reasonably low. High enough to keep the producers in business, of course. But prices at the pump make me happy now. My vehicles still use gasoline. My stove uses gas. Our electricity is generated, I think, by hydroelectric and gas generators. Affordable now.
  8. May all the deserving local merchants stay in business or reopen. Tasty restaurants. Stylish hair salons. Cleaners. Car washes. Breweries and liquor stores. Bakeries.
  9. May you add to this list and have your wishes come true!
