This time wasn\u2019t much better, since I was dressed in a Santa suit and had a kid reciting her list of wants in my ear.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the last time, I&#8217;d told her to go, but that was beside the point. She was here, now, in front of me &#8211; right where I&#8217;d always wanted her. Well, there are other places I want her, but in front of me is a good place to start. Now that she\u2019s here \u2013 I\u2019m going to do things differently. I don&#8217;t want to lose her again.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is getting her to see that we\u2019re perfect for each other. I\u2019m stuck playing Santa, so maybe I just need to get her to sit on my lap and tell me what she wants for Christmas.
