We have wishes; we have dreams. Some of these aspirations are more complex than a new bike, it’s true, but at least some are more achievable than a pony. Here’s my ever-hopeful letter to Santa for Christmas 2022.
Dear Santa: Could you ask restaurants and cafes to reduce the noise level? They’re so full of hard surfaces and background music, I can no longer hear what’s being said. Only the other day, I went to lunch with an old school friend who’s just become President of Tanzania. Or maybe he’s become a resident of Tasmania. I can’t be sure.
Dear Santa: Could you reduce the number of products sold in packaging that is impossible to break into? For example, when I buy a pair of scissors, I discover I need another pair of scissors to free the first pair from its plastic fortress. If you already had scissors, why would you be buying a second pair?
