Dear Santa,
Are you there, Santa? It's me, Toby.
I've been a very good boy this year and I've tried very hard to do as many things right as I can do. I've made some mistakes along the way and I've not been perfect, but I've tried very hard, haven't caught COVID, have saved some money and paid some bills, and have been working really hard to put my kid, Kyla, through college. Here's what I would love if you would bring me for Christmas this year as you make the flight with enhanced reindeer...
1) A gift card for WINES TIL SOLD OUT, Total Wine and More, Specs, the MD LIQUOR STO in MOCO and such.
2) A gift card for Cooper's Hawk Winery and some gift cards for the movies - iPic and AMC come to mind.
3) A gift card for Uber Eats or Grubhub.
4) A gift card for GRAMOPHONE so I can get some tech for my new living room. (Sponsored)
5) Some COVID RAPID AT HOME TESTS and MASKS.
6) Some cleaning products from Dr. Brite.
7) Some ON outdoor hiking and or all-day wear shoes.
8) Some beard and bald head maintenance stuff from BestBuy or wherever you can find it cheap.
9) Some SpaceX and or ELON MUSK swag. Love 'em.
10) A Rivian Truck or a TESLA Cybertruck. Or the Electric Hummer. I just can't buy this right now while I'm looking for a house.
11) Some Southwest Gift Cards.
12) A trip to London for holiday.
13) A trip to Iceland for holiday.
14) A trip to Jamaica... again.
15) Buc-ee's Gift Cards.
16) Whataburger Gift Cards.
17) Lottery Tickets.
18) Tiny Haven, Getaway House, VRBO and AirBNB gift cards.
19) A holiday weekend at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pennsylvania, preferably in the summer so I can rock out that amazing pool.
20) A holiday at Nemacolin in the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands (or a gift card).
21) A trip to Vail. Or Wyoming. To see amazing things.
22) A Disneyland Magic Key and a Walt Disney World Annual PASS (or, a WDC Vacation Club membership).
23) A new MacBook Pro (DM me for the specs).
24) Titos. Deep Eddy. In assorted sizes.
25) Alka-Seltzer Heartburn tablets.
26) Dayquil + Menthol tablets.
27) Tommy Bahama Gift Card for clothes.
28) DXL Gift Cards.
29) A Gym Membership to Planet Fitness or someplace like that (with Personal Training) like from Arya Farzin or whatnot.
30) A House which is perfect and a seamless mortgage process like the one I have with Rocket Morgage (sponsored post) but I'd really rather you have one fall out of the sky for me.
31) Health and wellness for the next year.
32) Peace and love for my friends across the country who aren't with me this holiday, including, but not limited to, Kyla and her family, my own family and brothers and their children, Brooke, Jerry, Chris, Darrin and his wife, Tommy and his family, The Kapugi's, Adkins, Hardins and such; the great Jana-Banana of Orlando, and others which may not be named here now but could be named later, including the great Kent Terry, Jeff McCartney and others you will see in a holiday edition of the LIST coming soon to this site.
33) Toilet Paper with ALOE and Cleaning Ripples.
34) Any items to be added to this list in the next 24 hours... including Marriott and Hilton Gift Cards, Broadway tickets and AMTRAK GIFT CARDS (this has inspired a future post).
Well, Santa, I have to go because my Mac's battery is dying. But thank you in advance for your consideration.
Love, Toby.
PS, please enjoy the complimentary cookies, a slice of Specs Crown Royal Pecan Pie, a glass of wine or spiked eggnog from Total Wine and More and some BUC-EE's Chipotle Pimento Cheese spread and crackers and have a safe flight.
