What I Really Want For Christmas

A pony?  No.  World peace.  Don't make me laugh.

What I want won't cost anyone anything, it will just take a little extra thought, maybe, a little extra concern, a little - dare I say it? - love.  I don't need fancy store-bought presents, or lots of tinsel and glitter.

What I want is for when my desk is a mess, I just want a co-worker to come in and say, "My bad.  Sorry I messed up your desk."  Or when I'm selfish or thoughtless, which is most of the time, I want the other person to say, "Please forgive me, I should be more appreciative of you just the way you are."  If I rear-end someone in traffic, I want him to leap out of his car and say, "This is entirely my fault!  I backed right into you!"

That's all I want.  Nothing expensive, nothing you can buy in a store, just for everyone else to take the blame for everything wrong with me.

Anyway, Merry Christmas, everyone.
