Naughty or Nice?

Since I now live in the place where Santa is actually from, I have been thinking if I have been naughty or nice this year. Well, not that my opinion matters when they make up the list in the North Pole but at least I can present my case to the great bearded one and finally cajole him to give me a really cute puppy.


Therefore, the great debate is is this: Has Erica been naughty or nice this year? Since I am really an honest person, I can (with much humor) admit that I have been more naughty than nice. If I were to write my autobiography, I would definitely make an entire chapter of 2007. It is the year when I found myself, made peace with aspects of my life that I cannot change and looked forward to a life ahead. However, since those three were profound realizations, the depth of my wisdom came with much suffering, anguish and teeth-grinding nights. I complained. I was angry. I was sad. I pushed people away. I was dramatic. I was selfish. I was miserable. I was self-deprecating. I was not the person I should have been. I was different.


No matter how sympathetic Santa might be, if his categories of being naughty or nice has not changed throughout the years, then I will definitely in the naughty category.


So this year, I will have to settle with no puppy from Santa but at least I can say I grew wiser this year. 2007 made me naughty and wise. I think that still calls for celebration.


To Santa, please make sure you prepare the million euro transfer to my bank account for the end of 2008. You will definitely put me on the list next year. :)

    And about all these friend sites, you are not really missing out.. you get hooked on the features, and maybe not always focusing as much on using this platform to strengthen relationships with people you care about !
