A Letter to the Prep and Landing Supervisor

Dear Prep and Landing Supervisor:

Upon watching the latest Santa documentary entitled Prep and Landing I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on a job well done. That being said I have a few requests this year that I think should be addressed by you.

Number 1: Since this is the first year EVER, in 13 years, that the Kid has been able to hang a stocking over a fireplace please make sure to fill it extra full. Kay? Okay.

Number 2: The tree is losing it's needles. If there must be reconnaissance in the living room do so gently. We'd like to not wake up to a bald tree.

Number 3: I don't bake and if you could find milk in my fridge I wouldn't advise drinking it. Instead Santa's welcome to some of the leftover chili and a Killian's, I'll leave a note on the container in the fridge so he knows which one it is.

Number 4: Creatures Stirring. Yeah, well, we have a dog but he can be bribed with a jar of peanut butter. So come prepared.

Number 5: The previous owners installed a satellite dish on the roof. You may want to take that into consideration before attempting to land anything larger than a jingle bell. I've seen the size of those reindeer and dainty isn't a word I'd use to describe them. I'm just sayin'.

Number 6: The Kid is notorious for not wanting anything for Christmas. Personally I think this is a game of 'Can You Read My Mind', but you're the experts, so if that present gizmo comes up with a rocket launcher as a possible suggestion please disregard. I'm sure you'll come up with something appropriate.

Thanks in advance. Have a Jingly Christmas.

The Kid's Mom

Love this! The Dog can be bribed with peanut butter...classic!
Now I've got to add Prep and Landing to my must watch list.

ethelmae: Hoop thinks peanut butter is God's gift to the canine species. All you have to do is say the words and he comes running, nevermind opening the jar.

Something about the title of your post made me think of the "Shopaholic" book series... good times, good times...

And you totally distracted me with the link to Hulu... like I needed another excuse to avoid work!
