You actually may be writing a Christmas Santa list expressing many readers' secret wishes. They may be stunned that you have actually said what the they subconsciously are thinking. Well done.

Thank you. I got a lot of supporting and unexpected reviews with this piece. I didn't think it would go over so well. Glad to see I was wrong.

Mia, is that who you are really? Racheal Roth?
Talk about a naughty letter to Santa! Someone isn't getting any presents. My goodness girl... what HAS been going on with you??? If this reflects the life you lead, you need a serious vacation. Do find a pretty place to sit and breathe for a while, take in the beauty of the world, away from the hustle and bustle of people. You'll feel better.
Susan :)

Thank you for the uplifting words. I am very blessed in my life and quite happy which makes it even more worrisome to some that I write such horrible things. To me it helps navigate the negative so I can put my best foot forward in the world.

If Santa could only fulfill this list the pay back would be too sweet!
Serve each of them right and maybe educate them on treating others better.
Better Christmas wishes seldom requested.

Thank you for taking the time to review.
Comment from Sherry SG
Potent. Pungent. Unapologetic. You give voice to our repressed dark side-- true horror!
I loved the dark twist on the Christmas theme.
I liked the contrast between "bound and gagged" and "my intent is not to be cruel".
But I felt that the words "empty plates" and "go hungry" were somewhat weak as compared to "bound and gagged" -- hence somewhat diluting the horror effect for me.
Good luck with the competition.

Okay that is good to know. I can see how those are seen as weaker. I wonder if I moved them before the "bound and gagged" if it would add more punch. Thanks for the idea.

You're welcome. Yes, that could work :)

Ha ha ha, you made me smile here and I think there are many who would identify with your words and wish that those we give us grief would get what was due! A tongue in cheek write and I enjoyed your humour here, albeit dark, love Dolly x

Well, I'm not sure Santa will give you this one. But, I sure this person can make part of it come true with a little work. This is a nice free verse. It is good to read something different from the norm.
Well done.

Thank you. I was worried about posting it in the Christmas contest but it is nice to know it was enjoyed.

I think you're better off asking God for these petitions, I've seen Father Christmas, I caught him delivering presents into my room at about 2.00 am Christmas morning when I was seven, Santa Claus is my dad, but I'm sorry, he died thirty years ago, well done, good luck, blessings Roy
