[bodytext] => Santa's List Dusty frosted jingle bells lie over on the shelf as concentration lingers on the face of this old elf. A pipe straight in the corner of his slightly curled smile as this elf of Christmas Wonder studies the list awhile. He checks each name and chuckles as he remembers when he was a boy and played himself those same tricks now and then. There's Johnny from the south of France and Melanie from Spain Brenda is from Belgium and Tommy wants a train. But Suzie has a special wish that cannot be wrapped with gold her name is small on this long list but stands out big and bold. The list now seems much smaller with the tasks he must perform. Its Suzie's wish that captures him as he snuggles safe and warm. She wishes for the freedom of those who are oppressed and understands why Daddy is on a special quest. She sends a small "I'm sorry" for such a selfish wish but she wants her Daddy safe at home by the lake where they can fish. A tear slides down the cheek of this elf who knows the score; that her Daddy touched on heaven today, a fallen hero in this war.
