Ho,ho,ho,ho

The risk that anyone runs on these dates is not being clear about the gift that you are going to ask Santa Claus.

When they asked me what I needed, back on December 14 — then they would ask me again, as a last chance, on December 23 — I answered that I didn´t need anything, that I couldn´t think of anything that I could wish for at that time, and that was my fatal error.

In this situation prior to December 25, it has become a repetition, something like a kind of deja vu in the last twenty years. Sometimes, to make it easier, I have suggested something to them and it was when the  pack of interior shirts was accompanied by a neckband shirt or a Tito Paris CD, but this time, the truth, as I said, I was missing nothing in particular.

This year, Santa Claus has been presented with a couple of interior shirts and with Breath: The new science of a lost art by James Nestor.

My friend, if I had come face to face with Santa in the middle of the night, ho, ho, ho, ho, I would have traded the book for a pair of boxer shorts.
