Gary McCoy’s Wide Wide World of Christmas Wishes

As little kids all over are putting the final touches on their Christmas Wish Lists,
I thought I'd take the time to do the same. Course, at my age, not many of my wishes
are for real presents, but more for things I just "wish" could occur.

So here's my list, and if you're in good with Saint Nick, maybe you can put in a good word for me?

• I wish I could get the song "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" out of my head
• I wish we could all just get along and that the world would just realize that whatever I think is right.
• I wish Panchos was still open
• I wish all political positions were non-paid and only volunteers could apply
• I wish that a quick "pull my finger" could still make my kids laugh
• I wish that it wasn't so painfully obvious that I got the better end of the deal when my wife married me
• I wish it was perfectly legal that when someone was just riding in the left lane on I-20 and not passing, that we could put 'em in the wall
• I wish I could figure out how to turn off "auto correct" on my cell phone
• I wish Blue Bell would HURRY UP
• I wish deer hunting was a new sport in the Olympics
• I wish there was actually something on TV worth watching these days
• I wish we could rid the world of cancer and heart disease, or at least choose who gets it
• I wish the Swedish Bikini Team would buy the place next to mine and use it for a training facility
• And for sure, I wish EVERYONE would have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
