This member of the family wrote in their letter to Santa:
Dear Santa,
I’ve been thinking a lot about dining out this year, and there’s just one little thing I need to ask for. You see, every time I suggest going to one of my favorite restaurants, the kids always have something to say. They roll their eyes, sigh dramatically, and call it “basic.” But Santa, sometimes basic is exactly what I need. Those places are reliable, they’ve got the best comfort food, and I always know I’ll enjoy the meal.
Sure, I’m open to trying fancier spots, but let’s be honest—sometimes they’re just overrated—and not always worth the extra stress or the huge bill. So this year, what I’m really asking for is the freedom to eat wherever I want, without any judgment. Whether it's a laid-back favorite or a new adventure, I just want to enjoy my meal without a lecture from the backseat.

Dear Santa,
I’ve been thinking a lot about the good ol’ days—when action movies were packed with excitement, charisma, and, let’s be real, a bit of humor. Lately, the movies haven’t been hitting quite the same. It’s like there’s something missing, some larger-than-life presence that makes everything feel epic.
So, this year, Santa, I’m asking for something big. Could you bring back that extra something to the big screen? That undeniable energy, that powerful charisma, the kind that only a true legend can bring. You know who I am talking about Santa, none other than my bald brother, Dwayne the rock Johnson!

Dear Santa,
As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the things that truly bring joy to my daily routine. And there’s really just one thing that stands out above all the rest: the perfect voice of reason, intellect, and insight on my screen.
Santa, I’ve been watching a lot of news lately, and there’s one person whose perspective I just can’t get enough of. He’s calm, collected, and always has the best take on the big issues. But Santa, I need more! It feels like there’s never enough of him on air, and I’m hoping you can change that this year.
If you could make sure that this incredible, brilliant person gets the airtime he deserves—more interviews, more segments, more primetime, anything!—I’d be forever grateful. You and I know very well, Fareed is CNN's saving grace!
