Dear Santa,

I’m being overly optimistic that there is any chance whatsoever that I have managed to make it onto your “nice” list this year but I hear you are a very kind and forgiving soul that brings joy to so many.

I know you are magical but I doubt even you can arrange for Spurs to win the Premier League this season so I am setting my sights a bit lower! I requested an instant hangover remedy with a guaranteed success rate for my Birthday (15th year running) which clearly my mother didn’t love me enough to obtain so that still remains top of my Christmas list but if that is not possible I would happily settle for a working phone (not an expensive one as I have lost 2 and broke another in 2018) or a pet Tiger which preferably speaks perfect English and won’t try and eat me. (Basically I would like a Tigger toy designed for pre school children that bounces around)

From a less personal perspective seeing as sharing is caring, can you arrange for Starbucks to make Pumpkin Spiced Lattes available for an extended period from maybe September to the end of November at the very least.

Musically next year I am very excited to hear Maren Morris’s new album but hey isn’t everyone? So please make sure it’s even more amazing than we all already know it will be and her Royal Albert Hall show is the most incredible night imaginable! Also can you make sure we get some new music available from Delta Rae, Kassi Ashton, Fairground Saints, Dierks Bentley and Florida Georgia Line please? Then obviously arrange for them all to come and see us again this side of the pond in 2019 please because that would be beyond amazing and we miss them all already?

On that subject we would absolutely love for you to help Runaway June, Kalie Shorr, RaeLynn, Honey County and of course Natalie Stovall to be able to come and experience playing shows in London please because everyone over here would absolutely love seeing them!

Well that just about covers everything on my list apart from arranging for Haim to be conveniently playing a show in Los Angeles when I make my first trip to California next year and the sight of Dak Prescott lifting the Superbowl and bringing it back to Dallas (the Cowboys are not right now so this could happen anyway without any extra help from you)

Many Thanks

Jamie (aged 33 and 1 day)
