I was the best Secret Santa

Just for the record: this is the letter, reworked version of the Ten Commandments, I sent to my Secret Santa child. This is not a love declaration, although that girl is one who deserves all the love in the world. Most of you probably don't care, but I put quiete a lot of effort into it and didn't just want to lose it.

Enjoy: I Am the LORD thy God.

1.           Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Fail: you are a Goddess to your friends, so you are actually preventing them of only adoring the ‘real’ God.  You consider your friends and family as more important. But some people may see this as a good thing. At least I do!

      2.   Thou shalt not use the Lord's name in vain.

Fail: ‘Oh my god’, is a often used quote you use. As in ‘Oh my god’ that is so true!

      

      3.   Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Fail: you work when there’s work to do. Bad thing for God, good thing for your school and work results!

      4.   Honor thy mother and thy father.

Fail: you don’t only honor them, but your grandma as well. I am sure that, although she might not say it often, she loves you a lot and is very very prouf of het grandchild having this intercultural experience!

      5.   Thou shalt not kill.

Fail: you kill people with your adorable smile. Every time you smile the sun starts shining and when people see you walk by they cannot prevent themselves from taking over your smile.

      6.   Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Fail: with those passages at the twin party, the Barbie party and all other going out events -you dressed up nicely true- but you made other people have naughty thoughts. And for Secret Santa this is not a good thing to hear!

7.   Thou shalt not steal.

Fail: as said before, that smile, that perfect attitude of loving all your friends and family… you stole many people’s heart, or at least conquered a place for yourself in it. All the people who met you here in France, and in Germany as well for sure, love you exactly the way you are and are convinced that you will bring it far in your life! They just hope they can somehow, in some way, at some point, stay a part of it!

      8.   Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Fail: you always complain that you have a lot of work to do and that you’re tired. Although this might be true, in some way you always achieve to hang out with your friends. Your letter to me was very explicit over this, but you have to admit it; you make an excellent balance between work and friends, and I think that you are perfectly satisfied with this.

      9.   Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife/man

Fail: all the boys in the street look after you, you hot looking girl! So you make them love you. But maybe it’s not your fault, you simply are fantastic.

      10.               Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's property

Fail: If I remember well, as a child you wanted to live in a big castle, like a real princess. And just a couple of months ago, after wanting to live wherever ladybugs live. A couple of weeks later, you wanted to live in Barbie’s house. And I’m pretty sure that if you would see my house, you’d want to live in Secret Santa’s house!

So as a conclusion I think I can say that you failed at the big Ten Commandments test. But it’s ok Secret Santa still loves you and wants you to simply enjoy your Christmas time.

PS: Secret Santa Anja thinks Anja should be President, Bundeskanzler and of course housewife. As you will be awesome and succesfull at everything you will try in your life!
