What, pray tell is your wish for the holiday's? Well here is mine!

As a person who has lived in the fine community of Crestwood for over 35 year's, and one who believes in our town, I have decided to ask Santa for a few gifts for the city instead of me this year.

First of all Santa, could you bring us the wisdom to work with our newly elected Mayor, so we can move toward the fiscal responsibility, that has been lacking for so long in our community?

Second, I wish that you would bring us a beaker of "holiday spirit", so we can sprinkle a bit of it on our officials, (both elected,and appointed), thus stopping the petty political bickering so prevalent at our board meetings!


Third, Please dig down deep in your pack, and find us the wherewithal to properly fund our emergency services, park, public works, and staffers before the best and the brightest become discouraged, and leave us for another town.

Fourth, Santa please help our business community to have the best holiday season ever in crestwood! And may they know how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication to crestwood.

Fifth, Please bring the joy and hope of the holiday season to our city employees, and please let them know just how much all of us respect them, and how thankful we truly are to have such fine Ladies and Gentlemen working for us!

Last but not least Santa, Please look out for the less fortunate among us, and give us the wisdom to help them whenever possible.

Santa, I know that this is a very tall order, but maybe, just maybe, if you forget me this year, you will have room in you sleigh for the things we need in Crestwood!
