It’s Christmas Eve and I completely forgot to write my letter to Santa! Oops! Fortunately, Santa doesn’t leave until tonight, so bear with me while I compose my list.

Dear Santa,

Thank you for another fabulous year in the Centennial State. There is truly no better place to be than here! I hope I’m not too late in sending this wish list, but here are 14 things I would love for you to bring to Colorado this Christmas:

1. A decent year for the Rockies

It's been a rough couple of years for our beloved Colorado Rockies... Can we please catch a break (or a ball) and win a game or two this season?!
2. Superbowl win

Holy cow, this has been a crazy year for the Broncos! Between the wins, numerous player injuries, and that incredibly painful loss to the Raiders, we could really use a (BIG) win... like the Superbowl.
3. In-N-Out Burger

How has this not happened yet?
4. More local breweries...

...because 200-some just isn't enough!
5. ...Beau Jo's...

Colorado style pizza trumps ALL.
6. ...and Trader Joe's locations.

I shouldn't have to drive into Denver to get my Cookie Butter and Three Buck Chuck fix!
7. A law against cats

They're always so grumpy and scary...
