All We Want for Christmas is…

…gooey cinnamon buns for breakfast, a giant mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream on top and a roaring fire in the fireplace.

OK, and a few other things. We’ll get to those in a sec.

First: Merry Christmas, everyone, from all of the Dance Spirit editors!

It’s arguably the most festive day of the year, and if you’re a Christmas celebrator, we hope you’re in the midst of a very merry day. (Pajamas mandatory all day long. Deal? Deal.)

But you don’t have to celebrate Christmas in order to make a lengthy wish list, right? Here’s what the Dance Spirit editors are dying for this year…

“Sparkly wedge high-tops, like the ones Sophia Lucia is wearing on our January cover. As a fellow shorty, I understand her need for a little extra height—even when it’s a sneaker day.” —Rachel Zar, managing editor

“I want another live musical on TV! How about Singin’ in the Rain? Ryan Steele in the Gene Kelly role? Cloud Campos in Donald O’Connor’s part? Somebody get Rob Ashford on this, stat!” —Margaret Fuhrer, associate editor

“I want to go to a taping of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ during Season 11 so I can scream ‘judges’ in a Cat Deeley-esque British accent. That, and a pair of harem pants so I can feel like less of a bunhead in hip-hop class.” —Maggie McNamara, assistant editor

“In a perfect world, stores would play Nutcracker music all year long—and the rest of the world would love it as much as I would.” —Meggie Hermanson, fashion editor

As always, I’ve got quite the list of my own going: I want Lin-Manuel Miranda to bring something—anything—to Broadway ASAP. I want to go shopping with Simrin Player. I want to put an end to “Dance Moms” and in its place create a TV show about all the great things that happen in the competitive dance world. I want Juliet Doherty to take home the top prize at the Prix de Lausanne. I want Nick Lazzarini to be the next President of the United States. I want newlyweds tWitch and Allison Holker to have, like, millions of little dancer babies. And I want to grow just one more inch so I can be tall enough to audition for the Radio City Rockettes.

Get busy, Santa—you’ve got some serious work to do for us this year.

Happy holidays!
