I love receiving my kids' Christmas lists. From detailed and organized from my oldest daughter, to illustrated and spanning over several pages from my youngest (several pages because she writes big and draws everything, not because she is greedy), the lists are always a little slice of my kids' personalities that make me smile.
For example, my oldest, my one and only, handsomest-young-man-you-ever-did-see son can never think of anything he wants to put on a list, so usually I don't get one from him. But the one year he did give me one, it read a little something like this:
a poster for my room
a cd
a dvd
anything else you might like to get me
He has always had such simple wants. He asks for nothing. Even when he should.
See? Handsomest young man you ever did see. =)
Anyways, as this year is one of those years where money is an issue and every purchase needs to be considered carefully,
I have a Christmas wish list which I do not expect to be filled. I would rather we spent that on gifts for the children, and creating memories as a family.
BUT, if I were to make a list.... it may or may not include the following items...
In no particular order:
 |
| ya, that's right a cast iron frying pan. I don't have one. |
 |
| Cuisinart hand blender - mine is dying. |
 |
| A belly dance costume. OOhhhh sparkly! |
 |
| I think I may have mentioned these before. =) |
 |
| any of Ina Garten's cook books - she rocks! |
 |
| A kitchen torch and creme brulee dishes |
 |
| Le Crueset Oval 6 quart french oven..... |
 |
| Greece. |
All I really want for Christmas is my family to be healthy, safe and content.
Amen.
