Dear Santa Claus
November 20, 2010
Well, it’s almost Thanksgiving so that means Christmas is right around the corner, and it’s time for children (and some adults) to make their wish lists. My children have made and submitted theirs, but my husband and I haven’t yet. There are a few things I’d love to have and since I’m just wishing, I thought I’d wish a little bigger than usual.
1. Quality Street – The really big tin! When my family lived overseas, Santa would bring us a great huge tin every year and it would take us a long time to eat them all up – at least until Epiphany I think. My favorites were the flat caramel discs, the chocolate mousse (green triangle), chocolate toffee finger, and if there was a coffee one it was probably that too. I haven’t had any of these in years so it would be lovely to find some and grace our Christmas table with them.
2. Mommy Makeup Pretty and Polished Kit – This looks so wonderful! I’m needing new makeup anyway and all of this comes in one big kit. It’s mineral makeup that also doubles as spf which my uber sensitive rosacea skin would love. It also comes with concealer which, at my age, I really should use. Years ago I pared down my makeup to the essentials and here they are all in one kit.
3. A Tom-Tom GPS System – So that I don’t have to settle for all the same haunts when I go places. I’d love to be able to find new restaurants, new bookstores, etc., but I really need a visual of how to get to those places. Besides, I believe you can get celebrity voices to give you directions – I wonder if one is George Clooney??
4. A stick blender – I have wanted one of these for a really long time. I would love to make homemade soups and smoothies for the health benefits. Blenders are too big and bulky and too much of a pain in the butt to use. Nothing major mind you – just something simple and easy to use.
Well, that’s my list this year – of course that’s in addition to the usual things I ask for: peace on earth and good will toward men.
