With less than five weeks till Christmas, Hubs and I have been talking about Christmas. I’ve pretty much decided that I’ll be shopping for myself (sans one gift that will be a surprise from hubs)
so for christmas this year? I’m looking at things that i may…justified as being needs. The following? Is my christmas list
1. Argyle Sweat from {the gap}; 2. Boot Cut Cords {the gap}; 3. Striped Sweater {old navy}; 4. Ruffled Sweater {old navy}; 5. Cady Knee High Boot {target}; 6. Argyle Tote {ll bean}.
There’s actually not that much that I legitimately want for the Holidays this year – I have everything I could want – my husband, a nice home, a crazy, cuddly puppy. We have a car to take us to visit our family and friends, we have our health, and hubs has a job. I would love the following less tangible items…
my brother to stay safe in Afghanistan over the next year
a teaching job
my mother and sister to be…legitimately happy. Especially my mum.
Feeling successful and happy.
Feeling in shape again.
There’s very little I want – sure clothes and books are nice, and it’s great having gifts under the tree but really? Isn’t it what’s around us that really matters? Family? Friends? Health? Happiness? That’s all I really care about this year. I’ve had an amazing year with many ups and downs but ultimately, everything that we go through – obstacles and all – make us stronger and bring us to where we are today. Today? I am MUCH happier than I was a year ago. We are in a much better place and…we’re married! What could be better than that?!?!
What are you wishing for this holiday season?

Dear Santa.
A pink Schwinn 2010 Debutante bike. Please? I’ve been a very very very good girl.

I have those boots from Target! They are really comfy and look adorable with the skinny jeans I picked up at your Gap party (at least, that is what Magda told me on Saturday!)
I love that ruffled cardigan. It may need to go onto my list, along with the argyle bag!
On my list? Martha Stweart’s Encyclopedia of Crafts, a corgi and a little sparkle sparkle for my left hand…

Ooooh I love everything you posted!
There’s not much I want really. When I see something I like, I usually buy it if it’s reasonably priced haha! There’s a necklace from Tiffany’s that I want for my b-day (2 days before Christmas) and Coach sneakers. That’s really it!
I love both of your lists.
There are very few things I want – just a few I need (for the kitchen, shower curtain, etc.). I would love to have a holiday with my husband’s family that I enjoy. I would love for them to have a good relationship with him, to be more involved with his life. Hmm. That may be too much to ask for!
love the argyle sweater and I own the cady boots and they are fantastic! Target is the only place that carries boots under a size 6 and for that I am very grateful.
For Christmas, I would love to have a full-time job doing what I went to college for. end of story.
i think that is a fabulous christmas list
and um want that white shirt and gray striped cardigan.
Cute clothes! I’m with you…there are a few things like books, music, and clothes that I want, but mostly I want to have some great memories of family and friends.
That white sweater is super cute.
I want:
(1) These pink boots
(2) To feel good about work again. I can’t remember the last time I was truly excited about my work. Four years into grad school and I’m just tired.
Oo, I have those boots and I love them. I actually saw that argyle tote in the catalog and thought of you
The cords, well, let’s just say I tried them on and they did not agree with my curvy body. (What happened to you Gap? That used to not be an issue.)
