I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Christmas is almost here. I realize that it’s probably the last thing on everyone’s minds, what with all the holiday music, parties, shopping, etc.
Sarcasm…obviously.
Honestly, it’s so overdone that I’m having an adverse reaction to the “cheeriness” that December is bringing. I just can’t seem to drum up any holiday spirit!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally pumped about the two weeks I’ll have off of work. I also cannot wait to see my extended family in Houston. And I don’t mind admitting that I’m a huge fan of Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is you”.
I guess my point is that…well I don’t really have a point….I’m just sort of bad at Christmas. I thought about putting lights on my pretty little house, but I couldn’t imagine myself up on ladder swaying precariously while trying to string lights on my roof. With my luck, I’d probably fall. And my wonderful mother gave me a beautiful turtle dove ornament the other day. I took it out today, and instantly dropped it on the floor where it shattered. Also, I’m a terrible gift giver. I never know what to get anyone.
So…I decided to indulge my selfish side and put together a Christmas list. Here’s what I came up with in hopes of generating some excitement about Christmas:
Christmas Wish List 2009
1. Hair Straightener
2. Free standing hammock
3. Chiminea (sp?)
4. North Face Fleece

20. ACL tickets

And Finally….
25. 2010 to be the best year yet. Bethany, mark my words.
So I know this list is just a tiny bit extensive, but a girl can dream right? I also realize that two of these items make me look like a silly frat boy, while one of them makes me look like a crazy cat lady. The rest just make me look like a dreamer.
Santa, can you make this happen?
Here’s my present to you…lets get together and go out of Christmas martinis! I’ll buy the first round. Cheers!
P.s. Lovin’ the blog!
