All I Want for Christmas Is…

It’s time to make a list, I guess. Husband is expecting one and Little Man is way ahead of the game. I think he keeps a perpetual list just in case anyone is willing to buy him something. He doesn’t want to be unprepared! But, this post isn’t about that. More about that later.
I’m a fairly simple person to buy for, really. My wants (yes, I sometimes inaccurately categorize them as needs) are typically fairly consistent and predictable. Having said that, living with Husband has taught me that creating specific gift lists is a good idea!
So, without further ado, here is my list for this Christmas. (There will be a disclaimer later, you can bet on it!)
- A Hairband
Not just any hairband, mind you. I want one that fits like a pair of sunglasses. I love the way a good pair of sunglasses holds back hair without flattening it. They also tend to save you from an aching head at the end of the day! Right now, I’m forced to wear my sunglasses at night (and at all other times of the day) because they are truely the most perfect hairband. If I was a more paranoid person, I’d be worried about people talking. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they are … I’m just not worrying about it! - Automatically Flushing Toilets
I am currently sharing bathrooms with an almost 5 year old who has (hopefully temporarily) decided he’s got better things to do than flush (unless he’s reminded, of course). I think that the folks at the airport have something on this one. Oh, and I’d like someone to invent an automatic cleaning system for these too, please!
Pretty simple really. Nothing too dramatic or exotic. Practical and pragmatic … that’s me!
OK … I may or may not decide that I’ve oversimplified a bit and it’s possible that my list will get longer (and frankly, not include either one of these items). I’m not fickle, just a bit on the immediate gratification side this time of year! I mean, it’s not Thanksgiving yet for goodness sake! It’s too early to make a definitive list. It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, right?
