Christmas List

Christmas Lists are a hot topic of conversation right now. Charlotte's is constantly changing depending on the latest commercials on Nick Jr. and Mason has had a few late additions to his. Almost daily, I'm able to keep up with the lists and pass requests along to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and, of course, Santa himself.

Today I was actually caught off guard when my dad asked me what was on my list. Christmas is 5 days away, and I couldn't answer. I know that I would like a fence for our yard so Goldie can run around, a new dining set for our kitchen, and perhaps a new TV for the living room. I would also love a really clean house, and a few hours to myself without kids, chores, or errands. I told Rob to take the kids to Target to buy me a new pair of rainboots. I'm guessing that none of this is at all helpful to my dad.

Here goes, a Christmas list latte - make a Christmas list for yourself. Take a few minutes out of your way too busy schedule of shopping, pageants, and sending cards to think of what you really want for Christmas. A little something just for you. I would like the book "Love the one your with" by Emily Giffin. Her books are fun and easy to read. Not that I need an excuse to go, but I would also be happy with gift certificates to Starbucks or Method - both places keep me going with daily lattes.

Hi Amy,
Seems like the gift you would want from dad is....babysitting time! Hopefully our gifts for you, rob, and mason have arrived.
I feel the same about my list. come up pretty blank other than massages and free time.

My Christmas list is something that I can't deliver -- contentment for my two incredible, wonderful daughters and their families that I love so very much! If I could put that in a package, it would definitely be under both of your trees.
