My Christmas Wish List

Jolly St. Nick

It's Christmas Eve!  If you have read my blog, I appreciate it very much.  And if you have taken a moment to comment on my blog, I appreciate it even more!  =o)

Because Christmas is a time of giving, I thought about doing something to show my gratitude to you for reading and commenting on my blog.  Initially, I considered a giveaway, but I wasn't really sure that I had anything that was "give-away worthy."

I always say that I know my readers--all five of you!  And for those of you that are related to me, I already have your gift ready to go.  But in reviewing my blog comments, I realized that I've had a few more than five people comment so far this year.  

I wanted to get something for each of my readers for Christmas, so since a Nordstrom gift card for each of you is out, here's my Fantasy Christmas Gift/Wish List for each of you (aka what I would give you if my dad were Bill Gates!)  =o)

Amy, now that you have your college degree, I hope that you inspire all of your kids to each get their own degree.  And I'd hire someone to help you free up some time to come up with some more posts for all of us to read and enjoy!

 What do you give the best pre-school teacher in California?  I'd start with a crystal apple...

And then probably send over a plate of Tito's Burritos, since I owe you some anyway!

Andrea and The DeVito's, my Christmas wish for you is that you have more friends like Brooke.  Though I realize that that's a pretty tall order to fill.

Definitely not a dustbuster...I hear you're all stocked up on those!  ;)

Always handy!

Instead, you get your very own badge for your web site, you deserve it! 

UPDATE:  I actually had one more badge for your "collection."  This badge proves that there truly were no losers in this contest!

I hope Kaari's not jealous!  ;)

An iPad wireless keyboard...so you don't have to worry anymore about the iPad's $%#$! auto-correct feature, of course!

And assuming you ever figure out how to turn off the auto-correct (and won't need the keyboard), I'd "give-a-give-a-give-a-give-a-give-a Garmin" to you.

Since you're a stay at home mom who is rarely home, there's no reason not to equip your minivan (aka "garbage can on wheels") with the latest technology.  A GPS unit will change your life (for the better!)...

To have Costco build a new store near you on the Sunshine Coast of Oz.  Otherwise, I would have said something like this:

if only the shipping to Oz didn't cost thousands of dollars!!!

 The chance to meet a few more of your blogging friends in person in 2012.

That you love your new house as much as you loved the Grandma House.  :)

Don't worry, I think Lancer was taking the picture

Donnie W. with one members of the Osmond Clan

The opportunity to finally meet Donnie W. in person!  

 Yet another Raytheon League Basketball Championship!

 A year's worth of free airline passes to visit your kids and grandkids (but also fully transferable so that they can use them to come visit you)!

 The chance to enjoy your new house without having to travel for a bit.

You are so beautiful inside and out and every time I see you, you look more and more like your mom.  I love that you are more like a sister to me than a cousin!  My Christmas wish for you would be for you to be able to spend more time bonding with your cute sisters up there in Utah Valley.

A kitchen remodel and a Caribbean cruise with Dad!

A triumphant return to the Turkey Trot in 2012...this time with Lance running alongside with Jacob in the jog stroller.

That you get your new house decorated cute and that our family gets a chance to visit you guys for a change!

Your dream job with your new degree.  Ideally somewhere close to where we live so that we can see you more often!

Straight A's this semester and a fun NCAA tournament run for BYU's basketball team!  Plus that you like the stuff we "really" got you for Christmas this year!

Merry, Merry Christmas!!!
