so i was told to put together a christmas wish list. apparently, this is a keller tradition. you put down the stuff you want to get on a list, and hopefully on christmas day you see some of the things you've put down.
okay... i know this isn't a big deal to most people, but i haven't put together a christmas list since i was like... i don't know... 5?
so what do you put on a christmas list at 25?
dear santa, please bring me a pony. with a flowy pink tail...
the thing is, the things i WANT are totally extravagant things that just need to wait until i get my hands on a big wad of dough.
like... an ipod. or a multi-task printer. a strand of pearls. health insurance. a romona keveza wedding dress. a lakeside villa. a big fat retirement plan at 35.
so how do i seem like i'm not a greedy bastard, yet fulfill a wish list?
so far i have a ceramic kitchen slicer (it's like a mandolin, but simpler), a couple of cd's, some makeup, socks, and a day planner from target (i love them. it's the budget-conscious target version of a franklin covey).
meanwhile, paul has on his list a new turntable, a $80 dvd set, playstation games, etc.
but he's their son. he can ask for expensive things. i have that whole daughter-in-law guilt thing in my way.
ugh... christmas is stressful. it's such a non-event in my family, so all of sudden having to care is difficult. my parents usually cut me a check for christmas to pay for bills in january. i like that arrangement. "bail me out of my financial troubles for a month for christmas, mom and dad."
all i want for christmas, really, is a job.
i don't think i can put that on my christmas list.
