What I want for Christmas

[summer_gphib]

I want a nintendo wii, new cookware (le creuset is what I want but I doubt I get it... ) , new towels and stuff for my new house. I'm getting new furniture (living room and dining room) I'd also like to have a new bedroom set, but I'm not buying that until the house is almost finished (in the spring).

I want my husband to stay safe...and while I wish he would be home for Christmas, I'll settle for February.

Nothing else really compares to that...

LPI, I know that feeling well... I was there just last year. I hope your wish comes true!

Since my hubby is home this Christmas, I want:

The Lucky Shopping Manual
A Lush gift card
a medium brown pocketbook
and new tourmaline ceramic hair appliances (dryer, flat iron, curling iron)

I own the Lucky Shopping Manual. If you get it from someone or buy it as a gift to yourself you'll enjoy it! It's quite helpful.

I have the china (Noritake Silverdale), sterling (Reed * Barton French Renaissance) and crystal (Marquis Waterford Claria) - all very simple except the sterling (which is combined from my great-grandmother, my grandmother and my mother, so I have place settings in sterling for 36).

All I want for Christmas is my children home safe and sound, my family gathered around me. If I have that, I am complete.

LPIDelta - hope you get your wish!

Do you all have Papyrus paper and card stores?? Yesterday I bought a beautiful card there with a crescent moon made of pearls! It reads "I'm over the moon for you"

ThetaPrincess, I love the Tribeca pattern! I'm sure it goes with everything and looks lovely.

I can't speak for everybody, als463, but with each piece of china or sterling I've inherited, there's been a story about how it spent "the war" in the well, or was purchased in celebration of a first child, or was given to an ancestor as a special momento. Most of my serving sterling doesn't match, but I rather use a 160-year-old ladle full of history than a new one that matches! And no one could ever talk me out of having the dent in my teapot "corrected". That would just be wrong, IMHO. So obviously, I wanted a pattern that complimented these pieces, not one that clashed. I also believe in Marilyn Vos Savant's comment that, when one hits 40, one uses the good china & sterling everyday - and the sterling looks SO much better when you do! But back to the topic at hand:

LPIDelta, I hope that there's a mixup in the traveling orders, and your husband gets home safely & soundly, and before Christmas. catiebug, I see no reason why your wish shouldn't be granted, either.

-a gift certificate for landscaping
-several books
-a studio portrait of my mother & I (we've never had one taken!)
-a spa weekend
-Family Treemaker 2008
-time, time, and more time. It's going to be a busy year, and I haven't even started to think about what I really want.

The boy just called, and asked how I feel about smallish Robins' Egg Blue boxes. I don't dare to think...

On my list this year:

*a new laptop (preferably one of the newer Dells)

*new linens/comforter set that I saw at Bed Bath & Beyond

*dresser I saw at Ethan Allen

That's really all I want. I'm a simple girl.

I haven't given it much thought.
