Christmas Countdown: A Note to Father Christmas - Wishlists

[AstroWolfD]

Hope everyone had a very nice Christmas! With 2013 almost upon us, would anyone like to share anything they received this Christmas?

I had a wonderful Christmas inspite of the fact that we didn't have any snow until after Christmas.

Well, I received the dress I really wanted, slippers which I really need, a couple of knit shirts, a couple of sweaters, dark chocolate, makeup, lip balm, socks, a pink necklace, a pair of purple earrings, Third Day's self-titled album, and a few other small things. I'm very happy!

And with my Christmas money, I already got Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and I plan to buy Third Day's Miracle as well.

Wow, SnowAngel , sounds like you had a very nice Christmas! It's always nice to get things you really need - and a treat to get a few that you don't.

Despite my fervent unbelief, Santa Clause did in fact come. I'd gotten some tea, (a big winner in my book ) , two movies : Alfred Hitchock's To Catch a Thief, and the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice, both very good. I'd also gotten a nice fuzzy blanket, a little bit of cash, and last but certainly not least; the best Christmas shock I'd ever had ever: two tickets to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Best. Gift. Ever.

Movie tickets are a rarity, but to get some for Christmas, for a film I've been waiting for? Priceless.

An unexpected and rather whimsical gift came my way this past Christmas:

A Seattle rain globe.

My brother and his family have lived in the Seattle area for a long time, so we're familiar with both the "it rains in Seattle? Really?!" jokes and the practical observation that summers there often seem drier than those here in Minnesota.
