Not Your Average Baby Doll: Santa Baby!

Only 22 Days Until Christmas!

Today, I posted my annual Wishlist on the refrigerator door. As I child, my list contained unrealistic items that only Santa himself could bring me. But as I grow older, the money involved in this costly holiday has greatly affected my page-long list. Although it does contain the occasional far-fetched item, I felt guilt as I added my desired gifts bullet by bullet. Our current economy mixed with my growing awareness of my family's budget has made this Christmas more about money than about spreading holiday cheer and spending time with the ones I love. Instead, I worry about how much our power bill will skyrocket and the cost of a Christmas tree. Although these are all responsibilities to consider before blowing a wad to gear up for a single day, Christmas is a time that should bring out the child in all of us. Yes, a $200 tree may seem unnecessary, but the joy and aura it brings to your home during the month of December is irreplaceable and leads to memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. Christmas is not a time about buying material things to satisfy the wants of others; it's a time to give and bring out the happiness in all of us.

So here's my Christmas list for 2010. And even if Santa doesn't bring me a single one of these items, I'll be thankful for the memories made just by hanging lights and decorating a tree, and most of all, I'll enjoy every minute spent with the people I love...although I do love presents...haha
