I’m not a big Christmas person.

I think it’s over commercialized and a big waste of money. I’d rather buy my friends and loved ones gifts during the year, when I find something I know they’d love (and I do), than be forced to because of some holiday tradition. But. It’s not a huge problem. I like to shop, and I love when I find that perfect present for someone on my list. And, I LOVE making lists. I also like presents

So without any further hesitation I present to you, my kind-of realistic christmas list:
Dry shampoo
Philosophy’s “Grace” Roll on perfume (actually I should see if I like the scent, I just really want a solid/roll on/purse-safe perfume and I thought wearing something called “Grace” would be good for me)
More socks like the ones I wore Monday
A box of 96 Crayola Crayons. Heather had a pack in elementary school and I was always jealous.
A personal guru to teach me about personal finance things (like investing, budgeting, etc), or, you know, a book or two on the subject.
Love, Actually
Knocked Up
6 more hours in the day
a george foreman grill
a brita pitcher and filters
