My Christmas Wish List
I don’t need much for myself for Christmas. In fact, I am thrilled to no end with the simple paper ornaments my daughter makes for me at school. I look forward to the crafts made with glitter and pasta. I have all I need in my life and the Christmas gifts that warm my heart are things like a night of quiet in the house or a nice foot rub.
On the other hand, my daughter has a lengthy wish list for Santa. In fact, she has several – pasted up all over the house. She has gone through toy catalogs and sales flyers and cut out pictures of the things she wants.
There are toys on there, but there are also a lot of things that show me she is growing older. She wants a makeup case and nail sets and perfume. She wants gadgets to bead her hair and lots of jewelry and hair accessories. MEGA brands makes a lot of the girly things my daughter wants. They are mostly known around my house for their block sets and building kits. My daughter has a Cinderella’s Ballroom set and the mickey mouse magic Clubhouse, in fact. This year, though, her little fingers bookmarked the pages on the MEGA website for the B’Chic Manicure Salon and the Hannah Montana Make Your Own Fashion Accessories.
I actually really love the MEGA brands site. They have all those great Rose Art kits. I can always find a ton of stocking stuffers and gifts for Gigi’s school friends that I feel great about. Plus, they are affordable.
And so, this year my wish list to Santa is all about the things I want to be able to give to my daughter. Watching her open her gifts gives me all the joy I need. Well, that and a quiet evening alone afterwards. I like to look at Gigi and tell her that, like the song, “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
