My Top Ten Christmas Gifts

Have I told you just how much I love Christmas? What’s not to love? Fun in the snow, friends and family, a nice cup of cocoa or buttered rum, and some turkey, there’s nothing better. Did I forget something? Oh, yeahpresents! I love opening presents, that bit of a flutter in your stomach you get when you open that perfect gift, and the thrill that comes when you know you’ve done the same for a loved one. The hardest part is narrowing down what you want each Christmas, but here are my top ten Christmas gifts.

Another musical gift I’d like is a little, electric piano. It wouldn’t take up much room and I could tinkle away to my heart’s content. I’d also like the sheet music for the great jazz classics such as Herbie Hancock and Oscar Peterson. I suppose my top ten Christmas gifts should include something more practical, so I’d ask for a new pair of Winter boots. I hate Winter and the only thing that keeps my sanity is a pair of warm feet in snug, furry boots.

They have these really cool socks these days that have a battery in them so they keep your feet super warm, like an electric blanket. Anyone who spends time out in the cold would love warming socks. And some nice bath items, like bubble bath and aromatherapy oil so I can relax after a long day. Perhaps a nice movie to watch before bed too.

Mmmm, food. I love those baskets that you can get with all the goodies in them. It?s like ten presents in one! I like putting some of the stuff away so when the February doldrums sink in I can open up something yummy to take my mind off it. The ones with lots of sweets and chocolates in them are definitely the best.

While I may be easy to shop for, my kids are not. They always want some new thing they want and then they look at me like I’m an alien when I tell them I don’t know what it is. What the hell is an MP3 anyways? I know it has something to do with music, but what’s wrong with a good cassette tape? They’re always saying I’m behind the times, I suppose they are right. At least I’ve figured out the Internet so I can find these things that they want for Christmas. Hey look, you can buy undershirts on here too!
