Dear Santa,
You were a real sweetheart to me this year. I’m enjoying all my new things.
Thanks to you, I will be washing my face with this:
Thanks to you I will be warming my toes with these:
Thanks to you, I will be feeding the family with this (fingers crossed people – mommy needs a miracle!):
AND, THANKS TO YOU, I WILL BE HAPPILY READING WITH THIS!!
Yes finally, I can shut it about the Kindle already!! WOOT WOOT.
Also, I would like to thank Santa for letting me know that there is in fact such a thing as being in LIST LIMBO.
Yes, evidently I have been straddling both sides of the Naughty/Nice list for YEARS. (Don’t lie, you know you have too!)
Santa also wants me to know that if I would just pick a side already, he will give me this for Christmas next year:
Um. Yes. Please.
THANKS SANTA!

YAY you got your kindle!
LOVE the slippers! They look so comfy.
They are! They’re from the GAP!!
Wonderful gifts, especially the slippers and slow cooker. I want to try a kindle too, maybe next year. Enjoy your gifts
Is that Colin Firth 20 years ago? How are you going to swing THAT next year? (If you figure it out, lemme know).
That pic isn’t 20 years ago! The man is hot – end of discussion. The fact that he has an accent and can act is only an added bonus. And no, I will not be sharing.
Oh at first I thought that was a picture of RPatz and I was like, YAY MARIA! Haha…
Great gifts, Maria! One question, though – what is that futuristic ‘kitchen’ appliance? Never seen anything like it before!
And also, eww Colin Firth.
But not as bad as gross Colin dirtbag – what’s his name? The other one. You know.
It looks like you had a great Christmas! Have a happy new year!
I’m not even sure I can express how happy I am that you got that doggone Kindle! Santa Rocks! : )
You’re probably that happy because you don’t have to listen to me whine about it any longer!
Your santa rocks. He left me a card with a note that was it. you will love the crockpot
Ooh very nice things! I love Philosophy.
ooo I want those slippers!
I just watchend Nanny McPhee w/Colin last month-really liked it.
Exactly what does that contraption w/the food on it supposed to do?
So happy that you got everything you wanted! Happy New Year!
I am a new follower of your blog and am really enjoying your posts.
I too am a lover of Philosophy products. My favorite is Baby Grace but it always sells out as soon as it arrives at my local store. I suppose I could buy it online and pay the shipping for it but I like to think of it as my being meant to have it if it is on the shelf when I visit Sephora.
I too have been on the fence between naughty and nice… I kinda like it like that. I used my lumps of coal to do sidewalk art with the kids.
You were definitely a good girl!! I’m very interested in that Kindle. I’m going to look into them. I LOVE your boots. Are they cozy? They look niiiice!!
They are cozy – but they’re slippers!!!
Oh a Kindle – I’m so jealous!! Do you love it?
I’m with Sarahcasm – I’d take Colin Firth 20 years ago, too!
Get a big water bottle and carry it around. Little by little you will find yourself drinking it more and more. It takes a couple of weeks to make it a habit but it is doable. Good luck with your revolution.
