Christmas Wish List

When I was little, my sister and would flip through magazines and exclaim, "I want that!" whenever we saw something that caught our eye. After we had been doing this for a while, my exasperated mom told us that it wasn't nice to want but better to wish for things. I've carried that with me into adulthood. Want puts a certain amount of need in something while wishes leave room for daydreaming but this doesn't necessarily place any importance upon the wish. It's a good way to sort out things you desire from things you actually need.

So, after that little anecdote, I present my Christmas Wish List. It's funny how much thought I've put into it this year -most things I actually do need or will eventually.

1. Vinyl. (Hot Chip, Tanlines, and Youth Lagoon are at the top of the vinyl list)

2. Socks. More specifically, wool socks. I'm not kidding. I wear my Smartwool hiking socks all the time -they're great in the weather up here and so cozy.

3. Boots. Ankle, Engineer, Riding... really, just boots. I tend to wear them out pretty quickly.

4. iPhone.

5. iMac.

6. Pantone swatch book.

7. Leather messenger bag (big enough for my MacBook) or awesome backpack.

8. A ukulele. I started learning to play one at the end of the summer when I was staying with friends in Boulder. It would be fun to continue fiddling around.

9. Snow. What's Christmas without snow?

What's on your wish list?
