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.
Any type of musical instrument would be great too. I?ve always wanted to learn to play the violin. And I could also use a cushion for my piano stool, as it is a bit hard to sit on for any length of time. But who wants to buy a cushion? I could use a nice down jacket for winter as its pretty cold up here. Throw in some gloves too so I can make snowballs.
Being practical still, a few woolly sweaters wouldn't go amiss. I wouldn't mind an electric blanket too. I always like to receive books at Christmas. When the next Harry Potter book and DVD comes out, I definitely want them. A nice bottle of perfume under the tree would be most welcome. I don't mind what brand, as long as it's French! I know, I have expensive tastes.
Food is always a welcome gift and I like Belgian, chocolate truffles and English breakfast marmalade. Good wine is also a nice treat. That's about it for a top ten Christmas Gifts list, give or take a gift or two. I really don't mind what people get me as long as it's given with love and they've kept the receipt!
I?m not greedy you know. I like giving presents as much as I like getting them. The thing is though; I?d rather make something most times then buy something. I?m not cheap or anything, it just seems so much more personal, and most things don?t take too much time to do either. Scapbooks, picture frames and knitting scarfs are my top picks. But you can?t do that for everyone can you? Especially kids and teens, they set store on what new cool gadget they get every Christmas. Computer or video games are certainly popular, as well as the latest MP3s and IPODs. It?s hard to keep up sometimes. Usually in amongst the gadgetry I?ll throw in something old school, like art supplies or playdough just to see how it goes over.
