T-24 Days until Christmas!!!!

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Christmas is amazing for tons of reasons: Celebrating the Birth of The Savior, spending time with family, the joy of giving gifts, setting up decorations and eating eating eating until you feel 5 months pregnant. Its all just awesome! In my family growing up we always made Christmas lists sometime around October. That way whoever was getting our gifts for us had a general idea of what we wanted. No one had to get you something on your list, it was just a jumping off point. It is always fun when making a list to put on a few things that you know you would never get but it is nice to see them on paper anyway.(My mom still asks for a pony.) I made and posted my Christmas list on facebook a while ago but I wanted to put up my top three "probably won't get but still want them" things for Christmas.

1. Bernina 350PE Sewing Machine

GAHHHH!!!!! It is like looking at the sun because it is so beautiful. Not only does this machine have more stitch functions than I could ever use but it has the most beautiful automatic buttonhole foot I have ever seen. Too bad it costs around $3000. This machine will probably stay on my list for a few more years until the next best model comes out.

2. An Automatic Car

It doesn't have to be this exact car. I just want an automatic car that seats around 7 people. We will have to get one eventually when we have too many kids to fit in our Volkswagen Golf. I just hate that we have a stick shift. I know I need to learn to drive it but I just don't like it!!!! I would so much rather just get an automatic. At least I know we will get one eventually.

3. A Dream House!

So I am kind of obsessed with older houses with front porches. We probably won't buy a house for another 4-5 years but when we do I really really really really really want a front porch. We will probably buy a fixer-upper. (Remember the house in It's a Wonderful Life? That is what we are looking for.) Like the car I know that we will buy a house eventually but not this year and definitely not new.

So there you have it. Three things on my list that Santa will not be putting under my tree this year but I will continue to ask for every year until I either have them or I am dead. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! What do you guys want that you probably won't get but you still like to ask for?

Me with Santa when I was 5 or 6.
