I wasn’t feeling very Christmasy until today.

I guess sometimes it takes a cute little silver tree with hot pink sparkly ornaments and a purple glass owl to help get you in the holiday spirit.

Happy Holidays!

(For the record, it also helps if you buy yourself season one of Friday Night Lights because it was on super sale and your sister wraps it and puts it under your tree for you to open. Everyone should get Tim Riggins for Christmas!)

(Okay not everyone, just me.  I don’t think I can share him. Sorry.)

(ALSO, TAMALES!)

Just in case you were wondering (which I’m sure you were) what a gal like me might want for Christmas, I thought I’d give you a few (not so subtle) hints.

First up is this fantastic KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Sexy, isn’t it? I’m pretty sure that boysenberry color was made just for me. Just imagine all the super yum things I could make with this. Okay, stop drooling. Ew. But really, delicious things and instead of cookies next year, I’ll leave you a cake. And cookies. And cheesecake. AND EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER MAKE WITH THIS.

I would also love a bunch of super bulky, fantastically bold yarn, so I can continue to make pretty things. Oh and maybe a set of Clover knitting needles (circular and/or straight) so I can stop going to the craft store every other day because I need new stuff to start projects. No, I’ve not suddenly turned 80 years old. Knitting is the new black, haven’t you heard?

(And it’s good for surgical dexterity according to Meredith Grey, but she was celibate and a surgeon and also fictional and I’m none of those things, so I guess that’s a pointless but very important tidbit and this is a ridiculous run on sentence, but you Grey’s fans totally feel me on that.)

One of my favorite things in the world is my Matt & Nat bag. I would love a smaller cross body bag so I can switch it up every now and then. This one is pretty much perfect.

I’ve been super crushing on Hunter boots since basically forever. I need some in my life, preferably in this violet gloss. Or maybe even red gloss. There are many puddles that need to be jumped in and I need to be completely prepared.

The next one I don’t really have a picture for, but I would really like a new job. I really dig the whole freelance and work from home thing, but I could really use something with more stability.

But really, I would just like you to bring me a bad ass 2011. This past year could have been a lot better, so I think we need to step it up a bit with the general bad assness of it all.

Sound good?

Cool.

Talk to you soon, Santa.

Love,

Jamie

P.S. I also wouldn’t be mad if you decided to give me Zac Efron for Christmas.
