All I Want For Christmas Is…
Every year my mom asks me what I want for Christmas. And it seems like every year I have more and more trouble trying to answer the question.
Yes, it’s true, I do want socks and underwear for Christmas. Maybe that’s what happens when you hit your 30s and have a penchant for grabbing the things you want and need at the store throughout the year.
But as much as I love to give gifts, and I do, this is also the season for receiving… because other people want to give too.
So, I’m trying to come up with a Christmas list that goes beyond wool socks and Batman boxers.
⋆ Plaid Shirts… for a long time I didn’t wear any plaid at all. But times change. I’m all in now.
⋆ A belt and a new buckle… with Boots & Hearts turning into a yearly tradition and Rock ‘N’ Horse & Boots and Bourbon now open in Toronto, a buckle makes some sense.
⋆ Animated DC Universe Movies… Yes I know that I’m getting ready to turn 32 in a couple months, but I still love cartoons that are well written and drawn and directed. In my humble opinion, DC has been doing a good job with their animated flicks, so I’d take a few of those.
⋆ A Carey Price Sweater… in my life the only hockey sweaters I’ve ever owned have been from Port Hope High School. A Carey Price #31 would be the top of my list.
⋆ Dinner & Hockey at Kilgour’s… I know that most of my closest friends don’t watch much hockey – and the ones that do cheer loudly for the Maple Leafs. But I would love to sit with friends at Kilgour’s, surrounded by Habs fans (maybe in my new Carey Price sweater) to cheer for the bleu, blanc et rouge.
⋆ PS4… it’s been a long time since I had a video game system of any kind. And I’m sure that if I had one I would find time to play it. So I guess PS4 is a “yes please”.
⋆ A Secret Washer & Dryer… it would be awesome to have a secret washing machine and dryer in my building that I could use instead of needing to haul my laundry to the mat and throw loonies and quarters in the slots and wait and then carry everything back again.
⋆ iTunes credits… I’ve never been an iTunes buyer, but maybe it’s time that I was.
⋆ Socks & Underwear… I know I said that I was going to build a list that was more than this – but I really do want and need some new socks and underwear this Christmas.
Here’s hoping that you are looking forward to Christmas and the holidays as much as I am. Friends, family, food and a drink or two sound pretty great to me. And a few days away from the office and commute will be nice too.
Be awesome kids.
