What's on your wishlist?

It's ironic, even though I was born on Christmas, I never really get into the whole gift thing surrounding Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love to give, but I guess what I don't like is the fakeness of having to give a gift because a certain date says we should. I would rather see something in the middle of the year that reminds me of someone and give it to them then. And as far as receiving gifts, I've always just preferred money rather than an object. I think it goes back to middle school when my mom went and bought me all these new clothes from the Limited Too, and I didn't like a single outfit she picked out. So it was back to the mall to exchange it for new things I could pick out myself. After that year, she said "From now on, I'm just giving you gift cards so you can get exactly what you want."

But with all that said, I do love the reason for the season, celebrating Jesus' birthday, and the history behind how the wisemen came from so far to place gifts at his manger simply because they adored him. And I do love how it leaves an example for us to stop the world around us to acknowledge those who are special in our lives through the giving of a gift.

Ok, so not to be all materialistic, but I thought it would be fun to ask everyone, what is on YOUR wishlist this Christmas?? Leave me a comment and let me know. Here's a few on mine!


1. Juicy Couture purse


2. Point and shoot camera


3. iPhone


4. Gucci sunglasses


5. A trip to Paris


6. Mercedes CLK 350


Also, just a reminder, I'm still gathering addresses for those that want me to send them a Christmas card. So if you'd like one, please email me at scarlett@scarlettlillian.com and introduce yourself! I can't believe how many have poured in already. It's fun to discover new friends here on the blog! Thanks everyone!!
