My Wifey, I received your card today!!!! Which is odd since there is no post on Sunday's, but it is only because no one checked the mail box on Friday, so YAY!!! Thank you very much. It is now with my other cards. ♥ ♥ ♥

I hope everyone had a good or a relatively good Christmas. Mine was actually pretty good; I wasn't really expecting much (both out of the actual holiday/presents), but overall it was nice. Mum and I stayed home and did nothing and dad came over for Christmas Eve/Day. We basically ate, watched TV/movies, ate, slept and ate some more.

Now the oblig present moment:

You sometimes when you make up a Christmas list and you put down something that you're 99% sure you won't get, but thought you'd put down anyway? Or just set yourself up for relatively low expectations overall? That's kind of how I was feeling about some stuff on my list; most of the stuff I put on I knew I had a fair chance at getting, but a couple of items I was like 'that'll never happen, but whatever. *writes it down anyway*. Yeah, well that 1% did happen because my dad got me two things I didn't really think he would.

1st: the Kobo eReader. It's so cute and tiny and cute and book-like. :D It's more of a basic eReader with not a whole lot, but for what I want/need it for it'll do perfectly. I also know 100% that this will work within Canada. I got so confused looking at other eReaders on the market and hearing that they worked fine in Canada and then hearing they didn't and people had a lot of hassles with them. So there we are. I also got gift cards to the book store where I can buy books/ebooks and now I cannot make my mind up as to what I want now. *headdesk. The cool thing is with the Kobo is that they pre-load 100 classic novels (i.e. Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, War and Peace ect.) onto it when you buy it, so even if I cannot make my mind up as to what I want to buy I do have a lot of choices to choose from right now.

2nd: SEASON 1 OF SHERLOCK (BBC) ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Since the invention of boxed set tv seasons my dad has never once bought me one before even though they show up on my lists every year. I am very excited. :D

But I think the best present of all is the pair of slippers my mum bought me from Superstore (like WalMart). She got me these nice light grey slippers that can be worn both inside and outside, but she realized when she was wrapping them on Christmas Eve that she picked up one Large sized slipper and one Small sized slipper. XD So now I have a slipper for one foot.

Today I had to work the Boxing Day morning shift. I haven't worked a Boxing Day in about 4/5 years and I remember why I hate to. The second we opened our doors at 7AM it was lined up to and pretty much out the door from that point on. It was crazy. PEOPLE, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SLEEP IN ON BOXING DAY!!! I hate working retail on occasions like that. For those of you who may not be familiar, Boxing Day in Canada is like shopping on Black Friday in the US, tons of deals/sales go on and it's nuts. I had to get up at 5:30am this morning (I have not been up that early for any purpose in years) and I fully support that 5:30am should be illegal. I am going to bed soon and it's probably the earliest I've been to bed since I was, like, 10 years old. Can you tell I'm a night person? :P

Happy Winter Solstice or belated, wherever you may be.

boromirslover, I got your card yesterday! Thank you very much, it is now sitting beside the other two cards I have gotten this year. ^__^

Tomorrow is my last day of work before Christmas. Just. One. More. Day. And then I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Or at least until Boxing Day. I haven't worked a Boxing Day in years and I'm kinda scared. I have to be at work at 7am that day as well, which is criminal in my mind (anything before noon is criminal in my book).

I must say that I am a bit disappointed that I'm not more into the Christmas spirit; I'm not sure what it may be exactly, but I'm just not finding as easy as it sometimes is. It's the 21st already and I'm not really feeling anything. :( I hope that maybe it's just the stress of work and not having time to wind down to really catch my breath.

Ho-Ho-Ho

STEP ONE
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

STEP TWO
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it. Once a wish has been granted, it will be crossed off my list.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

MY LIST

1. Peace. I just want some stability in my life right now; both financially and mentally.
2. A donation to the Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association, this is the organization that I volunteer for and where I got Cleo this past May; OR a donation to your local animal shelter/SPCA. Any amount or if you prefer to donate food/toys that's fine as well, you don't have to say it's in my name or anything like that.
3. If you have the means and really want to, go adopt a pet in need of a new forever home. Make a pet happy for the holidays.
4. Anything and everything from my Amazon wish list.
5. To hunt down the SPN set and meet molest Jared and Jensen again. Also to be able to save for the 2011 Vancouver Con.
6. RDJ under my tree.
7. Bradley James under my tree.
8. Jensen Ackles under my tree.
9. Several plane tickets to different locations that I can visit certain people, because I just want to hold on to them so badly sometimes.
10. For my friends and family to be happy and healthy for another year and I guess this goes for my mum and I as well.

If you want my home address PM me or comment asking for it. Also if you have a list like this, comment and link me to it and maybe I'd be able to grant you one of the wishes. I have absolutely 0 spare cash to spend on anyone this year, so I can't send out Christmas cards again, but if you want to leave me your email address (or PM me) I'd be more than willing to send you an e-card.
