Well, I might not be the most religious person in the world, but I still look upon Christmas with a (deeply buried?) glee, a promise that smells of cinnamon, ginger, blackcurrant and rice porridge. And cartoons, old films and choirs on the TV. And snow, pine trees and a fire in the fireplace. I’m not sure this fits with reality any more.
My wish-list is neat and small:
- A woolen meatloaf cap. (I’ve wished this from my mom – she knits)
- A simple usb keyboard. (To replace my PS/AT(?) one)
- One or another nice t-shirt. And sis: I’m a XL – just FYI
- Two front (white or yellow) lights that can be mounted on my bike.

on DVD. We’ve lost our copy
There. That was it. I guess it will accrue with time, but this is the essential. I guess I’m old when I mainly wish for practical things. Well, I can be young at heart if I want to. I’m not all lost yet.
Are you so old that your wish-list is mostly practical things? Do you have one small, childlike wish? I’d like some Star Wars Lego. I don’t know what I’d do with it – build it and put it on a shelf. But there it is.
Read your wish-list for Christmas. Knowing you’ve been a good guy this year I’m sure Santa will grant you some of your wishes…

Btw, I don’t want ANY practical things for Chrismas… Christmases are for UNpractical things only. (Eh… that is if yarn doesn’t count as practical???)
Such as nice DVDs or small things to fit in very small boxes (diamond rings etc) just to mention something…
And nice children, of course. You’ve heard that one often enough… But then again – nice children are VERY practical, and therefore not on my list…
Right. You don’t want nice children… bad children won’t give you what you wish for. Look forward to practical gifts… like yarn.
