Sittin' on Santa's Lap

Is that an iPad in your pocket or are you happy to see me?

Every year, the day after Thanksgiving, my mom put on Bing Crosby's Merry Christmas and began whipping our family's house into a magical holiday wonderland covered from top to bottom in decorations. I grew up loving Christmas and everything about it… Especially the gifts!

Here are five things that I am wishing for this Christmas:

1. Apple iPad Heads up, Santa. With rumors pointing to second gen iPads in the first quarter, 2011, could you ask the elves to ramp up production?

2. STAG Shopping Spree I'll take those suspenders, that wallet, some shoes, and ooh ooh ooh, just give me a basket and let me go!

3. XBOX Kinect Got to demo this recently and was blown away. Games, video chat, menu navigation, and lots of couch potato power! This guy knows what's up.

4. Backyard Fencing & Landscaping We have such a cute backyard. It just needs some TLC and a nice big privacy fence to help keep in the fifth item on my wish list…

5. Bouvier Puppy The BF has done all the research and thensome. Now it's just time to find the right pup! Then once we get it home in our new fenced-in yard, we can teach it how to play ball like this Bouvier.
