It's a week into December, so I figured it would be alright to talk about Christmas. Every year, I try to send out cookies and cards to my friends who say they want them. So if you want a Christmas card from me, just send me an email or and FurAffinity note with your address so I can get them sent out by this weekend. Let me know if you want me to send cookies a well. I love sending things through the mail; maybe because my father has worked in the Postal Service for the last 15 or so years, or maybe because there is still a happy thrill (a Christmas thrill!) of getting a package in the mail. And I want to share that sort of excitement with my friend and family.

So what's on my Christmas list this year? Well, it has a mix of utility, education and entertainment - much like my lists every year.

* Kindle Touch. I love to read and actually own literature, but I have to cut down on the amount of books that I buy or purchase. If nothing else, an e-reader will help with the current issues of space I seem to be having. A good three quarters of the books in my parents house is mine.
* Here is my Amazon Wishlist - basically anything listed would be a good gift.
* A subscription to the Writers' Market or the Christian Writers' Market Guide reference
* I'd love to have the opportunity to own rats again.
* A new computer, or at least the parts to build my own new box.
* Skyrim (I'm a closet fan of the Elder Scrolls series, and this latest iteration looks and plays very well, from what I've seen.)
* The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

In the end though, I understand that my gift requests are somewhat expensive and therefore, probably not very likely. (I suppose that given the general price tag, they could seem rather selfish too.)

Tangible gifts are fun to get, and when given out of selfless motivation toward well-being and the highest good, they become a precious expression of love. But moreso, what I really want for Christmas is that same gift-motivation in making memories with those I love and care for the most. Sure, I currently stay with my parents, and I am grateful for their company, but it's not really companionship. The gifts I'd enjoy the most, are those that would stay for me for more than just a few years, the memories made with by doing things with friends, having a good time and enjoying each other's company. I guess what I want for Christmas the most are my friends.
