The holiday season is here...sort of. Plus wish list.

Ok. So part of this post is going to be a slight rant. We need to stop this habit of making the holiday season longer and longer. When I was growing up, although Black Friday was a big deal in my family, it was also the weekend I moved into Reston,Virginia.
The holiday season for me always began the first weekend of December. Friday night would be grocery shopping, with something easy to make that night. Saturday morning, we would get up, have breakfast together, brew a thermos of either spiced cider or hot chocolate and jump in the car and drive to a Christmas tree farm. After finding what we felt was the "perfect" tree, we would bring it home, cut about an inch off the trunk and keep it in a bucket of water to rehydrate it for the night. Sunday morning would be the first week of advent, so after coming back from church and having our traditional Sunday dinner, we would get out the Christmas decorations and decorate the house first. After bringing in the tree and getting it situated in the tree stand, we would then put on some Christmas music on the stereo and decorate the tree. That I knew was the start of my holiday season.
So my wish list for this year:
1. A decent paying job
2. A nice 2br apartment in the Albany, NY area
3. Being reunited with my boyfriend
4. A car ( doesn't matter what it is, just that it runs good!)
5. Something nice from Bad Dragon
6. A long visit from my lion
7. Someone to help me design a pendant, and some rings
8. Time with my family on dad's side
9. New cellphone with at least a few months of service pre-paid
10. A friend with benefits to help me learn to take better care of myself physically
