All I Want For Christmas is...

… an extended vacation where I can do whatever I want and go wherever I go and choose the people who can reach me.

… a girl friday who will do all my Christmas shopping and errands, and maybe even attend on my behalf the parties I don’t wanna go to.

… a magic ball that will show me what 2013 will be like, so that I’ll know whether the things I’m investing my time and effort on now will eventually bear fruit.

… the wherewithal to say goodbye to things/situations that no longer work.

…  the right words to say to finally seal The Deal.

… a pleasant surprise in whatever form.

… a diet or workout routine I can stick to for the rest of my life.

…a miracle that will turn me into all the things I wanna be: athletic, fit, domesticated.

… a magic carpet that will enable me to avoid this horrible December traffic

… a really good massage that will put away all the stress of 2012

… a nice haircut that will make me look fresh and young

… real development in matters concerning A.

… indulging without feeling guilty

… the ability to duplicate myself so that I can be where I should be and where I want to be at the same time

… and the only material thing on my list, hence the only thing I can do something about: a purple ipod nano.

I know it would take a lot to get even just half of all these, but hey, it’s Christmas.  A girl can dream.
