My Christmas List

Everyone else seems to be posting their Christmas lists, so I thought I would follow suit. This is a mishmash of what I would be more than overjoyed to see on Christmas morning. Of course, I can also appreciate non-consumerism and just enjoying the love and joy of family during the holidays. I am always torn at this time of year to spend or not to spend. I don't need any of the things above, but I would love to have them all. Just like the rest of my family, we are quite well off the way we are. This Christmas I can see consumerism having one benefit though. If we were all to buy American made goods it would give a little boost to our economy. So here's to buying local American made gifts this holiday! (Now I need to re-do my wish list.)

Ankle Boots

(source)

I find that I go through shoe obsessions. I'm sure this happens to most women. When it happens to me though, I find myself walking the streets with my face turned down just to find the current shoe that I am obsessing over. Then when I find it, a feeling of pride and excitement comes over me...unless of course the girl is wearing the shoe all wrong. And by 'all wrong' I mean my own meekly personal opinion of what does not look good. Like I said, it's an obsession phase. It happens with clothes too. So if you can't tell, my current obsession is the ankle boot. I think they are so cute and streamlined-looking on the foot. I just want to clap my hands and jump up and down when I see these shoes. I have yet to decide on which lucky ankle boots will go home with me...I'm thinking the teal one's above may be the winners.
