xmas list

Posted at 6:43 pm by jasminedesirees, on November 27, 2013

I don’t really need anything for Christmas, I’m pretty much just so excited to see my family and be in Mazatlan again, but I decided to make a list anyway just in case someone was trying to shop for me and was at a complete and total loss for ideas.

I actually do kind of need a new purse, mine was $20, I’ve had it for 3 years, and it is basically being held together by super glue and hope at this point, but I can’t find anything I like nearly as much.

The bag on my list is gorgeous, but I would probably get it and keep it in my closet for a few more months until my current one finally gasps its last breath. We’ve been through a lot together, even casually glancing at other purses feels a little bit like cheating.

Last night we went out for supper in SF, then got Starbucks and went for a long walk before we went skating at the Embarcadero center.

SF at Christmas

Skating was really fun, although they had “hockey skates” and I use the term loosely. They had absolutely no edge, and I kept waiting to crash head long into the boards and take 4 or 5 unlucky souls with me. I managed to stay upright but I really missed my picks, and regretted my decision not to bring my skates to California with me.

Trying not to die

Here are few of my favourite things about this time of year:

skiing, skating, tobogganing, etc.

coming in out of the cold and warming your hands on a steaming mug of hot chocolate (see above)

it seems like people are nicer to each other, and go out of their way to help even complete strangers

finding the perfect gift for someone that you absolutely know they will love (extra points if it’s on sale)

all of the cookies (especially these), and other delicious treats

there is always an excuse for a party, cute new dress, or cocktail

holiday movies, especially Home Alone, and Love Actually

when you’re wrapping presents and you manage to cut all the way across the wrapping paper in one smooth line, without stopping and without ripping it. Success.
