Christmas is just two blocks away, can you believe it? And in a month's time we'll all make noise and celebrate my birthday! CHOS. haha, NEW YEAR, of course :). Though the weather doesn't seem to cooperate in helping the Christmas spirit to reach us (isn't just too hot still, like summer?), I still manage to put up my best attitude and welcome the season of celebrations. Aside from the fact that this is the season for merry making, parties, foodies and of course Jesus' birthday, this is my favorite because we also celebrate two birthdays in the family, my brother's and mine. So it's really something I look forward every year because its the time of giftssssssss!
If you ask me if I get a separate gift for Christmas and my birthday, the answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the gift they give me. Because you see, sometimes I don't get the element of surprise anymore. They would usually ask me what I want and that's what I get come the exchange of gifts. So if I asked for something a little pricey, that counts as a birthday present too. You get the idea?
Well I have to see it this year because so far, only my mom had asked me what I want for Christmas. My brothers are mum. So either they are not planning to give me any or they still hadn't have the time to shop yet, I maybe have to not expect. But then again, I am such a masochist that I torture myself by spending the whole day browsing for lustful pieces I would love to own. So whether you are generous enough to send me a gift or just browsing for ideas you could give your girl/friends, you might wanna read on and see what has got me smitten.

I have been ogling wedges since just the middle of this year. I have mentioned in my previous entry why I seldom wear heels but now I wanted to give it a second chance. Just this week I had the urge to buy one again, but I can't seem to find THAT one for me. Is it just me or you too have problems taking a pick when you finally decided to splurge? I hate it.

I wanna start being mature and try putting on real lipsticks. Lol that's absurd. But yes, I like to have one. A red matte lipstick from MAC.

OH GOSH. I always wanted to have something like this of my own. It's kind of expensive so I understand that this will take time. Better if I can buy it on my own. SOMEDAY, I promise.

I like birdcages, this kind and not the usual we see at pet stores nowadays. I would love to have one like this in my room. Or maybe I can do it myself. I just find it utterly cute and dainty.

another OH GOSH. There's something about vintage vibe that I'm crazy about and this is no exception. Again, SOMEDAY. For now, I may dream and just have to settle for this

Bags with prints like this (don't be literal).

So my Polaroid camera wouldn't be lonely anymore.

Journals are my weakness. I can hoard hundreds of them!

I still don't have them and I'm dying to start reading! Add the fifth hardbound copy of A Dance with Dragons.
I'm not that hard to please, am I not? As much as I want to continue I have to stop now because the list goes on forever. These are just some of what I am currently lusting about and would really want to receive this Christmas, well I know the OH GOSH things are quite impossible though. I still included them because who knows, Santa maybe reading blogs too and decide to give me the best gift!hahaha, Dream on.
However, know that I am just being cute and shallow here but of course little things matter the most. The fact that it's Amber's first Christmas and my first with my family makes it just as twice the blessing. Gifts are just there to add to the fun but what really makes Christmas worth anticipating is the gift of having to celebrate it with your loved ones and be grateful of all the graces you received as the year slowly folds. Don't you just love how Christmas brings everyone together? So as you think of what present you may give to your family, remember that thoughts really are the ones that linger, not the tangible ones with price tags.
Happy shopping! :)
Bisou xx
