Christmas Wish List

By on November 26th, 2009

christmas-listOkay… I am fully aware that I should be making a list of things that I am thankful for and may be I will do that on the morrow, who knows. But one my fondest childhood memories was me and my brother going through the Sears and Roebuck catalog drawing circles around the items that we were wanting for Christmas. Mostly, as kids we were of coursed focused on toys, but I can recall sometime in there that I thought having the model in a particular clothing department would have been a good present too… Anyway, partly as comic relieve and partly being as real as it gets here is my wish list for Santa for 2009 Christmas eve delivery….

  1. A redheaded female preference given to a sane redheaded female… I did not realize how much I was into redheads until a friend or two starting pointing that out, but Santa I would really like this. And hey, she needs to have a few common interests and such… and well I like dark (almost or completely black) or even a brunette too if you are already out of redheads.
  2. Longer hair… lets face it, it is just in that REALLY annoying in between place right now and it will not be bad once it gets just another inch and can be mostly caught in a pony tail, but right now it just looks and feels retarded.
  3. A new pony would be nice, but caveat as I am sure you know – when I say pony, I really mean horse and I am thinking warm blood or least something with some mega size. You know my preference for gaited horses and while the ideal would be a TWH type crossed on an American Cream Draft, I will be happy with a trotter as long as it has some size and maybe a bit of sanity. Yeah, I know, I got exactly the high-strung, white, crazy horse I asked for in Mad Jack a few years ago… and I do not recant.
  4. Okay, I have most of set of 14th century armor, but I have two pieces of maile that would be nice additions. But beyond that, I would like to start working on that 15th century set now too. Oh, and since you are magical jolly old elven type I am sure you can make my very authentic mild steel stuff not rust just like stainless, right?
  5. Amarillo by morning and an eight second ride… er, wait that is from another person’s list, but hey, maybe that would be cool with me too…
  6. A baby. Yeah, I said it. And no, I don’t mean one of those like the ones I passed in that stupid aisle I got tricked into walking down at the store this evening, I mean a real one. I have been told I can not get both that and a sane redhead at the same time. But I think they misunderstand, I want the baby complete and ready to go on Christmas morning, not nine months away from Christmas morning.
  7. A stocking stuffer for you… I got this song list I like that includes Whiskey Lullaby, I know Your Out There, Forever Young, Pacobell’s Cannon in D, The Dance, and a few others. I would really like to add Unforgiven by Metallica. Do not ask me to explain the way that list fits together, it just does for me. If you give me a minute or two I can probably think of a few more to add to that list, in case you are interested.
  8. Is it wrong to ask for keg? Oh, and I do not mean a keg of beer, but rather of bourbon. A good sipping type of bourbon – and maybe a HUGE amount of ice as there never seems to be enough wherever I am located. I promise it would not go to waste and that I would share, including with the angels.

While I think I could ask for more, to do so would be heading into greedy territory. So, I think I will leave it at this. By the way, I think if there were one or two of those up there that you got I would so happy I would forget about the other five or six. Just an idea for you to ponder, as I do understand the economically depressed situation we all find ourselves struggling with at current time.

    What you wrote brought back huge memories. Every year my brother and I would circle all the things we wanted for Christmas in the big catalogs our parents had. On occasion I still do it with catalogs like Design Toscano, Museum Replicas Limited, etc… My wish list would be a little like yours except I would be wishing for a knight. I would want longer hair too since I colored my hair red for years which damaged it, so I have been letting it grow out again. Horses I don’t need to wish for since I have 5, but for someone to help break them and train the young ones for skill at arms. Armor is a big YES! I have none:-( I have been even eyeing horse armor for my big warmblood. Amarillo I have been at broke down with my Dakota pickup many years ago, so don’t wish to go back. I have had plenty of 8 second rides being launched off of horses. I wouldn’t mind another kid. At times I feel my daughter should have a sibling. Music is something I would never say no to and instead of keg of bouborn I want some Mead. It is impossible to find it here unless I order it from a winery. My biggest wish is a winning lotto ticket or a great job to get out of this desert I am stuck in.

    I remember doing that as a kid too;)Now unfortunately I do it the opposite way for what I need to buy when shopping. interesting list.Maybe Santa will be nice and give you some of it.About the only one I could help you with is the music since I’m not a redhead.

    Good wish list. My equestrian wish would be for an English shire horse. I saw one at the Horse Park in October and loved it. The rider was attractive too — had hair about the same color as the horse.

    I like the blog. We share some interests: medieval history, green living, faith, etc.

    Wow, you brought back memories for me, too. I remember my sister and I sitting at the kitchen table going through that catalog and circling what we wanted. And in our younger years that was a LONG list of stuff. Sears doesn’t even make that same type of catalog anymore, do they? I know for years they didn’t and I was very disappointed in that fact. It’s definitely a shame if it is still gone for good as generations of childern won’t have that same gleeful joy that we had when going through it. Flipping through web pages just doesn’t have the same level of excitement I find.

    I’m a brunette who’s currently auburn. Does that count? ;-)
