So my parents are divorced, so I KINDA get two xmases. My mother can't afford much (she's paying off college loans for me AND her plus feeding my brother who eats for 10 people haha), so since she works at kohls she just gets us stuff from there and occasional cheap stuff from job lot. So, I kinda have to give her my list in January for the next xmas, because she shops the sales all year in order to get us stuff. As I'm 22, I really only ask for things I need (aka clothes, shoes, jewelry and perfume lol). My dad, on the other hand, likes to go overboard with the gifts, but this year I'm not asking for anything. Him and his gf basically outfitted my apt room for me (new curtains/hooks, a rug, a side table, a stool, a lap, candles, a pretty wall mirror, etc) and gave me $100 to ask a woman for a job (I'm shy sometimes lol) so that's good enough for me. Although knowing him, he'll ignore me anyway lol. I think my gift to my parents will be helping to pay off my college loans (as he has the bulk of them, my mum only has one)..plus helping my mum buy an art book she wants. She always asks for kitchen towels. For my dad, I have to ask him what he wants haha...
The one thing I REALLY want for xmas...is to see my ex-boyfriend. He's Irish, we broke up because of the distance, but we both really still care about each other (I was studying abroad there)..he's a great friend, and he might come visit in January if he can get the time off! I haven't seen him since last march, and I miss him terribly. So if Santa can align the world and give him time off and give me a not-super-busy work schedule, I'd be super pumped lol.
