My Grown-Up Christmas List

I can remember sitting down with the Sears catalog as a kid and circling every toy, game and gadget I wanted to receive from Santa on Christmas.  I'll have it be known that I never got all that I asked for (how rude, Santa!), but still loved to dream.  (Winnie and I did get some bitchin' He-Man toys one year, though.)  Mitch did the same thing as a kid, although I'm sure he circled much more G.I. Joe stuff than I did.  

As adults, what Mitch and I want for Christmas is so much different.....
  • new socks and underwear
  • Menards and Home Depot gift cards
  • our bodies circa 1998 (hell, I'd even take 2004....)
  • for Gizmo to remain happy and healthy
  • a nail gun 
  • air compressor
  • tire pressure gauge
  • new windows
  • a USB drive
  • comfortable shoes
  • homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning (you got that, Mom Poke?)
  • good health for ourselves and our families
  • to spend quality time with those that we love
  • to continue to have jobs that provide us with all that we need
  • diapers and formula for Gizmo
Santa, I hope you come through this year!  (Especially with that 1998 body....)
