Today on the blog I have three out of the five lovely ladies on my sidebar this month. This month I have asked them the question: "What's on Your Christmas Wish List?"
What's on Your Christmas Wish List?
This year my Christmas wish list is different. When friends and family
asked me what I wanted, I couldn't think of any things. I could think of
a few items I need: a new backpack because mine is ripping, a new pair
of shoes because my pairs always covered in mud, and a few books to
study. Living in a third world country changes you. I am in the
Dominican Republic. Some people here don't own socks or more than 2
outfits and most people live under $1 a day. But I'm not writing this to
make you feel guilty for whats on your Christmas list; rather I'm
writing this so you are more aware. Aware that the world's Christmas is
much different than the American Christmas. Aware that Christmas is much
more than a list of things you recieve, but is celebrating Who we
recieved. I am so thankful that this Christmas I will be spending time
with family and friends in the States and celebrating the birth of Jesus
in anticipation for when He comes again.You can read more about my adventure in the Dominican Republic at my blog:

I have wanted, no no.. NEEDED, a kitchen aid mixer for YEARS. This year, for Black Friday,
the husband got me one! So that's been marked off the list! I couldn't
really ask for more than that, and my family being together for the
holidays.. BUT... just for kicks and giggles, and in case anybody else
asks, I DID make a small list (mostly from anthropologies kitchen area)
of little additional treats on my wishlist this Christmas. That list is (here) .. and then I may have gone and made one for my daughter, Fern, too. (here)

My husband and i aren't really good at gifting, so this year we've
planned a December trip to mainland Japan (we live in Okinawa, Japan)
where we will be exploring Tokyo | Kyoto | Osaka! Plus, there will be
lots of shopping! This trip was on the top of my Christmas Wishlist and
i'm soo excited we're getting to do it.
