This is the time of year when my kids are circling pictures in store ads letting us know what they want for Christmas. Of course, I remember the excitement of putting together a Christmas list when I was a kid. It was the time when you could really dream big — or, at least, what seemed big at the time.
It got me thinking about my own big dreams. And, believe me, I could create a whopper of a Christmas list if I really got dreaming. So, that’s why I thought it would be fun to take a crack at it today and make my own “grown-up” Christmas wish list.
Before I get too far, however, let me just say that this list is completely materialistic and, at times, completely over the top. Remember, this is just for fun because dreaming costs nothing!
Dear Santa,
I would love it if you would bring me the following:
1. The complete set of Spode Delamere dinnerware, service for 16. Yes, 16. I’d like the serving pieces, too please.
