All I Want for Christmas...

Strangely enough, last night I had a dream in which some bad guys were chasing after me or putting evil spells on me and I lost on of my top front teeth.  Very weird dream, but it made me think of wanting teeth for Christmas...or other things.  This Christmas is going to be really different for me.  Normally every year my dad asks me consistently for what I want for Christmas and I have to come up with a list of things for him to sort through and get me.  This has not happened this year, and I attribute this to the fact that I'm in France, and he has no real way of calling me.  So there haven't been any conversations of the like.  Also, no questions from mom, brothers, friends...anything.  No biggie.  Maybe they aren't gonna get me anything.  No biggie.  I can still make my dream wish list of everything I might want for Christmas.  I can always get them for myself.

1. Going home for Christmas.  Obvious, right?  The number one thing I know I will get this year is spending the holiday with my friends and family.
2. A massage.  My back is all kinds of knotted up.  I could really use a day at the spa to relax this ragged ole back of mine.
3. Money.  Money is good for so many things, like paying rent, traveling abroad, buying gifts, etc.  Christmas and the next couple weeks rent are gonna make a significant dent in my bank account.  My American bank account is already reeling from the negative exchange rate.
4. iTunes gift cards.  That's right.  Music is my heroine.  I need it to get through the day to day, and although my spending habits have decreased whilst I've been in France, I still gotta get something new from time to time.
5. Boots.  The boots I brought with me broke shortly after arriving.  I now have nothing tall and warm enough to wear.  Also I need something to help me walk through the snow.  My little Louisiana body is just not used to all this snow and cold weather.
6. Winter coat.  Yeah, I brought my "winter" coat with me.  That coat is meant for Louisiana winters, not French ones.  I am layering and layering, but still, I gotta get a coat before I freeze to death.

Anything after that is lagniappe.  I seriously can't wait.  Less than two weeks till I'm home.  WAHOO!!!!
