All I Want for Christmas is.....

This is a picture of my favourite spot in my house - it's my chillout spot and I love relaxing here by reading books or listening to music.  However, recently this spot has been used primarily for daydreaming about Christmas.

For some reason, I am really excited about Christmas this year!  Perhaps, it's the arrival of Babygirl or it may be the fact that she celebrates her birthday over the Christmas season.  Whatever the reason, my thoughts are filled with Christmas shopping, decorating the house and what to cook!

As I browse the shops, I feel so excited when I see all the Christmas stuff on the shelf and I am constantly changing my mind about what to buy as gifts.  However, one thing has not changed and that's what I want to receive this Christmas.

On a purely superficial level, I want lots of vouchers and gift cards this Christmas.  This year I have rediscovered my love for shopping and receiving vouchers means that I get the joy of shopping without distressing my purse!  I have noticed that I spend my gift vouchers sooo carefully, and really enjoy the experience.  This year, I spent some vouchers I have carried around with me for over 5 years!  I was just waiting for the right thing to buy!  (Sad I know!!)

On a deeper level, my wishes this Christmas are:

• to watch Babygirl enjoy her first Christmas with us
• to establish some family traditions for our new family - like decorating the tree together whilst listening to corny Christmas songs
• to spend quality time with my loved ones
• to take time to pause and celebrate that Christ came to Earth to save us

So there's my list - what do you want for Christmas?  What are you looking forward to most over the Christmas season?
