2014 holiday wishlist
per usual - no one is obligated to get me anything, of course. but if you decide to, that would be wonderful :) :)
1) fleecy slipper socks with non-skid soles, to fit my giant feet (i wear women's size 11 shoes). my feet get very cold during the winter, the ones i have are wearing out and the local stores don't seem to be selling them at all anymore, which is disappointing. any colors, i'm not picky. my feet just want something soft and warm.
2) if you'd like to donate to a good cause, please consider donating to the rescue. as usual, we're struggling due to lack of community support. it would make Dawn's day--and mine--if you did. and don't worry if it's a dollar or two. in reality, no amount is too small and the animals will be grateful to you.
3) gift certificates/cards to Amazon. (my wishlist is a disaster. plus i will likely need to order school books once i know what books i will be needing for next semester)
4) regardless of your belief system (or not), please don't assume that someone saying "Happy Holidays" is some sort of secret attack. y'all know i'm Christian. and nothing gets on my absolute last damned nerve more during the holiday season than the "war on Christmas" crap people spread around. there is NO "war" on any specific holiday. our Christmas celebrations/beliefs will not be taken away. "Happy Holidays" is an all-inclusive phrase that (IMHO) covers from Thanksgiving to New Year's. so be you a fellow Christian, pagan, Wiccan, Jewish, atheist, whatever--please receive the wish in the good spirit it is given to you and return it.
[tl, dr: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, it's all freakin' included, so STFU and enjoy it. /holiday soapbox]
5) write me a nice fanfic or draw me something. most of my fandoms/pairings, y'all are aware of ;) but ask if you want a full list. :)
6) paid LJ time would be totally awesome. i enjoy being ad-free and having my extra iconses, precious!
7) gift certificates to any of the following license shops (if interested in doing any of these, let me know and i will give you my license numbers as that is required for gift certificates):
Pics for Design.
Arthur Crowe's Factory
Jose Cano
The PSP Project
[FYI - these sites could be considered NSFW as some of the artists have provocative pieces]
8) fudge or cookie bars! ever since mom went Atkins crazy, she doesn't make sweets for Christmas anymore. boo! fudge - with or without nuts, doesn't matter, but with nuts would be preferred if you care. :) cookie bars - the best is the recipe on Eagle's Condensed Milk can label.
9) cocoa! i'm a cocoa fanatic during the winter (best time to enjoy it, of course!) kinds i have tried and really don't like - fruit flavorings, cinnamon/Mexican chocolate, most mint chocolate (too cloying).
10/pipe dream) the Avon perfume Persian Wood. It is from the 1960s, i think (i know, old!) i had a stoppered bottle of it but the cat broke and spilled most of it a few years back and i'd love to get some more if it's even acquirable.
11/the other pipe dream) a fully expense paid trip back to Europe (including Greece!) with zeugma. Minimum time of trip - one month. (one of these days, it will happen, damn it! LOL)
for gift certificates and such, please send to celticmoon47(AT)yahoo(DOT)com. please PM me for my snail addy if interested in any of the items requiring such or if you have any questions.
thanks and Merry Christmas....OR whatever you happen to celebrate!!
