All I want for Christmas
December 3, 2009emily No Comments »I never thought it would happen to me. When I was a kid, I’d come up with wishlists as long as my arm. The JcPenney’s catalog would arrive and I’d pore over it hungrily, writing down each and everything my little heart desired. And then I’d ask my parents what they wanted, and the answer was always the same: nothing. I figured that, since I was a kid without any money to speak of, they didn’t want to burden me with the knowledge of what their wishlists were like. And I assumed that one day, when I was old enough, I’d finally get to hear what they really wanted for Christmas or birthdays. I also assumed I’d never be like that– I’d always have a wishlist as long as my arm, right? And then, slowly, it happened. It started becoming harder and harder to come up with ideas. People had to start pestering me to come up with wishlists, even meager ones. This year, my transformation is complete. I can’t think of a single thing I want for my birthday or for Christmas. This presents somewhat of a problem, since my birthday is less than two weeks away, and Christmas is just around the corner from that. I’m sure I’ll come up with something, like… ….. world peace?
