Greetings, Santa! You haven’t heard from me for nearly one
whole year; how’s 2015 been for you? I’ve always wondered … how do you spend
your whole year, after you’ve done your epic present delivery route? Anyways,
I’ve come up with a nice long list of things I’m hoping you’ll bring me for
Christmas this year! Honestly, I’ve tried my hardest to be well-behaved … XD
(1)
BOOKS! Yes, this was the first item on my Xmas wishlist
for last year; it’s probably the first item on all my birthday and Xmas
wishlists every year! I subscribe to several e-newsletters from bookstores, and
every time I receive a new edition, my wishlist grows by several items! My
favourite genres are fantasy, science fiction and historical fiction, but I’m
willing to give anything a try other than Mills and Boon. XD If you’re
considering getting me a fantasy book for Christmas, may I suggest Clariel by
Garth Nix? I read his Sabriel and Lirael novels when I was younger, and really
loved them! Actually, I also really enjoy memoirs and autobiographies; if
anyone’s considering getting me one of those books for Christmas, how about
getting me the memoir of Luke Batty’s mother?? You know, the mother of that
poor boy who got murdered by his father during after-school sports practice …
(2)
DVD – I’d like the season
one DVD set of Chicago Fire, please! America’s
already watching season three/four, but Brisbane
only started season two in September! After stupid network Ten took House, M.D.
off without airing all the episodes, I had nothing to watch for awhile, until I
came across Chicago Fire! Oh, and if you’re doing your Christmas shopping at
Big W, please head over to the entertainment section and buy me the Minion
Madness DVD! Apparently, everyone who knows
me also knows of my complete obsession with those awesome creatures~
(3)
Movies: For book club last year, we did Divergent, a
fantasy novel that I really liked! An awesome book club lady gifted me the
whole trilogy for Christmas last year, and I was really happy to find out that
the second book, Insurgent, had become a movie; it was just unfortunate,
though, that I couldn’t find anyone to watch it with me! >< I’m presuming
the first book must’ve also been made into a movie, so someone please get me
that too, okay? Another movie I’m interested about is ‘The Fault In Our Stars’;
I vaguely recall reading this book sometime during book club this year, and
would like to watch this movie also!
(4)
Pet – Luke Maccourt, you already ruined my Christmas
last year by not giving me the minion-themed pet rock you promised to bring me!
In your defence, your dad has said that you have at least painted a rock
yellow, so may I hope that I will finally receive my pet rock this Christmas??
I do worry, though, because not only do you live very far away (I’m Southside;
aren’t you somewhere in the north??), but your parents have gone to China
and I may not receive my promised pet rock until they return on furlough, when,
like, 2018??? XD Otherwise, may I please ask for two more pet goldfish? But I
also need a heater with the fish tank so that my silly fish don’t perish from
the cold, like poor Silver and Bronze did back in 2008! Yes, I am unfortunately
guilty of involuntary manslaughter; I simply didn’t realise they were that
fragile. ><
(5)
Teddy bear – Yes,
you will also always get this item on my wishlists. All my teddies have names
and yes, all are loved. <3 You can never have too many!
(6)
E-reader! I know people that enjoy reading from them,
but I’ve never used one before. They sound interesting, though, and I’d like
one for Christmas, please! I’ve zero idea how expensive they are, but I’m
guessing they don’t come cheap? Actually, how much does a book cost when you
buy a digital version of it to read, I wonder? Well, if they’re expensive,
maybe several people could chip in together to buy me one? This can be the
expensive present I’m asking you for, Santa; I usually add something
high-priced onto my Christmas wishlist just for you. XD See, while the cruel
and unfaithful God has left my poor left hand basically useless after He so
wantonly destroyed my life with the disabling brain tumour and subsequent
stroke, my right hand has lost a fair amount of dexterity, and often when I
flip book pages I often turn two or more! I’m hoping using an e-reader will
solve that problem~
(7)
Phone sticker: Will somebody returning to Hong
Kong over the holidays get me this, please? See, I had an awesome
blue cover over my phone, to which Joey had brought me back an Amish minion
named Tim sticker from overseas for; unfortunately the cover broke and mother
dumped it, sticker and all! My poor phone now is not only lacking a cover, but
he has no name! >< XD
(8)
Cereal: you know, having Weetbix nearly every morning
during Spring and Summer can get quite boring! Could someone please either get
me a pack of fun cereal (it’s like eight little single serves of different –
mostly unhealthy XD - cereal), or a box of that Milo Duo cereal? Actually,
didn’t Nesquik put out a box of cereal too? I’d like to try that, please! (Just
thought I’d better add in one unhealthy food item for you, Santa. XD)
(9)
Minion apparel – apparently, the ENTIRE church
community of BCAC knows of my complete obsession with the adorable little
yellow minions of Despicable Me; I’d love ANYTHING related to them, please! ^^
Well, that’s only nine items I’m
asking you for Christmas this year, Santa! It’s already an improvement from
last year; I only asked you for six things for 2014! Who knows, maybe next year
for Christmas I’ll finally reach double digits; ten presents I’m hoping you’ll
get for me! XD But you can worry about that next December; for now, your job is
to send all your Christmas elves (i.e. all my Facebook friends XD) to venture
forth and buy me Christmas presents!
Next post here … well, if I’m
organised I’d like to get my 4th ‘five years’ post out; yes, July the
10th this year marked five years since my most beloved maternal
grandma moved up to heaven to live with God forever. However, if I’m not
organised, you’ll not hear from me until the 11th, when I write my
annual Christmas greetings to everyone! Anyways, until then~
Cheers,
Em. ^^
