Heylo, Santa! Haven’t spoken to you for nearly one whole year; hope you still remember who I am, coz I’ve come up with lotsa presents I’m hoping you’ll bring me this year for Christmas!
(1) BOOKS! Yes, undoubtedly the first item I’ll ask for on the two wishlists I make every year, birthday and Christmas. Never mind that the cruel and unfaithful God has left me that bloody slow at reading I can only scrape through about one book a month (as opposed to the twenty-four I’d get through before I suffered my brain injury, but I digress); I still love reading and am always on the lookout for a new book to try! One book in particular that I wanna read is the newest Harry Potter one; J.K. Rowling wrote it about Harry Potter’s son! Other than that, I’m a huge fan of fantasy novels, science fiction novels and historical fiction novels but hey, I’m willing to give anything bar Mills and Boon a try. XD Actually, back in primary school, I was madly obsessed with horse stories … will somebody please get me Walter Farley’s The Black Stallion series? I’ve never really outgrown my love for horses, either! Oh, I’ve also written down a book entitled “If I Only Had A Brain” by Mark Sherry; I’m presuming it’s somehow related to the brain injury I suffered back in 2007? Anyhow, it sounds interesting; someone please get me that too, please!
(2) E-reader: I know some people need to feel the paper pages of a book and can’t read with an e-reader, but I’ve tried using one (I had a carer who brought along hers one afternoon and lemme try using it) and I’m fine with them! I’ve no idea roughly how much e-readers cost, but if they’re expensive, maybe several people could band together and buy me one, please? I’ve heard there are ones so high tech that they’re actually waterproof, but while I’m in the bathroom I’m showering and therefore don’t have the time to read. Just your average one will do me fine, thanks. XD
(3) Smartphone: I’ve been using my current Huawei one since 2012, I think, back in the days of small group: Team April and Ray! Both parents have since upgraded their phone and I think that I’d like a new one too, please! One modern enough to play Pokemon Go; my current one is too antiquated to download the game. XD
(4) Minions: yes, things haven’t changed the slightest from last year; I am still unashamedly totally besotted with those small, yellow, jellybean-shaped creatures. Get me minion anything, apparel, please! Wait, Google defines apparel as clothes; I meant minion ANYTHING, please!
(5) Teddy bear: all my teddies are names and yes, all are loved. No, I’ll never get enough of them. XD
(6) Pet: I’ve almost given up hope of ever being trusted with a live pet again, after I admitted to the involuntarily manslaughter of poor Silver and Bronze back in the Winter of 2008. Look, I honestly didn’t know that goldfish were so wimpy they’d need a heater in their tank come Winter to regulate their body temperature! Luke, you did tell me about pet rocks some years back, but you never brought me one, like you said you were going to!
(7) Cereal: life gets boring when you just have plain Weet-bix day in, day out, you know. In the past, I’ve tried asking for a box of Frosties and a box of that fun pack cereal (you know little single serves of Fruit Loops, Coco Pops, etc.) but this year I’m asking for a box of NESQUIK cereal! Yes, I’m aware that Nesquik’s chocolate milk powder, but this year, they’ve put out a cereal too, and I wanna try it! Other than that, how about somebody get me one box of Milo Duo cereal? Milo cereal’s yummy; I’m not sure how does Milo Duo cereal differ from normal Milo cereal but yes, I wanna try it, please!
(8) Colouring-in pencils: about one month ago, someone bought me a minion colouring-in book! Now, I’ve never really been the artistic type; I’ve only coloured two of the minion pictures so far, and that’s using the colouring-in pencils my carer brought with her! I will sheepishly confess that I lack any colouring-in skills whatsoever: if you check out the two I’ve coloured in so far, you’ll probably notice that the lines aren’t very neat and that I’ve prolly coloured outside the lines in other places! XD But practice makes perfect, so somebody please get me some colouring-in pencils! Big thick ones if possible; I find the pencil-thin ones harder to grasp, coz while my demented left hand’s basically useless, my functioning right hand has lost much of her dexterity …
(9) A gingerbread man! Pastor Grace recommended me this daily devotion called She Reads Truth; recently, one night it was talking about gingerbread men and I was like, "Hey, I honestly can't remember the last time (if ever?) I had one; please bring one for me, Santa! I'm not even sure where you buy gingerbread men from, Woolies?? XD

Lol, I’m really not overly materialistic, I don’t think; I’ve already run outta things to ask Santa for this Christmas! Oh well, I reserve the right to add to this list should anything else grab my attention. As for now, Santa, please send all your Christmas elves (ie. All my Facebook friends that read this post XD) to start buying me Christmas presents!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. Next post here … prolly my Xmas Greetings to everyone. It’s due out on December the 11th. Anyways, until then~
