Tis’ the season! Children all over the world have begun prepping, strategizing and organizing their Holiday Wish Lists. They sit endlessly in front of the television awaiting toy commercials and sifting through toy catalogs, documenting every item that will make the list that will eventually be sent to the big man in the North Pole.
Let me just note that I do realize I aged myself with the above comments. Catalogs? Kids are probably online shopping nowadays. Making gift registries on a vast amount of sites. Their letters to Santa look more like this…
My letter goes a little something like this.
Dear random large man in the red suit that lives in the Arctic Tundra and surrounds self with many little animal people or ‘elves’ that work around the clock all year long…, (eek, i hear lawsuit bells)
All I want for Christmas is…
Scrumptious flavored coffee to be on sale every week at the super market. Wait, this is MY wish list. So, endless shipments of scrumptious assorted flavored coffee delivered to my front door.
A Smart Coffee Maker. A coffee maker that has the ability to detect me in the house and instantly brew up a fresh, warm pot of coffee. I know it sounds similar to a Keurig. But I don’t want a Keurig because hubby doesn’t want one. So I want a Smart Coffee Maker.
One of your little elves. Preferably one that enjoys babies. This elf will be utilized for baby and toddler night duty. I will relieve him by 9am each day and let him rest. But by 3:30pm he’s back on the clock.
I originally put 8am. But why do I keep selling myself short on my wish list??
 |
| yes please. |
Drive thru Supermarkets, Target’s and [more] Starbucks.
A shiny, new, running outfit from lululemon. I’m talking head to toe lululemon gear. Comfortably amazing. I know if I had this outfit I would finally look like this…
 |
| But since I don’t have the best running clothes I’ll just keep eating cookies. |
A radio flyer wagon that in fact can actually fly. It will be utilized to help me load and unload the car everywhere I go. Requirements of my flying wagon: must be able to hold at least, two infant car seats (and babies), a toddler, all of my millions of bags, todder snacks and the toys that “must come with us.”
The Folder. You know, the machine that should sit next to the washer and dryer.
I would imagine it would look something like this…

| enter chicken scratch |
A Chocolate Milk Maker & Dispenser that can be utilized by my toddler. (And for my toddler to never ever say the words, “i want chocolate milk” again in my lifetime.)
Because I am just getting back into this list making thing of demanding things that I want, I will go easy this first year.
In return, I’ll clean the chimney and bake you cookies. Do you mind Almond Milk? When you arrive, feel free to setup the Chocolate Milk Maker or Smart Coffee Machine and help yourself. Or make that Elf you are leaving behind do it. He should be clocked in by then.
Happy Holidays!
Wow, now I really understand the excitement for Christmas morning!

| Awaiting The Folder! |
What’s on your Holiday Wish Lists!?
Yes on the laundry folder and chocolate milk dispenser! Maybe I should just kindly ask that he leaves one of his elves under the tree….. That would work as well 🙂
Haha, every mom deserves an elf, right!?
“Buy since I don’t have the best running clothes, I’ll just keep eating cookies.” <–Lol Loved it all, thanks for sharing!
Lol, thank you Lauren. Any excuse for a chocolate chip cookie.
I so agree with this list especially the laundry folder but can we make an update to it here and make it a folder, sorter, and put it all away type of thing? The milkshake and coffee makers sound like pure delight…heck I might as well ask for that magical elf as well, while my kids are now teens I just need help cleaning up after there tornado like messes.
Such a great post, as you can tell from what I wrote above I absolutely loved your ideas. Thank you for sharing with #MommyReality.

Lysa, I love your advancements to The Folder! Maybe this letter should just be signed, ‘every mom that ever existed.’
Great list!
Laundry folder… umm, yes. I’ve been procrastinating all day in the the laundry department *le sigh*.
The oh my goodness, any kind of liquid dispensing machine would be super helpful around here!
I think my list would also include an all expenses paid vacation to Hawaii… without the kids. The resort will offer daily massages, yoga on the beach, and all you can drink Mai Tai’s. A mom has got to wish. right?!
Wishing you a lovely week.
xoxo
Jennifer, how could I possibly have left an all expenses paid vacation out!? I am so rusty at this wish list deal! I mean, hello. Lets throw in a free babysitter for the kids and call it a day. Daily massages with a long straw to my mai tai… here I come! See you there girly!
I just wrote a post very similar to this one!!! LOL
I need an iron-er…which would work after your folder does his job. And a chauffeur!!! And a drive thru supermarket would be AMAAAAZING!! 🙂
I’m over from the SITS blogging link up!! Have a good one!
Sammy! Yes, an ironer… maybe an elf ironer? Ugh, I buy clothes that I make sure do not have to be ironed lol.
Ooh, I definitely would’ve been up for the elves who would do night duty. I’d take the chocolate milk maker, too!
Maybe add a bottomless wine dispenser as well? Just a thought…
This list is awesome! 9 – 3:30 seems like a much more reasonable shift that 24/7, especially with the coffee 🙂 I didn’t even think about lululemon, awesome choice!! I’d always wear yoga pants then…
I know Janine. They would be glued to my body. I mean, besides the stretchy pants that currently are…
