2008 Christmas Lists
Sander’s 2008 Christmas/Birthday List
Basically, there's some stuff on this list. And while stuff can be fun, I'm really looking forward to simply spending time with my family. This is the gift to which I look forward with the greatest anticipation and eagerness. I'd really be thrilled to hang out in the kitchen with everyone, making something tasty and chatting.
Visits from family, time spent cooking and eating- this is the big biggie.
