My Christmas List
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Life |Here’s the thing. It would be hard for me to make a Christmas list sharing all the things I want. Because really, I have everything I NEED. Please notice the word need. I capitalized it for effect. Everything on my list would be frivolous.
I am one lucky fucker. I realize it everyday.
On Christmas morning, Elle always feels bad because she opens about one zillion gifts and I only have a few. I don’t mind. Because I feel blessed. Elle is so cute, she’ll sometimes ask me to help open her gifts so I have something to do besides watch her and smile and drink champagne. Don’t judge, it’s a holiday.
Well this year I decided to buy myself stuff. Frivilous stuff. Here’s what happened to be on my impromptu list:
- a case of sparkling wine – bubbly makes me smile

- two sexy pairs of 4″ pointy toed heels – my favorite shoe style
- a picture frame for my kitchen
- a wine key necklace – a local artist made it
- Botox – I realize this isn’t under the tree
- Other stuff that I wrapped weeks ago and forgot about – I like surprises too
- And whatever else I find between now and tomorrow morning.
So Merry fucking Christmas! I hope you enjoy this time with loved ones and champagne. I know I will.

i’m gonna call your bluff. i’m 6ft 3 and those fuckers would be damn near as tall as me. they are probably more like 4 INCH heels.

who dat: That took me long enough. There’s a big difference between ” and ‘. Yes, they are only 4 inch heels. Thanks for catching that typo.

Becky: No big plans for New Years scheduled. I’m sure it will include sparkly and bubbly beverages though. Coming for a visit?
