Minty's Christmas Wishlist 2012

Long time no see. Looooong time no see. I have been gone for a while for various reasons.

Mostly laziness but also school. Junior year has definitely been the most hectic. SO. Much. Homework.

And it's every night! I wish teachers would realize that I actually have TWO blogs to keep up with, my social life, my family life, and track.

Anyway, I had to come back for the my annual Christmas Wishlist. I mean come on, did you really think I was going to miss it?

1. Steve Madden Zerge Riding Boots. I don't think anyone knows how badly I want some riding boots. I am ripping my hair out trying to find the perfect pair and these are it!
2. Fashion Lab Jane Studded Combat Boots. Hell yes! These boots are just plain old sexy. What else is there to say except I need these on my feet right now?
3. Basic Essentials Metallic Pants. Dare I say? These are almost as sexy as the combat boots...
4. Jordie Animal Print Ballet Flats. The black is currently out of stock but as soon as they come back I am hoping on these bad boys!
5. Leaf Open Adjustable Ring in Gold by janesshopinetsy on Etsy. This Etsy shop has vanished (totally sketch...) but this gorgeous ring still made it on my list. 
6. Personalized Bracelet by Frosted Willow on Etsy. My name's not the most common (my real name, not Minty...come on guys) so this is a nice alternative. Initial bracelets? YES.
7. Womens Nike Victoria Sneakers. I really like Nike. We have a love hate relationship actually. Love Nike's stuff, but hate their prices. Geez, don't they know I'm broke?

So that's basically everything that I want for Christmas but won't get for Christmas. I'll probably get a card, a hug, and a million "Merry Christmas" greetings. But I'll keep praying to the money Gods until then. 

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Eve!

Christmas or Thanksgiving?

This is a boring question, why did I add this one to the challenge? 

Let's just wrap this one up quick, okay? Get this boring shit over with...


Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday compared to Christmas.

Mainly because it's cheaper.

It's not as competitive as Christmas either. I feel like every year I'm always begging my mom to buy me some amazing gift so that when I go to school after Christmas break I can say that I got this or that. I always want to get the better gifts than someone else.

The reality is we can't afford great gifts because my mom has a sucky job and is single with three children and a sick mother. 

Instead, Thanksgiving is truly about being with family. It's basically free since we have food stamps and it's always fun getting the food together with my mom and family.

It's nice and carefree and once Thanksgiving break is over I don't have to lie about what I got or what I did (unlike the lies I tell during Christmas time).

A Holiday Message from Minty!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my readers! I hope it's amazing and you get everything you want. 

Let us all be thankful that God has blessed us with another amazing Christmas to celebrate with our family, friends, and loved ones.
And let us keep in mind the people who are less fortunate, let's hope they have a beautiful Christmas/Holiday as well.
