After purchasing Evelyn the Evergreen, and listening to Christmas music in our condo, I am really in the holiday spirit. This has led me to do a little bit of thinking as to what I would like for Christmas this year. Since they don't make boxes big enough for husbands or a singing career, I have come up with four simple alternatives. These four items are all that I want. I would be lucky to get just one, as they are all great gifts.

1. Did you know that Talledega Nights comes out on DVD this December 12? Of course the masterminds in Hollywood planned this, knowing that those of us who saw this movie in theaters more than one time (me) would either buy the movie themselves, or getfor it for Christmas. I guarantee you that by Dec. 25, one or the other will have happened. Shake and bake!

2. Hobo's Loretta wallet is the perfect size to either use as a clutch, or just throw in your purse. It will even hold my cell phone. As pretty of a shade this blue is, I prefer classic black.

3. I'm still holding out for a Chi straightener. I love my Target straightener and all, but the Chi heats up and cools off faster, is a lot easier to pack, doesn't damage your hair as much, and most importantly, since the on/off switch is on the inside of the handle, I can store it in the bottom drawer of my wooden desk without worrying that I am accidentally turning it back on when I put it away and it will catch my desk and condo on fire when I am at work. SOLD!

4. The Devil Wears Prada is another great movie that - surprise! - is coming out just in time for Christmas. Loved the book, loved the movie.
