Living with the boy friend: All I want for Christmas

For me, the allure of Christmas is gone. Long gone are the days are making lists, snooping around my parents' house for gifts and waking up early to see how many gifts Santa left me. (Yes, I would count and I think my mom must've known because my brother and I always had about the same amount of gifts.) I really enjoy giving presents and have half of my buying done. I still need to finish up the BF and his side of the family. I have a list of ideas and hope they like what I end up getting but if not, that's the beauty in giving the gift receipt, right?

I don't know what it is about the snooping but I haven't given that part up. The BF knows not to keep receipts or the gifts in the apartment. If they are in the apartment, he wraps them - amazing what he's learned, huh?

If the BF, err Santa, is reading my little blog, here are some ideas for you.

Bose Soundock for iPod
My parents have the Wave machine and it's amazing. This has been on my list for the last two years because we don't have sound system in our little apartment. That way, I can carry this from room to room and not have to blare the computer speakers. (My neighbors will appreciate it too.)

Over the knee boots
I have pretty large calves and love the slouchy boots. Yes! Finally! Boots that fit my 17" round calves. However, I'm looking all over for over-the-knee boots in the very popular size of 9.5 or 10 and still can't find the perfect pair, except of course these beauties at $1,995.
