This is the time of year when we make out Christmas lists — things we need, or things we would like — a way to make the gift-buying process a little easier for those we love. Now let me ask you: if you got everything on your list this year, would you be happy?
I would. At least for a few days, until I would have to take advantage of the after-Christmas sales. Or until New Year's Eve, when I probably would need a new, cute top to wear. But then I would definitely be happy. Oh wait — then January comes and I know I'll need some new work-out clothes for the exercise program I start every year. I'll let you in on a little secret. I am never satisfied. There is always something else I want.
We know Christmas isn't really about the gifts, the lights, the tinsel. Jan wants something more, something — eternal. Go read All I Want for Christmas at The View from Her.
