We like to write our Christmas letters to Santa early here so he can plan accordingly. After all, it takes time to do what he does. This weekend, LB and I sat down to decide what we each want for our birthdays and Christmas, plus we tried to think what AH would like for Christmas. This is the resulting list of what I want for Christmas and my birthday – I’ll follow up to share what we’re giving our children in case you need ideas for the kids in your life. Disclosure: Amazon.co.uk links are affiliate links in this post. I would be listing the same things anyway, but this way if you happen to click through and buy something I get a tiny little amount that helps me buy more books and craft supplies which I then write about in this blog. I currently don’t use any other affiliate programs.
I am wishing for…
