I am very much looking forward to spending Christmas with my family. My schedule doesn't allow me too much time to get together with them, so when I get the opportunity to, I am truly grateful for it.

My mother called me about a week ago and wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas. I told her that I wasn't sure, but I knew that I wanted to get a new pair of sneakers and that I wanted a pair like my other pair Baby Phat. They are these really great sneakers, that are outrageously stylish, and they just last and last. I told her that they weren't the same as the Phat Farm sneakers, they were made by the same company, but the one's I wanted were the Baby Phat one's with the paint splashes on them. I told her that I wanted them to be white and they had to be high tops. I didn't know if there were other ones out there with the paint splashes done in different colors, so I told her that they had orange and purple and pink in them, just to be sure that she bought the right ones. With my mother, if you are too vague or general, you will definitely wind up with something totally different than what you are asking for or expecting, which I wouldn't really mind, except I really can't afford to spend the money and buy them myself and they are just so comfortable and the Baby Phat brand really stands up well.

Anyway, while we were on the phone, I asked her what she wanted for Christmas and she told me that she wanted pajamas, but that is what she asks me for every year, and so this year I wanted to do something a little different. I went over to Kohl's and bought her pajamas, and while I was there they were having an incredible sale on jewelry and so I was able to get her a very pretty necklace which only cost me about $20 after all the discounts. It was definitely worth much more than that, but if you have ever shopped at Kohl's then you know that their deals can be incredible, if you shop on the right day. Anyway, I know that she will be surprised and I am very much looking forward to spending the holidays together.
