Kristen's Christmas List

Otherwise known as, things no one can buy me, but still would be lovely to have...

1. A happy and healthy family heading into the new year. I want everyone I love and cherish to have the very best holiday. I want them to get over all their aches & pains (and torn meniscuses) and start the new year, ready and raring to go. 

2.  I want - no, I need - Donald Trump to not become the President of the United States. 

3.  If #2 is not an option, and the entirety of the United States loses its mind, I'd very much like Canada to open their arms to me when I come asking for a new home. 

4. Time.  Time to create and craft and read and relax.  Along with this, I'd also like some extra creative juices. Mine need a little topping off every now and again. 

5. A Winning Lottery Ticket - Seriously?!  Can someone please make this happen?

6. A way to meet people that doesn't entail using Match.com or hanging out at bars.  I know that it's not a mathematical impossibility - there are boys out there that are funny, and kind, and like to read and watch crazy television, that are big fans of travel and eating.  Where exactly do they hang out - other than online and in bars?  Let's make this happen people!

7. A new and amazing opportunity that will get me out of this professional rut.  If I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, that would be fantastic.  If you're really looking for something to get me for Christmas - that's on the top of the list.  Just tell me what to do with my life.  That's all I really need right now.

8. One ultimate password, that is easy to remember, secure and will get me into every site I so desire.  Half of my life is spent clicking the "Forgot Password?" button on websites...

9. I could really use some hair that would automatically just do what I want it to do instead of having a mind of its own.  

10. Tolerance - to not go crazy (mumbling under my breath and cursing the gods) when people on Facebook, Twitter or on cable news say dumb, heartless and non-inclusive things. 

11.  For the Ravens to remember how exactly to win a football game.

12. For Jason Manns' Covers with Friends (including Louden Swain, Jensen Ackles, Tim Omundson, etc.) to be just as awesome as we all think it's going to be.  This is the one thing I'm almost positive will come true. (And while we're on the topic of cute boys of Supernatural - an early 12th season pick up would do wonders...)
