twenty-four: on the list

This is number twenty-four on my Christmas wish list:

accordion-hero

That makes me laugh probably more than it should.

What’s something you don’t want for Christmas?

    Don’t want ANY utilitarian items such as kitchen wear or cleaning aids. NOPE!

    That is a funny picture.

    Merry Christmas Adam and Eve!

    In a way it’s strange… it’s a christmas without wrapped gifts this year… but in a way… that in and of itself feels refreshing at the same time.

    I think I know the perfect gift for Chuck. I never knew such a beast existed.

    Avon Jewelry. My mom always sends me the ugliest of Avon Jewelry.

    If you really know me, you know that I wear my wedding ring, my anniversary ring, my gold Cross necklace and gold hoops. Have for years.

    I guess it is proof that once again my Mom doesn’t know me. LOL

    That is an awesome pic…Makes me want to take up the squeeze box.

  6. Ahh that one’ll do just fine thank you not!

    ..or a Viola!

    theresa — aren’t the best gifts the ones that say “i don’t know you at all”? shame.

    mr. love — one viola, comin’ up!

    apple pie — i know about you and your love of all things present. i wish i’d sent you something!

    faith — did you peek INSIDE the bag?

    yeller — awesome shirt! ha! i’ll (not) take one of those with the game.

    See’s Candies- I know I am a BIG OLE sinner for not liking See’s, but I don’t

    Yeah Faith spill it!!!

  14. charlenegarrett says:

    a bath set from the $5 section of “gift packs” at walmart that SOMEONE in my family always gets me. You think that they are saying I stink or they just don’t know what to get me? At this point in my life, cash warms my heart like it never did before!

  15. Lisa says:

    Oh, I so agree that the best gifts of all are the ones that say, “I thought of YOU when I chose/made this, and my motive is to make you happy.” The ones that say, “I see you, I know you, and I wanted to do this for you.”

    Size or cost doesn’t matter; if it”s come from someone’s heart, it makes MY heart swell to bursting.

  16. Lisa says:

    Oh, and one thing I REALLY wouldn’t want as a gift at Christmas or ever is one of those Christmas sweaters from Quacker Factory on QVC!! No offense intended to anyone who likes them, but they are absolutely not me!

  17. faithstart says:

    no i did not peek! i do have SOME self control, haha!! I for real did not remember that he put them in there other wise i would have not looked. I like to save the surprise for Christmas Morning!

  18. Becca says:

    I’d have to say this guy coming to my house and singing this. Don’t want this for Christmas.

  19. How about a red cup of something wonderful? That’s what I’m talkin about.

  20. Can I get an “amen”?

    Adam and Eve…

    Today is Christmas Eve…

    Thought Adam might be offended…

    Just a little play on words to be silly…

    I can be silly at times… :-)

  22. Brandy says:

    accordian hero?! AAAHAHAHAHA! That is HILARIOUS!!

    Something I don’t want? another toaster. haha!

    I don’t want my kids to be ungrateful or feel like Christmas is OWED to them. I want them to enjoy spending time together as a family. I don’t want to be sad for Christmas because I am missing my mom and granny.

  23. Brandy says:

    Heidi! Sweetness! You don’t like SEE’S CANDIES?!?!?!?! oooh oh oh shame. shame. shame. shame. LOL!

    I HEART See’s like nothin else! haha!! If I get See’s I am one happy girl!

    What chocolates do you like?

    Bran,

    Hmmm

    Hershey’s pot of Gold…

    Reeses pieces like NOBODY’s business.

    Godiva ANYTHING (even their liquour, umhuhuh)

  26. Soliloquy says:

    This is classic. I just emailed it to my brother, who had a thing for accordians when he was in college.

    Not even lying.

    Me? Lingerie. Do NOT give me lingerie for Christmas. Ever.

  27. gitz says:

    Ok, so I know I’m the most gullible person on the planet, and admitting that makes it possible for me to ask:

    Is that real or did someone make that as a joke?

  28. another turtle neck shirt. Last christmas i had to ask my mom to please not get me another turtle neck shirt. Every year, for about five years, my mom got me a turtle neck. not a fan! I swear they had to be running out of colors by now.

  29. alece says:

    heidi — and i am SO not a barefoot person.

    char — yeah. cash is good.

    lisa — just hearing “i see you, i know you” does wonders for my heart.

    faith — i’m proud of you.

    becca — i laughed when i saw that this morning. and it brought me right back to youth camp when we showed that other clip of him singing? funny stuff.

    apple pie — amen. i wish i could send you some.

    gigi — merry christmas adam to you!

    bran — no toasters. got it.

    andrew — check.

    soliloquy — yeah. that would be more of a gift for spin than for you, eh?

    gitz — nah, it’s just a joke.

    tracee — i’m wearing a turtleneck right now. jealous?

  30. shannon says:
