Hehehee - love no. 25!
This is great. I love your wish list....just threw in the Jaguar? like an after thought? cute.
You know, I have NEVER eaten mince pie. Until recently, I really thought it had meat in it. I know, i am totally blonde!!!!
I have a Sony Cybershot - it's great!
I totally want Jo Malone stuff too. I love her scents and I am not even a perfume person. My mom is the easiest to shop for as well.
Merry Christmas L-Jo! I love the Father Winter you have! He's wonderful!
And #2-your other half can make you smile...that is how it is in our house too. Such a great feeling knowing there is still a smile to be found at all times
Thank you for visiting and you are more than welcome to come on over for coffee!Anytime! It is always on (if you saw my profile..I live for coffee!) I will even share my sweets that I'm making!
Love your answers. I always use gift bags. Not a good wrapper at all. Too impatient like you. And the answers to 25 are great, and funny! Hehe.

Have a wonderful day.
