It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where you go,... including right here on Active Rain!  Everything from posts on personal Christmas stories, Holiday charity events, to even pic's of some of the Rainers in their Holiday attire!  Last week, my friend  Kat De Long of Windermere, in beautiful Lake Arrowhead, CA tagged me with this NEW holiday MeMe which has been spreading throughout the network. So the rules are as follows:

The Christmas MeMe Rules:

1. You have to name a gift you would like to have for Christmas.
2. It HAS to be an object. We ALL want happiness for Christmas.
3. If you could pick one single gift out for yourself, what would it be?
4. Remember, it HAS to be something you can touch and hold.
5. THEN, name 5 people or more and send this to them to do the same.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Well, being that I am always up for a challenge and that Kat is a GOOD friend, I thought I'd better respond and post my Christmas gift wish. However, I really don't usually like asking for things, those of you who know me well, know that I am more of a giver,... but in staying with the guidelines, I guess I will let everyone know what I am really hoping for this Christmas.  So that being said, here goes Kat!

For the past year, while being a busy Mom & business owner, I know it's hard to believe, but I also have been moonlighting as a maid, yes that's right, I said it,... a MAID!!! Well at least it feels like I am.  I wash up to 3 loads of laundry a day, iron it all, keep 4.5 bathrooms up to snuff, mop floors once a week, wash windows inside and out once a month,make beds, vacuum every 2-3 days weeks...that's right said WEEKS, as I can only vacuum when my vacuum decides it feels like working!  It's HORRIBLE!  I've taken it down to the repair shop more times this year than I care to remember, or at least my pocket book cares to remember.  So, while I desperately need to replace it with a NEW one,... during the holiday's, I would much rather just deal with it a little longer and save the $$$ and use it toward purchases for family and friends. So I guess what I'm saying is, SANTA, if you can hear me, I've been very, very, very GOOD this year and if you can find room in your sack for a NEW vacuum for little old me, I would really appreciate it!  

OKAY, for those of you TAGGED Rainers (your names are below the RULES), here is what you do:
