this christmas... |letter #31|

Dear Those Little Girls Who Look Up To Me, 

Christmas is just around the corner and I wish you all the very merry best.  As we prepare for the holiday festivities of lighting up our cozy homes with bright lights and Christmas trees, stuffing our stockings, and drinking the American eggnog with family members, I send a sweet wish that this year you girls create your wish-lists with care and much consideration.  

As someone older and I would like to believe wiser, I would like to grant you a wish-list specially designed by yours truly and hope that Santa, your parents, or whomever you believe in shall grant you such.  Here are 25 things for Christmas I hope your loves give to you: 

What every girl needs: 
  1. That best-friend specially designed to challenge, develop, amuse, and choose you. 
  2. The ability to never leave your house without your full confidence. 
  3. A clear mental camera ready to truly capture your precious moments. 
  4. One heck of a purse to carry your entire life in. 
  5. The resources and opportunities to live out that little dream building inside you. 
  6. A diary to document all your gushy feelings not everyone deserves to know. 
  7. A favorite memory to keep reliving when your sad. 
  8. The knowledge to decipher when someone isn't looking out for your best.
  9. The burning passion to accomplish all of your goals. 
  10. Some bad shoes to walk the runway called life.
  11. The ability to cook your favorite foods. 
  12. A love of life that should never die out. 
  13. The perfect accessory that goes with every outfit. 
  14. Some mase to weed out those no good trifling little boys out there. 
  15. The ability to laugh when life aims to make you frown. 
  16. A desire to change the world, or at least an issue dear to your heart. 
  17. An attitude, spice, and sass to remind those you stand your ground.
  18. A ground to even stand on, a solid foundation to lay your nest. 
  19. The hope to believe you deserve everything you work for. 
  20. The confidence to know you can and will be loved by a man for everything you are. 
  21. The ability to perceive those who love you and those who don't. 
  22. A treasure chest called your body to protect, cater, and preserve. 
  23. Long legs to walk away from those that hurt and run to those who heal. 
  24. A loving family to lean on and live with and a role model to look up to. 
  25. And the perfect song to define, inspire, and sweeten your journey.





Everything else will fall in place. 

Love, 
Stephanie
