All I want for Christmas...

... Is a nice, sensible coat from one of the new (well, relatively new to my radar) wave of cool, understated French brands*, such as these little numbers from The Kooples and Sandro; and a new Lomography (worran INCREDIBLE brand) camera to help build the collection I can soon see myself amassing, like this multilens one. I already have the Holga camera and received the Fisheye as a birthday gift last year (remember me showing you the results?). I'm excited about more photographical adventures to come.

So that's a good coat and a good camera please Santa. Come to think of it, some slippers would also be good. And then of course pjs. Ooh, and I could really do with some new, music sound quality-enhancing headphones... the WISHLIST really is never-ending in fact. It would seem I didn't in fact return from my late November trip to India** as unmaterialistic as I thought!

I am also super excited, as always, about seeing the faces of others as they open what I have wrapped and ready for them under the tree.

But of course, Christmas, and this time of year, is really all about quality time with family and loved ones, reflecting, giving thanks... and far too much fine food. (oh, the food).

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. Enjoy. I'm off to enjoy some eggnog prepared by le sister.
