I know Oprah has her favorite things.. Now here are a few of my favorite things.  Last minute gifts in the $100ish range or under.  Honestly its easy for me to compile a list for the ladies.  I personally have so many favorite things it's difficult to narrow it down. 

1.  Every woman loves a great fragrance.  A top favorite for me this year is Gucci Guilty.   Fabulous scent runs between $75 and $95.  You can find it at top retailers such as Nordstrom or Bloomingdales. It's on my list to Santa.

2.  Ugg slippers.  So yummy! Such a cozy treat.  They last forever i have had   mine for at least four seasons.  I wear them daily.  They run between $69.95 and $99.95  You guessed it time for a new pair!  Nordstrom.

3.  A favorite undergarment hanky panky's  low rise of course.  Nordstrom sells a gift pack of 3 over the holidays for $49

4.  Hunter original tall rain boots.  As seen in Twilight films.  $125.00  Nordstrom.  With all the rain in So. Cal lately these stylish rain boots will come in handy. 

5.  Fingerless gloves.  You Can find these stylish accessories at any major retailer in any color or design from $9.00 on up to $58.

5.  For the guy that likes to be stylish and keep his extremities toasty.  You guessed it fingerless gloves $15 on up at orus.com.

The true spirit of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of baby Jesus.  To me it's remembering that and really being in the true spirit of giving to sharing and loving others.

I grew up as an only child.  As you might be able to imagine I did pretty well with the receiving of gifts.  I could barely sleep Christmas eve in anticipation of what was to be in the  morning.  I was always in awe at the huge pile of presents that  magically appeared under the tree..A best girlfriend of mine also an only child said to me earlier "if I had a dollar for every time I heard you must be so spoiled.  I would be rich."  Or at least have a substantial savings. 

 As a young girl I was so blessed yet I always dreamed of getting  a Barbie dream house.   I do happen to know one little girl that's going to be pretty excited on Christmas morning when she get's hers.  I will live vicariously through her excitement.  Can't wait!  Did you have that one thing always on your list that Santa just didn't bring? 

Such a beautiful season with the decorations on the tree,the lights, the pointesetta''s And good friends and family.  So much here especially living in the United States to be grateful for.

Wishing a merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
