Christmas Gift List

So I decided to get way out in front of the holidays this year. I've compiled a list of possible gifts:

1. The OED

2. A brown corduroy blazer. Not this one, particularly, but something like it (maybe without the elbow patches)

3. Restatement of the Law Third, Foreign Relations Law of the United States

4. The West Wing

5. A brown or black messenger bag that is professional enough for me to take to work. My last one, which I got at Banana Republic, broke. Non-leather, obviously.

6. A Mondaine Watch.

7. New brown dress shoes.

8. Amazon Wish List.

So anyway that's somewhere to start. Please put your suggestions for Christmas shopping in the comments section.

The OED is $900.00. Have you checked into the OED online?

I already spoke to Irene about a pair of fuzzy slippers, which is what I'd like from you-guys.

Don't know what dad would like but I'd guess anything Harley.

It's more of an all-time wish list than a real Christmas list. I was more kidding about the OED. I'll put some less expensive things out there in a little while.

Anything Harley? That's so done. What's the real skinny?

OK about the brown shoes, but what size?

Is that a male purse? or briefcase? Need more info.

I'll seek out the real skinny. I'm in PR for the rotary, so I'm in the know!

I'll find something on your Amazon list, okay?
Jake would LOVE something like this from you:

The shoes should be an 11 in brown. And it's *not* a purse! It fits my active, urban lifestyle. Like this (but not leather): http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=30847&pid=375296&scid=375296012

Or maybe this one: http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3091463&cp=3075215.3075278.3075281&view=all&parentPage=family

Why aren't you guys followers of my blog, by the way? Did you see I added that feature. It would really do a lot to bolster my self esteem.
