What Shall I Give Him?

When I was a little girl, my mom liked to have us (my sister and I) memorize little poems. For Christmas one year, we memorized this cute little poem that has always stuck with me.

What shall I give Him, as small as I am?

If I were a shepherd, I'd give Him a lamb.

If I were a wiseman, I'd do my part.
What shall I give Him?

I'll give him my heart.

Dear Santa...

For Christmas, please bring me the following...

1. Scene It? Box Office Smash for the Xbox 360 (with the cute little big button controllers, pretty please) :)

2. A Nikon d90...or, heck I'd even take the Nikon d5000 (feel free to throw in a nice lens on there, too and I'll leave you extra cookies and whole milk!) :)

3. Snow on Christmas, lots of time with family, warm cups of cocoa and a couple weeks of noooo school! :) :)

Merry Christmas, Ho ho ho!!

Sincerely,

Ashley :) :) :)
