Current Obsession: Christmas Edition #3

Here we are again with some obsessions of mine, and they come at the perfect time! Christmas is almost here! Let me take a moment to say something. I feel as though I need to get this off my chest. It has been brewing in the back of my mind for weeks now, and here is the perfect platform for me to speak what I think. I think Christmas is overrated. Let me explain. Before the gifts, trees, and lights there is a story. And no, I am not going to get into the entire biblical story, for I feel if you were raised that way you know it (yes, for the record I do know the story!). It saddens me that children only see gifts when it comes to Christmas. One of the most important themes that we can take from the biblical story of Christmas is family. And my family means the absolute most to me. I can't imagine life now without my two boys, the big one and his mini me ( I am going to need to read this post throughout the year to remind me of my love for them...). I was once a child and yes, Christmas was all about the gifts to me, but as I got older and wiser, I knew its much more. I would never take away from my child that, yes, you do get gifts on this day, but I am hoping that as time goes on he realizes that there is SO much more to this day.
After all that, I would now like to talk about the shit that I want. Shall we?
I love this stuff. I used to work in the store, Bath and Body Works, and if I had a lil extra left over, I would get this. It is a bit steep, at $24.00 a jar, but let me just say, it is one of the best sea salts on the market. I know, I know, you can make homemade sea salt, but I don't want homemade when I can get this! I would love an entire set, with the Shea Butter lotion. My God, a little of that stuff goes a longggg way. This jar has been known to last me a little over two months. You don't use it everyday. Once or twice a week, and you are gold. 

Well,
I can't do a current obsession without adding something the boy "thinks" he wants. Sigh...tell me how they got famous. I need to know. What made them so damnit famous, and why did I not think of it...Oh, I haven't mentioned WHAT I am talking about. I thought based on my half ass description, you would know. I mean, where did Angry Birds exactly emerge from. 
I don't even think this is the right game he wants. In fact, I'm not even sure what game it is he wants. There are so many of them out there, I mean, how can you choose! Every time a damn colorful bird shows its wings on my TV, my kid goes nuts. "Mom!" he shouts. " I want this too for Christmas!" "JT" I say, "Didn't you show me another Angry Bird somethin' or nother earlier?" "NOOOOOO!!! I want this one!"
"You don't know what the hell you want..." I mutter to self.  Could this or something like it make the final cut?
Possibly. It's $24.00, and I'm not sure how or what you do with it. Perfect!
