spoiler alert: if you’re related to me, there’s a chance that an item noted below will be under your Christmas tree. There’s also a chance you’ll be struck by lightning. Go ahead, play the odds.

All I really want for Christmas is quality time with family members. And of course, the whole peace on earth, good will toward men thing. Except as it pertains to Scrabble with the aforementioned family members.

As I was reviewing ideas for my list (still a work in progress), I got to thinking about what I’d want if I didn’t already have it.

Definitely my Keurig.

I love my Keurig. Turns out, a lot of other people do, too. After they try mine, they go home and buy their own. So much for that idea.

Then I saw these pillows at my friend Anne’s house.

Anne is an awesome designer (www.annefurey.com - coming to an internet near you in January, 2011) and her home was part of a Holiday House Tour last week. She let me take the picture, but she wouldn’t let me take the pillows.

They’re perfect for a number of people in my family. You know, to help soften the blow when they get trounced at a game or two.

Anne bought her vowels at etsy.com, but I think I can free up some time, maybe between 3 and 7 am next Thursday, so I’ve picked up some supplies.

I’ll let you know the score.
