51 Things That A 25-Year-Old Single Girl Really Wants For Christmas

Let’s be honest, Christmas has really lost its charm. Ever since we became aware of the undeniable truth that no amount of gifts or gift cards will ever satisfy our aching souls, there just doesn’t seem like there’s much point to it anymore.

Because everything we want, you can’t give us. All the things we yearn for can’t be wrapped. And this year, we really don’t need another Anthropologie bathrobe. We need a f*cking boyfriend.

You heard me, Mom. I don’t want another pair of Christmas socks or another sweater from J. Crew. I don’t care about scented body scrubs and two free manicures. I don’t need a new bed spread and plates for a kitchen I’m not cooking in.

I need a man to blow my mind and a suppressed appetite to fit into those jeans you should have bought me instead.

I need a job that I don't have to leave my bed for and a credit card that doesn't come with a bill at the end of the month; I need a body like Angelina Jolie's and a husband like Brad; I need calories that actually don't count and a cocktail that doesn't make me throw up at the company Christmas party.

So this year, instead of pretending to wish for all the useless crap you could just buy yourself tomorrow, let’s be real and say what we really want. Let’s stop asking for scented candles, overpriced scarves and designer bags to fill the void... because it’s not helping.

Let’s put it all out there and admit to ourselves, and the rest of the world, that we want some pretty heavy sh*t this Christmas.
