It Begins: The Christmas List

Thus continues my series on the perfect holiday gift. Now we turn our attention to the one person on your list who probably deserves something more than anyone else. Yes, he’s been good all year. Yes, he’s sat by while life has offered him happiness interspersed with some slightly shambly moments. But all in all, things are good now, considering he has no money to be lost and most of his assets lie in a closet full of pastel cardigan sweaters (and from what we hear, that market has nowhere to go but up!).

So, what do I want for Christmas? A good question (and thank you for asking). We’ll be answering this query throughout the next few weeks. Away we go!

ITEM 1

Inspiration: random child pulled from Flickr (apologies to the parents but, hey, don’t blame me when your kid turns up on Google!)

Rodeo!

That little boy is so happy! Why? Cowboy pajamas. Since I was little (or maybe just 15), I’ve always wanted a sweet pair of cowboy pajamas- 1950s style, preferably with a badass matching top. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much of a demand for cowboy pajamas nowadays (can’t imagine why…) so I’ve been forced to be content with a multitude of other, non-western themed jammies. But wait! Turns out that the good folks at Cowboy Pajamas have just the sleepwear I’ve been looking for, and in a variety of prints! Let’s check ‘em out: Two cowboys fixin’ grub? A little too Brokeback, if you ask me. Besides, black has never really been my color…

Hats? Boring.

Here’s the perfect level of awesomeness (in pajamas terms):

Great color, a sweet lariat pattern, and a cowboy off to do whatever it is cowboys do… (drug smuggling?) All I know is that I’ll rest nice ‘n easy in these colorful pajamas bottoms. Take notes, those with money and/or love.

Boy howdy.
