15 men I want to find under my Christmas tree… and 6 things I’ll settle for instead

Frankie Genchi

Dear Santa,

My name is Frankie and I am a 26-year-old girl from the UK.

I am writing to tell you what a good girl I have been this year, and I know that you are very busy at the moment, but I would appreciate you looking over my Christmas list and seeing what you can do.

I realise that this may be a pretty tall order, so I’ve included a slightly easier version of each “gift” that you can get me instead.

Give my love to the reindeer and the elves.

1. Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer OR Magic Mike


I’m going to assume that Matthew McConaughey is this year’s most requested gift, closely followed by Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer. While I would love to find the gang getting their kit off amongst the baubles and tinsel, I suppose watching Magic Mike (the stripper flick staring all of the above) on Blu-ray will be pretty much the same.

2. Adam Lambert OR Trespassing


Adam Lambert is pretty much the perfect man. He’s talented, he’s handsome, he’s got more style, charm and sex appeal than most male singers out there at the moment… it’s a shame I’ve got no chance. Thankfully, his incredible voice is enough to make me feel better about not being Mrs. Lambert, so I’d like a copy of his hit album Trespassing, please.

3. Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson (One Direction) OR Take Me Home


I want cheeky charm and lyrics to make me feel good about myself, and I want it to come from five guys who have taken the world by storm since appearing on the X Factor. The only boys I can think of who fit the bill are Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – they’re in a band called One Direction, Santa. Then again, they’re so big they’re probably huge at the North Pole, too. If that’s a big ask, I’ll settle for a copy of their second album, Take Me Home.

4. Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner OR The Twilight Saga


I’m unsure whether I want to find Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, or Edward Cullen and Jacob Black under my tree this year… I suppose if it’s the latter, I could watch the sexy vampire and the hot werewolf fight for my affection. Then again, Twilight isn’t real, I realise this, so rather than settle for the actors, I’ll have The Twilight Saga on Blu-ray – that’s the first four films in the saga.

5. John Grimes, Edward Grimes OR Young Love


I’ve been thinking about who I want to have around on Christmas day, and it has to be John and Edward Grimes. The twins are not only hysterically funny and probably a great laugh to be around, but if I give them an acoustic guitar I know they’ll be able to perform a few beautiful covers of Christmas carols for me. If that isn’t going to be possible, I’d like their Young Love album, please.

6. Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal OR The Walking Dead box set


When I watched The Walking Dead I wasn’t sure if I was Team Rick or Team Shane. Similarly, in the real world I’m not sure if I’m Team Andrew or Team Jon – I love them both in equal measure, it’s impossible to decide. If you don’t have enough wrapping paper for both Andrew and Jon, then perhaps you could bring me The Walking Dead box set so I can watch it repeatedly and make an informed decision in time for next Christmas.
