What's on your Christmas wish list?

For those who believe in Santa Claus ;), if you could choose just one thing for him to bring you for Christmas, what would it be?

An acceptance letter from law school! :D

I'll probably have to wait longer than that though.

Peace on earth?

Okay... how about something simpler... peace between me and my ex?

Oh, you mean an actual "thing?" Okay... ummmm.... yeah... I got nuthin'. No wishes for things. T'would be nice to be surrounded by friends and family, drink some egg nog and make music together. Yep, that's all. But, that won't happen, either. So, I'm just gonna duck outta this thread now.

To get rid of my backache.

a nice golden from the state, and my dream retirement place in VA

I truly dont know. As far as material things, right off the top of my head.....nothing, I guess. I really dont need anything or have any express wants right now. ;)

There are certain people that I hope get nothing. I would give up all my presents to see their hopes and dreams dashed.

Whoa there, Viva! :eek: Not very Christmas-like. Hopefully no one on this forum has made you feel that way. :(

Okay, I read your "Taking out my frustrations" thread, and I think I understand! ;)

Oh yeah...no Harrison, no one on this forum! LOL

There's plenty of other people besides those referenced on that thread that I would like, just once, to get stiffed.

Man, I just ruined this whole nice Christmas wish list happy thread. I'm so sorry. Seriously though, there's a lot of people I know that don't deserve anything but the needle. But it always seems like those people who's husband buys them a new Lexus like in the commerical. :mad:

I could desperately use a new car...or a nice job. Or money for school. Yeah..any of those would be great.

Mainly if I could just find some fundage to get presents for the ones close to me...(family and Alec) then I'd be totally happy.

If I still believed in Santa...I'd ask for an Ipod. *smile*

Nadine.

Ipod. And I am totally getting it from santa aka mommy and daddy :p

I am asking Santa for an excercise bike.......I have a few pounds I want to shed, and with the holidays probably a few more to go with what I want to lose already....lol. :o

Yep I'm with Fos. Peace on earth. What could be better!

My sister invited me to spend Christmas with her and I'm going, too! We are gonna have a ball, sis, just you wait and see.

I would like a pair of shues in size dan... ;)

A man? :D
lol

Joke aside, that war stops, that children be safe, no more people starving. Peace on earth too I guess.

On a more personal level, that my children be always safe, happy and healthy.

New Silverware and Kitchen Knives..... :D

My college loans paid off!!!

*LOL* That took me off guard, 'love. I had to do a double take...hehe...

As for me? I'd like Santy Clause to drop, in front of me, enough money to start my own business...so that my D-Dub up there and me...can start our own business and never have to worry about jobs ever again.

little spoons :o

Can't ask for better than that!

I know my boyfriend already sent me something. It's probably chocolate, and hopefully Niedererger marzipan flavoured hot drinks, but it sure would be a really nice surprise if it was a weather house :)

Other than that, I wish for patience this Christmas; my stepson will be visiting and one of my kids has a birthday right after Christmas so things will be extra busy around here.

I will be going away with my Joe at the end of February for 8 days. It will be the first time we are together. It's a very nice resort on the gulf and he is buying me a whole wardrobe for it. Yesterday I got the list of what to expect. He had to give it to me because there are many things coming from online stores and three boxes from him. Plus, he said there will be surprises in the boxes for Christmas. Needless to say, this is going to be one of the best Christmas I have had in years. And it really isn't because of all the beautiful clothes. It's finally having the love of a man who loves me back with passion and honesty. If I could have anything at all, it would be for us to be together now. But, I can't be greedy. I am one blessed woman.

Wow, any germans here. My grandparents sent me a huge styrofoam package of lebchuchen (gingerbread), stollen (fruitcakey stuff), canned herring in horseradish, spetzle (german egg noodles), bratwurst (frozen), potato pancake mix, and two of those shockolade (chocolate) advent calendars thingys. I'm supposed to introduce my fiance to a german christmas celebration.

That's a pretty sweet Christmas present!

Ohhh man! I'm not German...but I lived in Germany several times over my childhood years....I recognize everything on your list of stuff that you got...and I'm totally jealous!!! :D

Nadine.

For Joels papirwork to go through and a box to keep my bread in. :o

Ahh...to go away over the holidays and bring no stress, or worry about work, school, family or my critters with me - all I want is one week of blissful travel or adventure.

When it comes to Christmas I don't really desire any material possessions. Sure it's nice to get something to unwrap but I'd rather hope that everyone in the world is blessed with alittle more peace and happiness in their lives.

Midnight blue Audi A8 L with the W12 engine! :D

A years supply of hugs and cuddles.......... I haven't had any for a very long time and I miss them :(

My college loans paid off!!!


Ooh, ooh, ooh! Me too! Me too!! **jumping up and down to get Santa's attention**
:p :D

a set of earplugs (and of course all the yada yada of world peace love harmony friendship etc)

Love, Inner Peace, Happiness, Contentment & the selflessness required to help others...the only real way we find true contentment in life...is in giving to other people...material things are only momentary fixes...although, they are nice. :)

I wish to live everyday as if it were Christmas...waking up filled with hope, desire, passion and love...instead of just.."waking up"...does that make sense?
:confused:

Yes it does, Kathy, and I wish that for you and everybody else too! My life with Phil has brought me closer to that ideal than ever before.

We women of a certain age are so blessed to have found out what is really important in life.

Nice post!

Thanks Bubbs...exactly...which is why I really like my age and where I am in my life now...even if I could, I would not want to go back to being say...the age of 23 again. The reason I am who I am today...is because of all the wisdom I've gained over the years...yet at the same time, I have been around enough to know that ....you should never take true love for granted....it's rare...I've also learned...that we teach people how to treat us...ultimately we are responsible for the paths we choose...and the mistakes we've made.

The wise learn from those mistakes...and the mistakes actually make them become better people...the "victim" remains in the same place...doing the same old thing...and expecting different results....it's all about personal growth. :)

As nice as it would be to have everything paid off, I really don't wish for much this Christmas, having Caden so close is good enough!!

(Although, there are some really cute snowman things at WALMART this year!![sorry Harrison, couldn't resist])

Well, I say... smack the phossy, cuz for some strange ole reason, the ex was in good spirits and our exchange of our daughter went pretty well. Hell, we even spoke for a few moments. :eek: He got himself a new truck. 'Bout time. I'm happy for him.

But, if it don't beat all... he said he thought our daughter would have a better time spending Christmas with us this year (Christmas, falling on a weekend, happens to fall on his weekend this year) and I about teared up. Expecting not to have her this Christmas, I was getting VERY down and my Dad's been storming around for the last few days fuming that he might not get to see her on Christmas, cuz he's a) catholic so Christmas is a big thing to him and b) that's his babydoll.

So, I send out a wholey heartfelt PUBLIC thank ya to my ex for knowing how important it is to my whole family that we at least have her on one of the two days... its a concession I sure as hell won't forget. *wipes tear* Dang, I feel stupid... but it is ALL I wanted this year. Just to spend ONE of those two days with her. So... who knows, given that, maybe there IS hope the OTHER two heartfelt wishes can come to fruition sometime in the future. :eek:

Snowboarding gear & boots & clothing.

And add me to this list:

My college loans paid off!!!

Dangit Fos, you're making me cry. :( But, I'm so happy for you that your baby girl will be with you for Christmas.

I get very strange feeling when Christmas approaches. I know I want something from Santa but I do not know what. Yet, I feel Santa will leave that gift for me by the Christmas tree.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
