I want a "nice" camera, but I'd take a Full day w/o the kids fighting and whining
over that any day. :)

We will be getting a new matress set along with an awesome bedroom suite I picked out yesterday at Ashley Furniture. It will be a king and we have a queen now so I will be in need of king size bedding for my new set. :D

And world peace ;)

World Peace would be nice...;)

Other than that, all I want is my family to get together and have a great day together! Capped off with an excellently prepared (By Everyone!) Dinner.

And, in case I don't get a chance to; Happy Holidays Everyone!

I hope you get your wish, two years ago we adopted a 12 & 14 year old :), now we have a 8 month old baby that we have had since she was 6 days old. If everything goes as planned we might be able to adopt her yearly next year.:D

There is nothing that I really want...I'm happy to see that my kids are excited with what they get...since they are only 3 1/2, and almost 2 (on Sunday), it's not hard to please them now, so I guess I'd better enjoy it before they're teenagers, and aren't happy with anything!;)

Thank you. :) That is awesome about your older children and sounds like you are well on the time line to making the little girl yours. My best friends have a little boy they have had since he was about 8 months old they are very close to being time to head down that road as well.

My fantasy would be some princess cut diamond earrings. But in reality I would be happy to be able to provide a good christmas for the boys. Money is tighter this year than I thought it possible to be and with electric rates climbing in my area (but the electric authority has a huge surplus and yet they are raising rates) and gas prices...

I want the same thing every year, but I get so caught up in the material gift giving that I forget to ask for it.

Someone to help clean up the paper/packaging and help put away the gifts in the aftermath.

We go 10-12 places between Christmas eve-evening and Christmas night, and we are just home long enough to dump out and reload.

If I could have anything in the world for Christmas it wouldnt be a present for me it would be new lungs for my mom, she has pulminary fibrosis, and shes on oxygen 24/7. Shes been in the hospital 6 times this year for a total of like 85 days already this year. Having her healthy would make me happy. So she could play with my kids like she really wants to do.

I had told my dh a couple of weeks ago that I really, really wanted my foyer painted as a Christmas gift (very tall, two story and a big pain to paint) I knew he didn't want to paint it so I told him to use any money that he would use on a gift for me toward hiring someone to paint it. any way I went out of state with our three younger children last weekend. My dh and step son painted the foyer for me while I was gone!! It looks incredible. They worked so hard over the weekend and I'm thrilled. I don't care if I get anything else!

Those of you that know me know about Miss Lexi (who just turned 5 Tuesday), well we've been in the hospital over 5 months this year (we just came home from an 8 week stay). So, what I would like the most is just for us to actually be home for X-mas.

As far as actual material items:
clothes, jewlrey, purses, shoes (a girl can never have too many) :D
a new area rug for my living room
a new desk top

10-28-2007, 6:29 PM
What I'd like for the holidays is for dh to not be in pain from his back and hips anymore (chronic degenerative arthritis) and be able to enjoy life with the boys. If I can't have that, I'd like an adult tricycle so that I'll start exercising again.... A pair of cz earrings would be nice too (diamonds are definitely not in the budget)! :yup:

I hope you get this wish. What a great gift for the children as well, loving parents. God bless you and your efforts.

My wish has already came true, as long as we don't have a bad snow or ice storm that stops the flight, I am taking my DGD to Disney the week before Christmas. I can't wait to make memories with her. :yup:

i have to add i would like for some one to come christmas morning and put the toys together and put the batteries in and clean up the wrapping. after all these yrs of putting toys together i actually stop and think about getting something just because of the size and how much work it is before hand. :g_doh:

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And, I have given this a LOT of thought. I even have over 200 bucks in "Play money" in my Paypal account and can not think of a single thing to spend it on.

All I want/ask for the holidays is for my oldest dd to not have any blowups on Christmas Day, it ruins the day for all four of us. She has every year, but my fingers and toes are crossed.
As for material things, I seriously just want that more than anything in the world right now.

Well I think we all want world peace, a maid, kids that listen, etc. LOL

So, in addition to all of that, I only have a few things on my list this year as dh and I started a business this year that took all of our time and money.

A Kurv vaccuum for easy cleanup of dog hair LOL
An All Clad slow cooker to be able to have a nice meal when I get home from work late every night
Some Victorias Secret silk pajamas
Gift cards so that I can buy what I want/need during the year and not have to take money away from the business
