All I want for Christmas is.....

[captain]

I would like my SIL to realise she is not the only person on the planet who is "allowed" to have Christmas Day Lunch at her house. We would like to have it sometimes too .....

Then, I will call Richard over and she can kiss his "skinny white arse of Christmas cheer!"

For Christmas to be Christmas again...

To be 5 years old and believe in Santa and be excited Christmas morning.

For the stores to stop putting their Christmas stuff out before Thanksgiving...I wish Christmas was less about what you get and how much it cost and more about the people that surround you.

To be comfortable spending Christmas this year in a place I've never been with some people I've never met...In Deleware with my SIL's family.

To stop worrying-if just for a moment-how I'm going to pay my bills (especially the auto insurance)

For everyone to be happy.

For my 10 year old rat terrier, Lacy to have a jacket that I can't afford (I can't even afford the really cheap ones) She shivers when it's 80 degrees.

For people to have their Christmas spirit all year long and not just at Christmastime. (Most people are nicer around Christmas, although I've met a few that got meaner)

And mostly, for this to NOT be my mothers last Christmas, as the doctors predict. But if it is, for it to be the happiest one she's ever had, especially since, for the first time in 8 years she'll have all her kids around her for Christmas.

There's a long list of what I could wish for for everyone, but I won't go through it all.

I'm going to Australia, I'm going to Australia!

Sumbirdy,

I fear that I have the same maternal 'problem' that you have.

I pray that you have many more family holidays in your future. Of course, you know that it is out of OUR hands, so make the most of them and always smile.

God bless you!

I like to think of it that I've been blessed in having 19 years with her, some people get far less.

When someone you love is dying it always puts things into perspective. Never take anyone or any day for granted. It makes life a little bit sweeter (bittersweet maybe)

I've thought of another wish....I wish that we make it SAFELY to Deleware.
