All I want for Christmas is ???

Joannapiano thinking about you, puts everything into perspective xxx

A last Christmas with my 27 year old daughter daughter, she has cancer.

My worst present - the “book of the month” which had previously been sent to my mother in law as part of her book club deal and which she then gave to me for Xmas announcing “I’ve only read it once “ (!)

I've asked for A Promised Land by Barack Obama from my family in the US. Christmas reading sorted

could I have my older brother back please - Covid 19 took him in April.....

Joannapiano,I would go without gifts in the hope your husbands results come back perfect

Worst gift was a pocket sized umberella from the x who wasn`t x then.

To know my daughter is ok. She’s having treatment at the moment following an abnormal smear. I hate that she has to attend hospital alone. She’s more concerned with me avoiding the risk of Covid. But I still see her as my baby and wish I could protect her.

As well as the Kindle books I put in earlier , I would love to find a ankle/calf length winter coat, size 22/24, that I can wear when out on my wheelchair as I'm really struggling to find one. Thought I had found an M & S duvet coat, which fitted brilliantly, but the double zip was impossible to use so I am left with cold legs! And I tried 3 of these coats, all had the same issue with the zip.

Shesasana I hope your daughter is ok xxx

I can tell you what I don't want - the bread maker my daughter in law is determined to buy for me, even after I made it clear to my son that I don't want one!

I've now asked him to make and keep the receipt.....

Goes without saying we all want Covid-19 to get lost for ever.
No more nasty viruses, peace on earth and all of that, Im sure we all agree on those.
On top of all that I would like a weekend in a nice hotel, a pretty ring, pearls, a slinky black velvet dress and the figure to carry it off.
Hoping for a good result for joannapiano and happysexagenarian.

And Shesana

shesanana, hope your daughter is okay

As others have said already, for Brexit and Covid to be over, plus some help from hubby with Christmas dinner, would be nice. Maybe Chocolate Brazils and perhaps the latest book release by one of many favourite Authors.

Worst present? A broken Wine rack, bought in a sale, with all the "reduced to...." labels still on it. From my step daughter, who still hates me, but no longer speaks to me, now that her father has been dead for ten years!

Oh if Icould grant this I would.
So sorry

I hope for that too for your huby joannapiano xxx

My hubby is buying me a new tablet......not paracetomol, but electronic thingymajig. I hate new techy stuff, but this is old and waning.

So sorry for you hf59...xxx

hello Shesana, I hope your daughter is ok too. I had an abnormal smear and it was followed by a quick hysterectomy...pre cancer cells and that was 37 years ago.!

Fingers and toes crossed...xxx

Hey Froglady! That doesn't sound good. I am wheelie too and wear a warm cape with fur collar and a fleecy blanket round my legs. They do hurt when they get cold.

I`m same size as you too.

Liz46. I can’t go to shops and get shopping delivered. Found best chocolates ever. £3.50. Large. Supermarket own . T/o. Size of normal £10 box. Consider trying.

Just to hope we all have a better year next year.

My worst Christmas present, well I'll tell you. My deceased mother-in -law was a great fan of car boot sales. One year I had a jumper from her and the armpits smelt of sweat!

and thoughts go out to those who have sadness in their lives this Christmas time.

I am so sorry for ask those who have lost loved ones this year, to Covid or other deadly diseases. I hardly know what to say to people I know well who are facing an isolated Christmas having lost family.

I don’t want anything for Christmas but as I have living with me an AC and little DGC who will have a pile of presents, we have decided we need to be unwrapping presents for DGC’s sake and have put by all Christmas treats, nuts and snacks to be wrapped up and exclaimed over on the day. Watching a child’s joy is present enough for me.

I would love a cuddle with my new GS. He will be 3 months by Christmas. Even better would be for my other GS to meet his new cousin properly. Hopefully all the social isolation we are doing before Christmas will at least mean we can all get together. That will be better than any present.

Motherduck I am so sorry about your daughter. We are waiting for the results of our daughter's biopsy. If it is benign, that's the best Christmas gift we could have. I don't want to think of the alternative. I hope you have a good Christmas with your daughter.

As for bad Christmas presents, my cousin excelled herself one year. She gave my daughter a plastic brooch that must have come from a cracker and my mum a manicure set that looked like it came out of the Ark. My husband and brother-in-law got a pair of shapeless grey socks each. My sister and I each got a pair of horrid knickers in lurid colours, size XS. Cousin knows that we are XL girls.

My sister twice gave my husband a thong. Twice! One of them had sparkly silver sequins. If there ever was a man who would loathe a sequined thong, it's my dear husband.
