All I want for Christmas is ???

Normality?

Covid dead & gone forever please!

Kindle books, flowers and some really nice truffles.
I’d like to see family, but wonder if it’s worth driving over 200 miles at a time when the roads could be crammed with folk trying to meet up.
I guess it’ll be a zoom/FaceTime/WhatsApp day. How lucky we are that the technology is available.

joannapiano... I really hope you get good news on the 17th x

Because there’s nothing I want or need I ask my daughter for a voucher for my favourite Bueaty salon, I love having this for birthday, Mother’s Day and Christmas it means I get lovely facials etc that I’m to tight to buy for myself and it saves her from stressing about what to get me.
I think my worst present was a pair of tea towels from my ex mother in law.

I am no longer young and don't have many things I either need, want or have space for, so this year I am thinking I may ask for donations to a refugee or a homeless charity - people who have none of the good things I have. I know others are not in such a good place as I am - I am truly lucky - and it will be different for different people.

I love vouchers and then I can buy something I would not be able to afford normally.

Good luck! Xx

Kindle books please!!

Yes, biba, totally agree

Redhead I sympathise with you. SiL doesn’t get on with DS (not true the other way round) so we rarely see both families together. It’s just easier that way though I am sad that the siblings no longer have a close relationship. Nothing you can do to force the issue though.

Lavazzalst apart from end of COVID like you I wish for my family to get over personality clashes. My son and daughter in law don’t make enough effort to see my daughter and son in law. It doesn’t appear to bother them but it does bother me as their mother.

Absolutely nothing - just want Brexit and Covid to go away so we can resume our lives.

All I want for Christmas is:

Basically Family harmony and health!

I would LOVE my son and daughter in law to stop playing head games and ignoring me and to see my GC.

A peaceful and happy Christmas, even if they ARE still ignoring me/us.

I'd like a bottle of sherry. I'm not much of a drinker but do enjoy a sherry now and then.
My worst present ever was a tin opener from my late husband,
years ago when we were young and still romantic.

Apart from the obvious like peace on earth and a covid free new year, I would like a dusting of snow Christmas morning, gone by 2 pm of course!

A family Christmas but with Covid and the family at opposite ends of the Country it isn’t going to happen, sadly.

Of course Health and Happiness first!

Normally my DH asks me for a list since he hates the idea of randomly choosing a gift that may not suit. I am very easy to please; nice chocolates, bubble bath, a good book. If there is a specific sweater or slippers I would like I let him know where to find them.

This year I made up my mind that I want/need a new mixer for the kitchen. I have only ever had a hand mixer; now I would appreciate (and can afford) a nice heavy duty stand mixer. I let him know I would buy one for myself in time to do my Christmas baking. It is a bit of a luxury, but he and my family will benefit from baked goods.

My daughter lives near a L'Occitane store, and their soap is divine. She knows I like it, and am likely to receive it from her. Small pleasures.

I can't say I have experienced a bad gift, but then right from the start 37 years ago, my DH has asked for hints.

Covid free or effective vaccine please. Oh, and no rise in covid numbers or rise in deaths. Fat chance after millions get together to celebrate one day in the year. Insanity!

joannapiano fingers crossed for you both?

Sorry, should have begun with, I don’t want presents.

I’m with Lucca on this one, I want my family safe to enjoy the rest of their lives, not just a few days at Christmas.

Yes I'll have what you're having Chewbacca please. Failing that, an effective vaccination.

I totally agree Lucca. Well said.

I don’t want any presents. I just want an end to this COVID thing but with this Christmas getting together nonsense I can’t see it happening anytime soon. What is the matter with people ? Can’t they give up on the ffestive season just once ??
