I would really love a new kindle, mine is the first edition one and it has lasted years but it is definitely on its last legs

"Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight"

I've been with my partner for 7 years and we've been living together for 5 years so it's about time he made an honest woman of me: my wish would be for an engagement ring!

A crate of Bath Ales 'Dark Side'stout. For the iron content you understand. I once had a chilled glass of this on a very hot day in a restaurant in Glastonbury. It's not available in my local shops.I have dreamed of savouring a small glass of it ever since.

My Christmas wishlist is that I get to spend time with family and friends. I've been really busy the last couple of Christmas's and have not been able to see them as much as I'd like. This year will be different!

My wish for Christmas is that I never have to spend it alone.

This Christmas I would love for my son in law to have a new job. To have the grandkids around and see them open their presents.

I'd just like for everyone to get on and for everything to go smoothly! smile

I'm going to wish myself a swifter recovery from my operation and be able to provide a fun Christmas for everyone.

I don't really have a wishlist, I just love to see the grandchildren on Christmas day and watch them open their presents. I go to my daughters on christmas day and all the family gathers to open presents. I then spend most of christmas on my own with a good book and christmas films.

I would really love a guitar for Christmas as I really want to learn how to play x

I'd just like next year to be better than this one.

would love a tablet - electronic rather than medicinal!

I've had a rubbish year financially so we're not really doing Christmas presents so my wish is that next year is a better one for everyone.

lexigran Sat 26-Nov-16 17:36:37

My family around me all healthy and happy.
No need for presents, just their presence smile

Philp17 Sat 26-Nov-16 17:33:12

World peace, health and happiness. Cure for Alzheimer's and cancer. Equality. And an end to Global warming. When all thes wishes are fulfilled, a great night out with friends would be my best present.

An asteroid to land on Nigel Farage and Donald Trump, but failing that a new yoga mat

A healthy and happy Christmas and New Year 2017 including all the family. Hoping to see the family more often and be part of their lives. I need a smart phone and a computer ( the latter pc screen not working and my phone is an ordinary phone passed on to me. . X

That families unite after parting through disagreements, that people grieving for lost loved ones find peace in their hearts, that people put other people before material things, I could go on, but in a word, a more loving world.
