We will be picking a winner at random on 14 December - more details on the page

Someone else to organise & cook Christmas dinner so I can relax for the first time in 30 odd years. That would be lovely!

Good health and happiness for all the family at Christmas and all year

Christmas wishes and Christmas kisses
And somebody else to do the dishes!

Time to get fit on that new bike
And something stunning to wear for a Fbook like!

But as We can't all go to Cinderella's Ball
I'd settle for a wonderful time for one and all!

And if there was something just for me
I'd love that box of books under my tree!

That my doctor son who travels all over the world training other doctors always returns safely to his family as he sometimes visits dangerous places. Today I am very relieved that he has come home from South Africa.

Apart from a bumper box of books, my wishlist contains: a chauffeur-driven limousine to pick my parents up from their house and deliver them in style to mine, 50 miles away, on Christmas morning! That would be fun.

I hope to forge a better relationship with my Downs Syndrome granddaughter this Christmas, as she has been reared to be very selfish and demanding. She can't help it; I can't seem to help showing my disapproval, which doesn't help anyone, least if all the child.

A happy Christmas for all the young children in the family would be my best present.

For my daughter to get into the University of her choice, having achieved the three A grades she needs to get there, she has worked so hard,

I'd love a peaceful day, meat not over cooked and the house ready with decorations up and wrapping done well before the early hours of Christmas morning. The last several years have been disturbed in one way or other quite majorly so calmness and no medical issues are wished for. Serenity for all please c

We are so lucky having our two grandchildren living a few minutes away from us. They are now 15 and 12, but they still expect Nana and Gramps to pull on their joggers ( without even having the morning cuppa) and rush round so that we're there for the present opening!
Wouldn't miss this for the world.

What is on my wish list? Apart from World Peace, I am hoping (wishing) for a happy family gathering here with my DD, SIL and newest DGS and SIL's parents, especially his mum who has early Alzheimer's. She needs to enjoy as many moments with him while she can.

I wish for my children and grandchildren to have happy, healthy lives and days filled with love. Oh I would really like a decent bar of lactofree chocolate

philatel Tue 22-Nov-16 10:42:16

Top of my Christmas wishlist is good health for my Mother and sister - and me! I can do without any other presents if this came true.

dahlia08 Tue 22-Nov-16 10:47:15

All I need is my health and to be close to my family and good health to them too. I love reading and do is my family, it will be a great gift to win girl all the family. X

At my age (73) there is not an awful lot I need (I may want but I don't necessarily need). I love my 'smellies' so bath/shower products and perfume, but most of all being able to spend Christmas day with family means the world.

Lunchtimelady1 Tue 22-Nov-16 11:07:35

After a year of many, and varied, health problems for several family members I would like a year of health and happiness for all concerned. Health issues always put all other problems into perspective.

nettyandmasey Tue 22-Nov-16 11:10:27

Books,books and more books!Im having a wrist op on the 23rd december so plenty of time to read. and to be with my children and grandchildren.

GrandmaMoira Tue 22-Nov-16 11:15:54

I hope that my grandchildren have a lovely Christmas. They enjoy it so much more than adults. I would also like (though it won't happen) to be invited somewhere else for Christmas. I've done Christmas every year for 35 years.

Holly42 Tue 22-Nov-16 11:31:15

I would like photograph albums to store the photos we have taken on our recent holiday to Memphis and New York for happy memories to look back on when we are reminiscing!

Barry60 Tue 22-Nov-16 11:34:02

Can never really think of things for myself, much more pleasure in finding thing I think (hope) the Children and Grandchildren would enjoy.

For the electoral college voters to have seen sense and gone with the popular vote. Save the world!
