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.

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

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!

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.

"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!

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

Christmas for me is about cherishing every moment with my husband and three beautiful boys, spending quality family time together and being thankful for what I have been truely blessed with in life.

All I want for Christmas is better Health for my daughter & partner & not so many worries in 2017.

I would love a photo canvas of my six Grandchildren all together, unfortunately it is impossible to get them all in one place, at the same time hmm

I would like to find the friends I have lost touch with ..

Welcoming my DD at Heathrow airport, back from travelling the world for more than a year!

My Christmas wish list is very short - I wish one of my children would invite us to their house for Christmas dinner instead of waiting to be asked to ours grin!!

trisher Mon 28-Nov-16 11:40:46

I wish the NHS could be properly funded and care for everyone.
Personally That my DIL could have a job nearer home.
That my DSs all have a healthy year and their problems clear up.
That my mum's memory problems don't get worse and she continues to live independently.
I'd quite like some nice perfume and some good books!

olivia280177 Mon 28-Nov-16 14:05:27

I would like smiles around the dinner table and a little bottle of perfume please!

diamondlil14 Mon 28-Nov-16 14:49:24

Good health and happiness for my family and friends would, of course, be top of my Christmas gift list. I hope 2017 is a good year for us all.

My cousin is undergoing a biopsy a week before Christmas to determine if a previously treated cancer has returned. If I could wish for one thing this Christmas it would be for her to get good news

zaksgranny Mon 28-Nov-16 18:05:03

Health wealth and happiness for everybody plus some free time to read all my books!!! Would love to win this fantastic prize.
Merry Christmas to everyone x x

My son who is n the Marines will (hopefully) not be spending Christmas overseas this year. To have him, his wife and my only grandchild with us for Christmas will be enough.

geri Mon 28-Nov-16 20:29:06

Top of my list would be for my son to finally commit to his long term girlfriend, she will be a lovely DIL, and for my younger son to actually find someone he could settle down with.

ajmiddleton Mon 28-Nov-16 21:06:41

Of course, health, happiness, friends and family are top of my list but I would like to enjoy Christmas wrapped up in a hygge home. Cushions, furry blankets, hot chocolate, marshmallows, log fire, pj's - Christmas for the soul!

after seeing a street cat named bob at the cinema the book is now on the top of my wishlist, that and hoping more people will help homeless people x
