Win over £500 worth of brilliant books for Christmas

I have 4 fantastic grandchildren, 3 wonderful sons, 2 amazing daughters-in-law and a handful of friends who make my life so very worthwhile. What do I want or need 'ABSOLUTELY NOTHING'. We should all appreciate what we have because some people are not as lucky as we are.

There's only one thing on my whole family's wishlist, a cure for a wonderful young mum's illness.

My wish is for my family and friens to have health, happines and peace in their lives.

I always wish for health for my grandson who had his spleen removed when 3 months old. He is now 6 years old, takes antibiotics everyday and there is a constant battle to keep him healthy

This year in particular, as it is the first one we will not be doing the entertaining but will be being entertained, my wish is that the awful weather we are being promised holds off until we are back home again. Christmas is a time for families and we love to be there in the thick of it.

For everyone to have a decent home. Food and clean water would be nice as well, if Santa can manage that. Oh, and peace in all countries. Not much to ask, really.

I hope that I can spend another Christmas with my beautiful sister who is terminally ill. It will mean so much to me.

Like many others on this thread, I have more than enough 'stuff' (books excepted!), so have nothing on my list for Christmas. What I would really love is to have Santa's elves visit sometime before the Big Day to wrap the mountain of presents I have been buying throughout the year for family members. I enjoy buying things when I spot them, but hate wrapping, particularly since I am so bad at it. I ought to buy shares in sticky tape manufacturers, as I use miles of the stuff.

health, happiness and for my children to get the presents they really want

my laptop has packed in , so I could do with a laptop or tablet toenable to Sype distant relatives and friends over the festive season.

My list for Santa

Health, happiness and peace for all family and friends, wherever in the world they may be.

My deepest wish for Christmas is for all my family and friends to have a very special time together, to appreciate who and what they have, to offer help or kindness to strangers, and the poor people in tragedies around the world.

The smile on my first grandaughters face on her very first Christmas morning to me will be priceless, love her so much sometimes feel my heart with burst!

My great want is peacefulness and happiness for all my family.

I would also be eternally grateful for a cashmere sweater for myself but I don'the think that is going to happen!

My darling husband has been on a trial drug for his terminal lung cancer, given only 6 months he's still here coming up for 3 years. Our first Christmas was awful, the second I was holding my breath and expecting it would be his last, but this year with all my family coming for overseas to celebrate with us, I am joyous and filled with the Christmas spirit - and of course thank God for the past wonderful years and for anything we have in the precious future. So jingle all the way!.....

I don't have a Christmas list as such but my DS who is 18 will be home from uni and my DD can't wait to see her brother. That will be the best gift ever.

A lumie bodyclock to help get me up this winter

For the husband I love to have some time off and our working family to have some time off and all be together even for a few hours! Peace health and happinesss to all gransnetters!

A cycle rack for the car! Any book would be great. I love reading novels

My husband and I are treating ourselves to a trip to Japan next year-sonarent buying each other pressies this year(and prob not next year either!)
From everyone else I would like their love, their good health and their happiness

To be with my two grandchildren and watch them opening their presents and cook a big Christmas lunch for them all but as they live in Australia it's just a dream

Please Santa I have been a good girl, I would like Jo Malone smellies please ?

I'm not bothered by getting presents, but I do love spending time with my family over Christmas.

I'd like my new relationship to step up pace a bit

I would like my husband to stop being Grumpy. He's driving me mad! I've probably got more of a chance of winning these books, or the national lottery then that happening though
