My mother has vascular dementia and most days does not seem to enjoy life. I am hoping we can give her a happy and memorable Christmas this year.

I don't want much
just an umbrella that won't blow inside out the first time I use it and a pair of black ankle boots

I wish for a global epidemic - of kindness. May we all catch it soon!

I would like a new ipad

At the moment I would just be happy if I could find the earrings that I bought for my granddaughter! My husband and I both saw them in our bedroom and they have disappeared.

As I don't need any stuff. I would like countries to stop fighting with each other and try saying something nice. I would like my son's partner to answer my texts in less than five days. I would like to live long enough to see my brand new baby granddaughter grow up and be fit enough to look after her when needed. Not a lot to ask.?

i would love a kindle oasis

SuzC Sun 20-Nov-16 10:48:52

Health, happiness, love and laughter for all in my life!

A little break away by the seaside might be a nice treat too...

I'd like another 'experience voucher'! Our younger DS gave us one for a night in a themed suite in Scottish castle with dinner in the restaurant last Christmas and it was a lovely short break in the Spring.

I would love a pair of straighteners to stop my hair looking like a lions mane. and of course good health to all the family

I love to read, and if I am not lucky enough to win this super prize then a MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION to WOMEN AND HOME for a year would be great. After I have read the magazines from cover to cover they go into my crafting room to use for decoupaging small boxes, nothing is wasted.

I wish for health and happiness for all my lovely family and friends. A bottle of Bombay gin would be good too!!!!!

SusieWilkinson Sun 20-Nov-16 09:18:21

My Christmas wish is for a break from the anxiety and depression which has been weighing me down for over 40 years, books are a great escapism for me though.

simone1 Sun 20-Nov-16 08:15:41

MY WISH THAT I HAVE WANTED FOR YEARS IS A APPLE MAC LAPTOP OR PC ITS JUST SOMETHINK I HAVE WISHED FOR YEARS SO LETS HOPE THIS YEAR IM ON THE GOOD LIST PLEASE SANTA

worriedmum Sun 20-Nov-16 00:10:01

I'm not looking for a gift as such but I'm hoping my eldest daughters twins arrive before Christmas as my youngest is sitting mock A level exams straight after they start school in January. She lives 500 miles away so I won't see them until half term otherwise. Please please please come on time

I still like a 'surprise' - drives my family mad as they say they can never think of anything! I am very easy to please though, honestly.

Lottie2tiger Sat 19-Nov-16 22:26:18

Work has just been crazy throughout October November and going into December so my big wish is just some time relaxing with the family.
Chocolates and bubble bath would be great too!

judylow Sat 19-Nov-16 22:08:13

Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men (and women), oh and I'd love all those books to share around.

pfcpompeysarah Sat 19-Nov-16 22:01:34

Would love a nice holiday somewhere warm soon but so long as my family are happy and healthy then that's the best gift I can ask for at the end of the day.

waldorfgrosi Sat 19-Nov-16 20:43:49

I wish my only grand child to experience love and harmony with both her parents this Christmas.

milliemoon1 Sat 19-Nov-16 20:32:58

I'd like some v nice chocolates!

Sjl19 Sat 19-Nov-16 20:09:02

Some new perfume is on my list

Angela1961 Sat 19-Nov-16 18:59:04

My Christmas wish would be to go to bed on Christmas eve and to wake up the following day to find all my family including whose who have passed away to be all together . We'd have have a lovely meal and a great catch up.

granh1 Sat 19-Nov-16 18:34:38

My Christmas wish would be to get my country back - children with job insecurity, and siblings not talking to me! Not a good recipe for an harmonious Christmas!
