My husband has just been made redundant so presents will be small this year. My wish would be for my husbands new business to be a huge success

A few hours peace to enjoy a book without interuption would be nice

A few days off work and peace and quiet -priceless!

I would love a smartphone for Christmas so I can make it into the 21st century

I wish happiness and fulfillment for our amazing daughter who has been through so much. That would be more than enough, but having rediscovered the reading bug this year just a few of these books would be great.

Wish my family would be healthy and happy smile

My hubby and I are treating ourselves to a holiday

Jigsaw puzzles, books and DVDs are on my Christmas wish list.

An extra pair of hands would be great as we have 18 for Christmas Day, along with a pair of ear plugs to pop in when my gran children's noisy toys kick in coupled with a nice glass of rose and a big box of choccie for the evening when they've all gone home happy healthy fed and watered

I would love my dear sister to be happy in her sheltered housing flat when she moves into it on 20 December 2016.

I would love for all the family to slow things down a bit this Christmas instead of everything happening at 100 miles an hour and so we can enjoy things more and relax!

I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas & a peaceful and healthy 2017. Winning £500 of books would be my idea of heaven! Love reading and this is an ideal time of year to enjoy reading them!

i really want my son to pass his RAf entrance tests

fran021 Tue 13-Dec-16 19:20:07

This Christmas I just want to spend time with my family, extended or otherwise. Then return home and spend some very quiet time on my own. Chilling xxx

suziedee Tue 13-Dec-16 19:19:16

I'd love some new experiences for 2017, such as theatre tickets, visiting gardens or an afternoon tea out to give me more happy memories rather than "things" for Christmas

squarebum Tue 13-Dec-16 19:09:54

A peaceful solution for Syria.

Mary berry's cookbook

Countryfan Tue 13-Dec-16 18:52:20

I would very much like a new face (mine's weather-beaten and life-weary) a townhouse in the Dordogne (I keep asking the lottery fairy to send me the money to buy it but she never does) and Willie Nelson on my doorstep with his guitar (to sing his greatest hits to me, of course!).

Failing that, I would be delighted with bath bombs, Merlot, nutty chocolates or coffee gifts.

Happy Christmas Gransnet and all grans!

For health and happiness (and a handsome young man in my stockings)

I would love to get a new iPod nano and some workout clothes!

candyfloss79 Tue 13-Dec-16 17:47:43

My Christmas wishlist always has lots of books on it. I would also like Santa to bring me lots of sleeps-in!
