I wish for my 35 year old son to meet the girl of his dreams and be happy forever, like his Dad and me.

I wish for my BF's knee replacement in the new year to go well and I would love to spend more time with my mum who will be 80 in spring, but I am in the UK and she is in Germany. Everything in the house is falling to bits, so a new sofa, fridge freezer, computer, TV, washing machine and oven would be nice, too. And 20kg less on the bathroom scale.

Paint brushes -- no I've not lost my marbles, theses are for art not decorating.

I don't get to see the whole family together often, so the only thing I want for christmas is a good old fashioned family reunion, all of us sitting around a dinner table. I hope we get to spend christmas together this year.

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

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

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!

A peaceful solution for Syria.

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

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

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

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

aspella Tue 13-Dec-16 20:00:26

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